| brad cleveland call center management: Mastering the Irate Caller Joshua Martin, 2020-07-27 The notion that call centers are stressful environments is nothing new. The never-ending influx of irate customers combined with a break-neck pace is enough to wear down the strongest among us. In his book, Mastering the Irate Caller, Joshua Martin presents a proven formula for how to turn the angriest customer around, and most importantly, how to stay sane on the job. After unexpectedly landing a job at a call center, Joshua quickly discovered that he had something that almost every one of his colleagues lacked: the natural ability to de-escalate conflict. But being good at a job doesn't mean a job is good for you. In Joshua's case, all the angry insults that customers berated him with started to impact his mental health. First, he would replay difficult conversations in his head, long after he had clocked out of work. Then, he became so emotionally exhausted that he began having meltdowns in his car. His colleagues were no different. He saw coworkers having anxiety attacks, quitting on the spot after a call went bad, and even drinking on the job. Joshua knew he would either need a new career or a new perspective. After months of research, he developed a formula to calm down the angriest caller while staying calm and centered. At first, Joshua applied his formula to his own calls only. As he moved into management positions, he began training his staff to de-escalate conflict using the same tools. The results were transformative. This book is the product of his research-a culmination of tips, strategies, and almost two decades of experience in the call center field. It requires a paradigm shift-from being the victim of angry, threatening callers, to gaining the necessary tools and insights to stay calm and centered amidst chaos without taking others' actions personally. Joshua includes valuable information about the way our bodies respond to stress, how we communicate with one another, and what we need to do to be the best versions of ourselves. His step-by-step instructions and practical exercises help readers learn how to shift their mindsets, connect with customers, and leave work at work. Mastering the Irate Caller is a treasure chest of strategies that will help improve employee morale, customer retention, and mental health in the call center field. It is a must-read for agents and leaders alike. Instead of bringing the stress of work home to their families, his readers just might bring home some of his tools instead. |

A traumatic or near-death experience can change every aspect of the survivor’s being. It can erase the body’s learned adaptations, and in some cases, those who live through such a shock suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they must work hard to reinvent themselves. Combining harrowing tales of survival with lucid explanations of the science behind the body’s reactions to trauma, Surviving Survival offers a valuable and “intriguing argument about the adaptability of the human spirit” (National Geographic Traveler). |

| brad cleveland call center management: Next Is Now Lior Arussy, 2019-05-28 One of the world’s leading authorities on customer-centric business transformation, Lior Arussy—founder and CEO of the global consulting firm Strativity Group—offers “a revolutionary, yet pragmatic guide to not only managing change, but driving and thriving in a world of cataclysmic explosions of information and technology” (Joseph Michelli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Leading the Starbucks Way). The old business model of adapting to change for continued success is dead. Change is the new normal. There are no more periods of stability and predictability. There is only change. This continuous upheaval can undercut morale, decrease productivity and decimate profits, or it can be a game-changing opportunity. In Next Is Now, “Lior Arussy provides a comprehensive and instructive roadmap for leading change and preparing yourself and your organization for the future. He generously shares insider insights, examples, and lessons learned from his many years advising top business leaders.” (Denise Lee Yohn, author of What Great Brands Do). He helps corporate leaders and their employees view change as an opportunity to become invested, drive that change, and achieve more success and job satisfaction than if change were simply implemented from the top down. Based on his experience working one-on-one with major corporate clients like Mercedes-Benz, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Thomson Reuters, HSBC and other Fortune 500 clients, Arussy shares his five-step Future Ready Impact program, guiding change-impacted employees and business owners from a victim mentality to one of participation and ownership. As Stephen Cannon, the former president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, raves, “For anyone interested in building a thriving business, Lior Arussy’s insights provide actionable steps to integrate into your plans for achieving success.” |
