When managing a large team of agents, it's crucial to engage in regular 1:1 meetings with each team member. These sessions provide a secure space for both team leads and agents to focus on individual concerns, questions, and guidance.
What is coaching or 1:1 meeting?
It is a safe place for you and your Agent! It is a point where you can fully concentrate on the Agent, their concerns and enquiries, while the Agent can address all their questions and seek guidance from their leader.
What can I discuss with my Agent during these sessions?
The answer is very easy — anything! These sessions can serve as an opportunity to go through:
- Specific areas of improvement for the agent
- Current achievements of the agent
- Detailed analysis of the agent's results
- Review of the agent's understanding of procedures
To review all the points mentioned above, you can arrange different types of coaching:
- Role-play to see the agent's level of customer support
- Discussion session to review procedures and make sure that the Agent understands those
- Knowledge check
- Self-evaluation session to give the Agent an opportunity to review their own work
- Prof-development coaching where you can help your Agent learn new processes
- Casual coaching where you can give the Agent a chance to relax and express any personal concerns/issues
Pro-tip: Conducting regular 1:1 meetings, ideally at least once a week, is essential to ensure consistent top performance from each agent.
