What's included

Build More Capable and Confident Call Centre Teams

Call centre employees are often the first point of contact between an organisation and its customers. How they listen, communicate and handle each conversation can directly influence the customer experience.

WeTrain’s Call Centre Training develops the practical skills agents need to manage calls professionally, understand customer needs and communicate clearly and confidently.

Training can be delivered for inbound or outbound teams and tailored around your organisation’s call types, customers, processes and service expectations.

The program can also be structured across multiple groups or shifts, making it easier to train larger call centre teams without taking everyone away from operations at the same time.

Our standard
Listen carefully and identify what the customer needs.
Communicate clearly and professionally over the phone.
Take greater control of customer conversations.

FLEXIBLE DELIVERY

Training That Works Around Your Call Centre

Call centres often need training delivered differently from other workplaces. Teams may work across shifts, departments, locations or different types of customer contact.

Training Designed Around Your Calls

Rather than training agents using examples that have little connection to their role, WeTrain can tailor the program around the calls they actually handle.

This can include:

  • Common customer enquiries
  • Inbound or outbound calls
  • Customer complaints
  • Difficult caller situations
  • Your service standards
  • Call opening and closing requirements
  • Customer language and terminology
  • Internal processes
  • Escalation situations
  • Team or departmental challenges

Participants can then practise techniques in situations that more closely reflect their day-to-day work.

This is particularly important for call centres because the training should improve what happens on the next call, not simply give participants theory to remember.
