Hi [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] - What If You Listen To Every Call?

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Coaching just got a whole lot more scalable

Hi Reader

We all say coaching matters. But most contact centers only review 1–3% of calls. Not because they don’t want to do more—but because they can’t.

​Fred Stacey sees a way forward. And yes, it involves AI.

“Typically, you're at a one to 15 ratio, where one supervisor to 15 [agents]… The first thing that [AI] does is it scales it to 100%.”

On CX Passport, Fred talks about AI not as a buzzword—but as a tool that can finally help CX leaders do the work they’ve always wanted to do. Not just monitor. Not just score. But coach.

And coach every call.

Fred doesn’t see AI as a replacement for human leadership. He sees it as a multiplier. Most teams don’t have the bandwidth to give agents the kind of coaching and feedback that drives growth. AI helps close that gap—not by removing the leader, but by giving them visibility and scale.

“You can 100% score really accurately calls on your floor. Period.”

​

This isn’t about surveillance or automation for its own sake. It’s about equipping teams with the data they need to have better conversations. To help good agents become great. To reduce guesswork. To make performance discussions real, not reactive.

Fred’s take is simple:

AI doesn’t replace your people. It helps you finally invest in them at the level you’ve always wanted to.

Your Turn:

When you’ve been evaluated at work, how well do you feel your leadership has understood all that you’ve done? Would you want an AI influenced review?

Put those tray tables up and buckle those seat belts. Let’s go!

Something New Happened Hi Reader This one felt different. Not just because of the guest (though Jessica “JP” Posey is always electric), but because we were sitting together, in person, recording the very first episode ever at the brand-new Kit Studios in Chicago! There’s something about a fresh space. New mics. The buzz of being somewhere built with intention. And that intention? It’s not just about soundproof walls or camera angles. This is all about experience. JP explains how this isn’t an...

Even if it is Wednesday Finding your voice in customer experience isn’t always easy. Especially when it feels like the industry already has a “cool kids’ table” you’re supposed to sit at. Beth Karawan shares what it’s like to feel that way…to question the “plastics”. She also shares what happens when you stop chasing the clique—and start building your own tribe instead. “Slowly but surely, I found my tribe, as it were, of people who were also questioning the status quo.” Beth and I first...

What Is Southwest Thinking? Hi there Gonna take a little break here. Just a couple of weeks. There's some great new CX Passport episodes coming up later in May. This week, just wanted to share a LinkedIn live I did with Sam Stern several weeks ago all about the changes Southwest Airlines announced. It was impromptu and a quick reaction to the news of the day. I think it still holds true today. Put those tray tables up and buckle those seat belts. Let’s go! -Rick P.S. If you know someone who...
