What If You Listen To Every Call?

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Coaching just got a whole lot more scalable

Hi there,

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!

CX doesn’t beg for a seat at the table... it earns it Hi Reader We talk a lot in customer experience about wanting “a seat at the table.” But Kate Guenther didn’t wait around for an invitation. She brought results. “I've seen us reduce fraud, deliver product insights, boost conversion. I mean, those three alone get you a seat at the table in the room.” In this episode of CX Passport, Kate shows what it looks like when CX leaders speak the language of the business. Not NPS. But revenue, risk,...

It’s invisible... until it isn’t. Hi Reader What if you could see trust slipping away while an experience was still happening... and do something about it before it was too late? Tim McCleary says you can. “We can now actually use science to...show the impact... we can measure [trust] during an experience that we're delivering, and if we see trust is waning, we can change in real time to bring it back up again.” In this episode of CX Passport, Tim shares how trust isn’t just a soft concept....

Don't Waste The Map Hi Reader It’s easy to fall in love with the artifacts of customer experience. The journey maps. The personas. The beautiful decks. But if those don’t lead to action? They’re just decoration. “The worst thing anyone can do is show up out of nowhere and say, here's a journey map. What are we going to do about it?” In this episode of CX Passport, Dave Seaton reminds us that customer experience work isn’t about insights... it’s about outcomes. And for those outcomes to...
