Using accountability and incentives to manage agents effectively
You may feel like you’ve empowered your agents to be accountable for great customer outcomes, but you still don’t feel like you’re getting the results you need.
Leveraging data driven insight to empower agent performance
You may be feeling like you can't see the wood for the trees on agent performance and customer outcomes. You may not be clear on who is performing, and who isn’t – and crucially, why this is the case.
Embracing customer centricity for optimal agent performance
If you feel like problems aren’t being addressed upstream and early in the customer journey, then you may have a problem with a lack of customer centricity.
Achieving quality agent outcomes through quality training
Developing agent expertise is crucial at this stage in the cost of living crisis. Balancing collections with customer support requires a specific skillset, which can be built up through the delivery of quality training. In the first instalment of our Driving Agent Outcomes series, we outline what this training should involve, how it should be deployed, and why it's so important in today's climate.

In our Driving Agent Outcomes series, we're focussing on the actions that can be taken to deliver better outcomes for customers, through higher quality interactions with contact centre agents.
Looking Upstream - The benefits of focussing on your people
Are you focussing on your people? The value of this is sometimes overlooked, and could be impacting your costs. When service metrics begin to dip, like AHT or NPS, it's easy to get caught up in symptom-driven fixes. Rather than questioning process adherence or capacity management, look upstream, and think more about people.
Customer Experience – The role of people and performance
Perception is shaped by people. If your operational teams aren't optimised to perform together, customer experience, and attitudes towards your brand will suffer. With competition returning to the Energy market recently, suppliers should be striving to promote people excellence, delivering a service that customers want to stick around for.
Dropping Prices - Rising Bills. Energy Price Cap Analysis.
Based on the latest update from Ofgem , the BFY Group team have modelled that prices will remain around £2,000 per year. The forecast £450 reduction in the headline rates won't be felt as a £450 saving customers pockets, this is because OFGEM have to articulate an annual value based on prices for a quarterly window.
Improving debt maturity in a challenging Water industry
In Water, B2B suppliers are facing a battle to be 'front of wallet', as the economic crisis continues to increase pressure on collections processes. To maintain stability, improvements to internal debt capabilities are essential.
