??A Call Center Christmas??

??A Call Center Christmas??


‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the center
 Not a creature was stirring, not even a printer
 The headsets were hung by the cubicles with care
 In hopes that not many calls would be there


Each manager was nestled all snug in their chair
 While visions of call volume made them each glare
 And I was alone with a 10 page report
 With too many columns for my brain to sort!


When up on the reader board there displayed such a sight,
 I sprang from my office with all of my might
 Away to the display I flew like a flash
 Tripped over a phone cord and made a loud crash!


And that's when I saw it, those numbers so high
 I looked at that reader board and started to cry
 And finally I shouted, "What's going on here?"
 High call volume for Christmas could be something to fear!


Then I heard a strange noise that made me turn quick
 And there right before me was Jolly St. Nick!
 He said, "Worry not! I brought help for these calls
 And still we'll have time to deck all the halls!"


And he whistled, and shouted, and rolled up his sleeves
 I was rubbing my eyes, I just couldn’t believe
 Then he opened his bag, which seemed rather full
 And out ran a phone rep towards each cubicle


"Now Courtesy! Now Patience! Soft Skills and Listen
 Repeat the things that get customers attention
 To the end of the aisle, and on every call
 Now Dash away! Help away! Give it your all!"


As each rep signed in, I saw the reader board frown
 And then the huge call volume finally went down
 I went back to my office and looked at the screen
 Saw service calls blinking from red to green


So that's why the "Big Guy" had dropped by that eve
 It was just so amazing and hard to believe
 For the gifts he delivered had no whistles or bells
 But delivered such service and fantastic sales!


And this gift creates new gifts to give out each day
 In the actions they take, and the things that they say
 And our customer's love them, it's what brings them back
 The happiest reps keep sales service on track!


And then Santa waved, and he gave us a wink
 As only green lights were left on to blink
 But I heard him exclaim, as he walked out of sight
 "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT”
