Key Takeaways

✦

Invest as much in training your CSRs as you do your technicians; neglect leads to high turnover and missed revenue.

✦

Implement a robust CSR coaching program, ideally one that monitors and coaches using actual call recordings, to significantly improve booking rates.

✦

Incentivize your CSRs with performance-based pay, like bonuses for service agreements sold, to motivate them and reduce turnover.

✦

Recognize CSRs as crucial 'experience makers'; their initial customer interaction sets the tone for future sales and retention.

✦

Leverage AI for immediate lead response for web forms and social media, but prioritize human CSRs for personalized interactions that build trust and rapport.

✦

Actively build and maintain a network of mentors and peers who encourage continuous personal and professional growth.
