The Challenge

Handle Times Climbing. CX Scores Stuck At 80%. Inbound Sales Below 1%.

Average handle time had stretched to roughly 25 minutes. Customer experience scores were stuck at 80% against a 90% target. Inbound sales conversions sat below 1%.

The existing approach relied on reactive management, addressing problems after they showed up in the data instead of building frameworks to prevent them. Without a systematic approach to agent development and call handling, the operation could not close the gap.

The Solution

A Structured Performance Framework With Data-Driven Coaching

Solution Steps

Icon

Tollgate Performance Framework

Amalga deployed a structured tollgate framework that set clear performance milestones for every agent. Each tollgate defined specific behavioral and metric thresholds agents had to meet before advancing.

Icon

Data-Driven Coaching

Amalga replaced reactive management with proactive, data-driven coaching. Performance data identified specific call handling behaviors that drove handle time and CX outcomes. Coaching targeted root causes, not symptoms.

Icon

Escalation Governance

Amalga built an escalation governance model that reduced unnecessary transfers and repeat contacts. Agents were trained and empowered to resolve issues on the first call whenever possible.

Icon

Real-Time Performance Monitoring

Amalga implemented real-time monitoring dashboards that gave supervisors and the client's leadership live visibility into call volumes, handle times, CX scores, and sales conversions.

Icon

Sales Enablement and Expansion

With CX and AHT targets met, Amalga layered inbound sales enablement onto the existing coaching framework. Agents were trained to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities during service calls, doubling the inbound sales conversion rate from under 1% to 2%.
