Summary: Real Life!
Review: This book is real life. I have spent 15 years managing call centers throughout the United States and Dan Coen puts it all on paper in a way everyone can understand. There isn't a manager out there that can't relate to what this book says about agents, upper management, and the environment of the call center in general. Dan uses analogies from sports to American history to get his point across, that building the proper culture will be the difference between a mediocre call center and a world class call center. Whether you are a seasoned call center manager or just starting out, this book is something that should be in your library. Dan tells great stories of his own experiences in the call center, such as the white-out story, that reminds me of the wild things that happen on the sales floor. Give it to your supervisors and team leaders to read. It can only help them.

Summary: Right on the money!
Review: Until this book, I had not read a call center management book that was so right on the money. This book deals with supervising people. I manage a team, and the things that happen in my "real life" are talked about in the book. Building feedback, putting together teams, creating contests and supervising new reps. It's all here. Very well done! A real targeted book about the human aspect of the call center.
