What People are Saying
"He made me laugh, he made me cry - but most importantly
he made me think about what I needed to do to be a better manager
- and a better person!"
Lisa Bougner, Concerto Software Corporation
"The way you delivered the message... with
passion, integrity, sincerity, and emotion was of great inspiration
to me. You brought great value to me that I will share with the
500+ employees that I lead."
Scott Klene, Director of Sales, Nelnet
"You put things in a different perspective
and made me think things in a new way. I have been in the call
center environment for over 14 years and I learned a lot from
the session. It was motivating and insightful."
Emily Brown - GE Consumer Finance
"One of the best sessions offered at the conference.
This workshop affected me more on a personal level than any of
the others."
Philips Medical CustomerCare Center
"etalk worked closely with Bob Furniss to educate our sales force
on the most beneficial way to offer etalk's new contact center
solution, Qfiniti, to our global customer base. He did an outstanding
job developing a comprehensive white paper that focused on Qfiniti's
key strengths and differentiators. Bob then presented his findings
in an informative and interactive way to our sales team during
our annual sales meeting this past January. The sales team walked
away energized and armed with the specific needs within a contact
center. This information will help them better educate clients
and potential clients with information on how etalk can provide
the tools needed to create a quality contact center."
Kathy Kuehne , Qfiniti Product Line Director,
etalk
"Our customers are the most important asset to our business and
we go to great lengths to ensure the content we provide them at
corporate events is of the highest quality and value to them.. "Bob's
keynote presentation at our annual Solutions Conference conveyed
key 'ideas that matter' in a fun and interactive format that was
incredibly well received. We are pleased that he was a part of it."
Candace Berman, Concerto Software
"Call Center Ideas is both informational and entertaining. The Web
site provided me with unique ideas to help enhance the productivity
of our contact center agents. You can tell that the consultants
and speakers at CCI have 'been there, done that' within every aspect
of the call center so they can relate to greenhorn agents, weathered
supervisors and managers, or top executives. CCI provided me with
different viewpoints on managing the call center throughout the
entire enterprise."
Barbara Hess, Deluxe
"Let's face it, working in the call center industry takes a special
breed of person! Whether you're an agent taking calls or a manager
running the operations, it's an industry that could take a toll
on you. All of us have stories to tell and experiences to share,
yet few of us have an outlet. I was excited to learn about Call
Center Ideas, during an informative and very entertaining presentation
by the dynamic speaker, Bob Furniss, at an industry conference!
Who better to share with and learn from than individuals in the
call center industry who have learned it, lived it and still LOVE
it!? Call Center Ideas provides just the creative push I need to
build an atmosphere in our center that is inspiring and motivating!"
Kimberly Palczynski, Quality Assurance Manager,
Ford Motor Company
"They made me laugh and they really grabbed me by the belt when
talking about Call Center needs. It was if they were talking right
to me and my Company! The day just flew by, truly an awesome, informational
and fun experience! Thanks Scott and Bob."
Susan McAfee, Avaya
"Whether speaking at etalk's national conference or regional workshops,
Bob offers our customers actionable, relevant information that assists
companies with transforming their customer service and support.
His engaging stories from the front-lines of service and support
centers across the country provide our audiences with real life
examples of how to motivate their employees to move toward providing
higher levels of quality service."
