Join host Bruce Belfiore, CEO, and Susan Wolski – TXU Energy, as they discuss adding sales to your customer service culture. Transitioning a call center from a typical “customer service” environment to a “sales” environment can be challenging. However, in today’s competitive environment, it is critical to have everyone in the organization focused on up selling or cross selling products/services. This show will provide strategies for making this transition and ensuring that the call center is a revenue generator. These strategies allowed the TXU Energy call center to begin paying for their own operating expenses within three months, improved the morale of the employees and provided more opportunities for all center personnel.
