Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Your call center has untapped profit potential. When properly trained, CSRs can dramatically boost booking rates and drive top-line revenue. Hitting 90% booking rate on bookable calls should be the standard. Every percentage point below that is costing real dollars. Your CSR team can be a leadership pipeline. With the right culture and coaching, the call center becomes a place where future leaders emerge. Flat compensation beats percentage-based incentives. A clear, daily dollar amount per membership or upsell keeps CSRs motivated and focused. AI has value, but it can't replace human connection. Use it for support, but don't let it take over the customer experience unless you want to risk sameness.
