EMPLOYEE TRAINING Northern CommunicationS
More than just an answering service!
"...We know this business is all about the people that answer the phones. We do our best to supplement them with great technology, but the bottom line is really the quality of the operators. I don't think any other answering service in North America has as good a record for retaining their people as we do. We try to give them what they need in order to be successful. But the passion to provide great service really comes from them..." Mike Shantz, VP Operations, Northern Communications
If you're going to be good at the answering service business, you have to have great people. They have to be well trained and experienced, because you never know what is going to happen when you answer a phone. They need to be flexible so that they can modify their response to meet specific customer needs. Its great if they are multi-lingual and can speak clearly and professionally. And its really terrific if they are courteous and friendly and really care about doing their job really well.
Take those special qualities, throw them into a mixer, and out would pop one of our NCS operators. We really have great people! Our operators are Canadian Call Management Association) certified and have been with us for over 15 years on average. Most are bilingual but they all know how to use our third party translation service (over 150 languages) should they need to. And as part of our CAM-X membership, random listen-ins are done by the CAM-X experts, and the results are reported back to us. Our high ranking has allowed us to win the CAM-X excellence award for 13 straight years! Outstanding!
