I feel like we had a practice question about performance metrics before. Stricter metrics might just add pressure without fixing the root cause.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think just adding more agents won't solve the listening issue. It feels like a training problem to me.

NO

Ooh, performance metrics could be interesting. But I worry that might just make the agents feel more pressure without really addressing the root issue. I'd lean towards Option B to focus on their training and listening skills.

Hmm, I'm not sure automating the process is the right call here. That could just make the agents feel even more disconnected from the customers. I'd go with Option B to invest in the team.

JA
James
