The prediction was that AI would gut the contact center, but it didn't. It just took the easy calls. Password resets, order status, FAQs, all got absorbed by AI.
What's left for your agents is the hard stuff: angry customers, multi-system troubleshooting, edge cases, retention saves. That's a tougher job than it was five years ago, not an easier one. And most training programs still haven't caught up.
Join us live on Sept 9 for our webinar, The AI Takeover That Wasn't: Why Your Toughest Calls Still Need Your Best-Trained Humans.
On the panel are Krishna Depura (CEO, Mindtickle), Marlene Summers (SVP of Global Support, ECI Software Solutions), and Poornima Mohandas (Senior PMM, Mindtickle). Watch them unpack:
→ What AI actually took off your agents' plates
→ Why sandboxes and shadowing can't keep up anymore
→ How to train system skills and tough conversations together
