Customer support
Support calls customers leave calmer than they arrived.
Scripts cover the easy calls. The hard ones are an angry customer, a refund you can't give, and a supervisor who isn't free. We practise those, live, with someone pushing back.

The cost
Where calls go wrong
- 01An agent who apologises five times and still sounds scripted
- 02Bad news delivered so softly the customer doesn't hear it
- 03A customer who interrupts and the agent loses the thread
- 04Escalations that happen because nobody said “here is what I can do”
- 05Long silences while the agent looks for the answer
- 06Calls that end with the problem solved and the customer still angry
Someone joins. They know the work. Then a client pushes back on a call and they freeze. It is not a knowledge gap. They have just never practised that moment.

The scorecard
You get a score, not a feeling.
Everyone is scored on the same six things, at the start and again at the end. Each person is compared to their own first score, not to each other.
01 STRUCTURE
Leads with the answer, then supports it
02 CLARITY
Plain words, short sentences, no unexplained jargon
03 PACE AND PAUSES
Varies pace deliberately, uses silence before the point
04 LISTENING
Confirms understanding first, then answers precisely
05 PRESENCE
Steady and warm, does not hedge, sounds like they mean it
06 HANDLING PUSHBACK
Acknowledges, reframes, holds position without going brittle
