Call center certification is an important element for any customer service support center focused on achieving optimal customer satisfaction. By making training and certification a priority for all call center managers and even key agents, the organization demonstrates dedication to excellence and optimizing the customer experience.

To expand on this point, BenchmarkPortal (News - Alert) is offering the CallTalk Online Radio show next week. Set to take place on Wednesday, November 16^th @ 1:00 PM PT/ 4:00 PM ET. The show’s topic will be VUI and the Latino Caller – Continuously Emerging Caller Base of Spanish Speaking Clients.

The Spanish-language market is rapidly expanding, demanding call center certification among top performers to properly cater to this base.
