Substantial Improvements in Agent Performance and Customer Insights Drive Expanded Partnership Between CallMiner and Sitel Group

Sitel Insights leverages CallMiner’s AI-fueled interaction analytics to provide customer experience analytics for major brands and Sitel’s workforce

BOSTON and MIAMI – October 1, 2019 – CallMiner, the leading provider of speech and customer engagement analytics solutions, announced today that it has expanded its partnership with Sitel Group, one of the largest customer experience (CX) management companies in the world, to further improve customer interactions with CallMiner’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based analytics platform, Eureka.

Sitel Insights, the group’s analytics and client insights experts, are leveraging Eureka Analyze and Coach to create insights from many of the 3.5 million interactions delivered each day by Sitel Group globally. Providing real-time analysis of this customer intelligence, Sitel Insights are harnessing this technology to improve customer experience, while both reducing costs and increasing efficiencies. In doing so, they have seen substantial improvements in the speed at which new agents are completing training and achieving competency; the efficacy of call flow management and customer question response; and the level of CX insights delivered to their clients which include some of the world’s best-known brands.

Both Sitel agents and indirectly agents operating as part of cross-enterprise deployments of Sitel Insights solutions are provided access to Eureka Coach, an application component of the CallMiner Eureka Platform, receiving near real-time performance feedback. This empowers customer-facing agents to self-instruct and see immediate results without requiring or waiting for coach or supervisor intervention. Agents using Eureka Coach are hitting training elements 25% faster than those who are not.

In addition to delivering better CX through improved agent performance, Sitel leverages insights to quickly identify customer sentiment in association with product or service disruptions to help their clients understand business impact and take appropriate action.

“There are insights waiting to be uncovered in every customer conversation. These can guide critical business decisions and a brand’s customer experience strategy. Loyalty may not begin in the contact center, but it can end there – and quite often, it does. Through leveraging customer data to derive these insights, Sitel is leading the industry in its ability to learn more about its customers than ever before and in turn, revolutionizing the customer experience,” said Jeff Gallino, founder and CTO, CallMiner.

The CallMiner solution is integrated as part of Sitel Insights, which specializes in data discovery, data mining and customer journey analytics. Sitel Insights mines data across multiple sources and channels to understand and improve the customer experience by applying diagnostic and predictive analytics to impact business outcomes.

“In today’s world, every contact a brand has with their customers counts,” said Cris Kuehl, VP, Customer Analytics & Client Insights, Sitel Insights. “Our partnership with CallMiner allows our people to get closer to the conversation brands are having with their customers to provide insights into how they are performing and what is driving customer loyalty. These insights enable more strategic decisions that positively impact the employee experience, thus, the customer experience. With our implementation of CallMiner’s solution, we have the right operational cadence to make a sustainable impact and improve our client KPIs – and we’ve been successful in doing so across many of our strategic clients and their outsourcing partners.”

According to Sitel, CallMiner has fielded 33 million of Sitel’s calls and has increased customer retention by 11% to date. The partnership also extends to two upcoming events. CallMiner’s upcoming annual speech analytics conference on Nov. 4 – 6, LISTEN, where Sitel is a platinum sponsor and will hold several presentations.
