TargetQM was developed to address the lack of statistical
relevance in
typical quality monitoring processes. For example, if a call
center seeks to improve
agent performance in cross-selling, supervisors
looking for calls that represent either good behaviors
or missed opportunities
are unlikely to find them in a random sample.
TargetQM solves the
problem of statistically insignificant quality samples
by identifying calls with relevant content
in a highly cost effective manner. (Clients can also use their own QA staff if they prefer. Hallmark
Insights employs a team of four
individuals who work each year to find the right combination of merchants
that
meet the needs of the multi-location companies using their online incentive
solution.
How an Employee Is Rewarded:
The employee is rewarded with a specially designed and branded
, Premiere
Choice(R) Award delivered via e-mail, in the mail or presented directly from
their supervisor
. This is what Hallmark is all about -- giving the
right gift that engages employees and motivates
customers. Ayres, Lord + Taylor, Lowe's(R),
