Domestic and General are the UK’s leading specialist warranty provider for over 100 years. Their contact centre serves 8 million customers, taking 9 million calls per year and authorising 2.4 million repairs.

D&G’s Planning and Real-Time teams wanted automation and support for their processes and systems:
 - They were swamped in admin work
 - Disparate data sources were creating internal stakeholder conflict
 - Duplication of work was creating inefficiency, confusion and complexity
 - Manual processes were time consuming and complex resulting in sub-optimal performance, inefficiency and demotivated staff

Mike Blewitt, Head of Planning led the project and selected QStory as the solution. He joins us along with Ben Harknett, CRO and Tony D'Cruze, Customer Success Manager at QStory to discuss how they implemented the software and achieved some amazing results for the team with a 2X ROI by Q3.
 - 400 hours per month of threat management used which has improved customer service by reducing wait time for customers
 - 3,300 hours per month of opportunity management ensuring agents are receiving their development training
 - Automated 575 hours per month of manual work

No one said this would be easy, but it is definitely possible

During challenging times, it is very easy to feel the pressure to ‘make other people feel better’. Unfortunately for all of us we can only control what we feel, not how anyone else feels. 

During this webinar we will explore how to challenge and support your team to:
 - Take responsibility to get their own needs met by raising awareness 
 - Take action to get their needs met to enable self-motivation 
 - Recognise how their needs impact their resilience levels 

Join us for this exciting session featuring Lou Banks, Director and Founder of Rising Vibe. Lou wants you to feel better to do better in business. She’s passionate about helping you get to grips with emotion, tackle thoughts and address feelings. Because when this happens it can have a huge impact on business performance.

 - The real, key lessons from 2020 and how can we use this learning to build momentum for 2021 and beyond
 - What new skills are needed to ensure operational management practices engage our employees and empower our leaders
