“Human agents are the new CX differentiator.” Nah, humans have ALWAYS been the key. In a world where AI self-service experiences are getting worse before they get better, the organizations keeping humans in high-judgment roles are going to pull ahead on customer retention. Clock it.

Three things to retire from your contact center QA rubric: ❌AHT (rewards throughput, not resolution) ❌Deflection rate (rewards customer avoidance) ❌Script adherence (punishes creativity) agree? disagree?

AHT (average handle time) was built for the contact center of 2015. It's now actively preventing the contact center of 2030. I won't elaborate further.

ok first, here's 3 QA metrics built for YESTERYEAR AHT: rewards throughput, punishes the long retention save Deflection Rate: rewards keeping customers away from agents Script Adherence: punishes the creative save If your rubric is built on these, you're grading agents for work *AI* has fundamentally changed!

Basically, when agents don't spend half their shift copying data between six tabs, they have bandwidth left for the *craft* of the job: for listening deeply, for judging well, for trying the non-obvious move on a difficult case.

so here's a proposition, 3 replacement metrics for the AI era: Craft Score (judgment under pressure) Emotional Temperature Delta (where the customer ends, not just where they started) Reclaimed Time Allocation (what your agents do with AI-saved time) Full breakdown on our LinkedIn long-form: linkedin.com/pulse/metrics-c…

A supervisor told us about one of his best agents last quarter. She had spent 25 minutes on a healthcare retention save. Customer was crying-grateful by the end but her AHT got WRECKED. He had to coach her DOWN in a 1:1. (a thread on why the QA rubric quietly punishing customer service agents for their best work🪡)

Customer service agents aren't worried about AI replacing them. They're worried about AI making their jobs worse while leadership claims it's getting better. 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

65% of customers tell agents they're frustrated about repeating info they already gave to the bot. Which means on two-thirds of escalated calls, the AI didn't just fail, it made the human interaction HARDER. That's worse than no automation imo.

55% of contact center AI investments are rated low-maturity. Translation: most "AI strategies" right now are chatbots, routing, and basic analytics stacked in a trench coat.

Serious question for CX leaders: what percentage of your AI spend is on tools your agents actually trust? Not "use." Trust.

The bolt-on era of contact center AI is over. You can't patch a 20-year-old stack with a chatbot and call it transformation. 🥀

There’s a difference between call deflection and issue resolution. Legacy self-service optimized for the first: keep customers away from agents, measure success by transfer rate reduction. Modern virtual agents optimize for the second: actually resolve the issue, measure success by customer outcome. The metrics look similar on a dashboard but the customer experience is completely different.

The hybrid AI conversation in contact centers in a nutshell: 🌰 It's is less about technology than risk tolerance. Deterministic AI for compliance-sensitive, predictable flows. Generative AI for open-ended, natural conversations. ORGS NEED BOTH. Not all of them know that they can have both.

$3.7 trillion in global revenue is at risk from poor customer experiences annually. That number traces back to the moment a customer hits a bot that can’t help them and decides it’s not worth trying again.
15
The problem isn’t that AI is bad. It’s that most contact center AI was deliberately designed to block customers from reaching humans, not to help them.
19
71% of customers expect personalization and 76% get frustrated when they don’t get it. While it's true self-service bots know the customer’s name at authentication... let's all admit that’s not personalization,,, that’s a greeting?? The gap is EVERYTHING in between.
