CSRs need robust and flexible training programs to know how to handle calls accurately, efficiently, and with the right attitudes. Our training programs ensure that customer service representatives understand the key issues and concerns of the citizens contacting them so they can respond to questions with accurate and timely information.

We work closely with our clients, using existing data, to design learning solutions, create enterprise-wide training programs, and develop and integrate training aides and learning performance management tools to maximize on-the-job performance of your workforce.</OtherInformation></Objective><Objective><Name>Content Development</Name><Description>Develop content</Description><Identifier>_c5d5cdea-d2af-11e6-8e48-3c000fbcdb3b</Identifier><SequenceIndicator>2</SequenceIndicator><Stakeholder><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation/></Objective><Objective><Name>Contact Center Optimization</Name><Description>Optimize contact center operations</Description><Identifier>_c5d5d2a4-d2af-11e6-8e48-3c000fbcdb3b</Identifier><SequenceIndicator>3</SequenceIndicator><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Contact Centers</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation>Even in our digital, connected-anywhere world, the contact center is often a government agency’s primary (and possibly only) face to its constituents. The importance of its role in providing excellent customer service to the citizens is undeniable. However, in our multichannel world, this role becomes increasingly complex as consumers become more sophisticated in the way they interact with the contact center.

Today’s citizens have come to expect highly personalized and efficient interaction with service representatives, from the bank to the site they buy shoes from. HighPoint specializes in providing high-quality solutions that respond to these citizen demands via phone calls, email interactions, web chat, text and social media.

From infrastructure to operations, HighPoint oversees and optimizes every aspect of government call centers and help desks to ensure that they deliver the ideal customer experience. To be successful, call centers must have clear alignment between the customer service strategy and the broader agency strategy. With that alignment, the right technology solutions can be implemented to support this mission.  HighPoint clients benefit from detailed and flexible operating models that fit the needs of their constituents and staff, balancing cost with high-quality customer experience.</OtherInformation></Objective><Objective><Name>Quality Assurance</Name><Description>Provide quality assurance services </Description><Identifier>_c5d5d3b2-d2af-11e6-8e48-3c000fbcdb3b</Identifier><SequenceIndicator>4</SequenceIndicator><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name/><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation>One of the great challenges for call centers today is overcoming initial customer apprehension. The call center and help desk experience is often frustrating and time consuming, so customers hesitate to contact call centers for help. At HighPoint, we improve the customer experience not only with superior training but also with quality assurance processes that help customer service representatives continuously improve their interactions to answer calls more efficiently and effectively, ultimately resulting in improved customer satisfaction. We optimize every aspect of the Customer Service Representative’s interaction with their constituents to ensure that they are able to provide citizen services to highest standards.

We verify success through stringent, innovative quality assurance services that study outcomes and behaviors. We capture 100% of calls and electronic contacts and use sophisticated contact monitoring and analytical tools to scrutinize interactions between agents and customers. For example, our speech-to-text analytics can track occurrences of words and topics to identify trends. Other contractors even use our insights to coach and train their representatives.</OtherInformation></Objective><Objective><Name>Project Management</Name><Description>Provide project management services</Description><Identifier>_c5d5d484-d2af-11e6-8e48-3c000fbcdb3b</Identifier><SequenceIndicator>5</SequenceIndicator><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Project Managers</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Portfolio Managers</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Performance Managers</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><OtherInformation>Strategic Project, Portfolio, and Performance Management --
