Juggling multiple systems and logins can have an impact on your agents and their efficiency.
The issue with multiple systems and sources of truth is that they compound the complexity of the agent’s job.
This allows for more errors, as well as longer onboarding and a tedious training process as your agents have more information to memorize and execute correctly.
On average, with having to login in and search multiple systems, agents wind up costing you as the business owner an extra 15% to 30% in labor.
One of the reasons for the extra labor comes from agents making mistakes.
For example, if an agent must cross-reference data between platforms and makes the mistake of bringing up an incorrect or duplicate record, they run the risk of creating orphaned or inaccurate data in one or many of the systems.
We don’t need to talk about how detrimental this could be to your reporting figures, as well as the time and resources that would then have to go into fixing the incorrect data and accounts.
