As a former team manager for Stream and Convergys and an CSA for Teleperformance on various contracts, I know many of the tricks that CSA's pull, i.e. leaving the customer on hold and going for a coffee break, getting the CSA next to them to take the call under the guise that they are the manager, straight out lying that they will take care of the issue immediately, disconnecting the call, etc. I used to have to monitor calls all day and live audit calls with other managers once a week. Call Avoidance was immediate termination. Have the standards lowered for CSAs or is no one monitoring communications?
