In a dynamic market where customer behavior and expectations continually evolve, it’s critical to continually adapt and innovate to meet these expectations. A strategic way to achieve this goal is by adopting GenAI in customer care operations processes. Companies can adopt GenAI for faster and more efficient training and retraining of their call agents.

How GenAI Facilitates Faster and Efficient Call Agent Training
Leveraging GenAI to accelerate the training process for call agents is a compelling but untapped use case of GenAI among asset-intensive companies.
Traditional training programs can be time-consuming and costly. They often require many months for new agents to reach optimal performance levels. GenAI, however, can revolutionize agent onboarding and the entire training process by providing a more efficient and effective training method.
When a call center is onboarding new agents, it typically involves weeks of classroom-style training sessions, followed by supervised practical experiences. GenAI can significantly shorten this training timeline by simulating a wide range of customer interactions, allowing the agents to practice, learn, and grow in a controlled environment. These simulations are not just basic role-plays but dynamic, context-aware scenarios reflecting real-world customer issues and queries.
Let’s consider this example.
A manufacturer implementing GenAI in their call center training program can create a GenAI-powered virtual training assistant. This assistant can engage with new call agents in interactive training sessions, presenting them with complex, real-life scenarios they’re likely to encounter. For example, what if a manufacturer is out of a specific product? In the past, agents had to know the manufacturer’s catalog and find specific product recommendations to replace the out-of-stock item. However, with AI-powered dashboards, the AI can provide related product suggestions quickly and easily. This “learning on the job” helps agents improve their skills quickly while also providing exceptional service and potentially boosting sales by offering helpful recommendations.
AI can provide instant training feedback, highlight areas for improvement, and track trainees’ progress. This personalized approach ensures that agents are trained faster and better prepared to handle diverse customer issues confidently.
Additionally, GenAI can analyze past customer interactions to identify common pain points, FAQs, and unique cases. This data-driven approach helps the training program to focus on the most relevant topics, ensuring that agents cover every possible customer service scenario.
Adopting GenAI in call agent training and retraining results in highly skilled agents who can deliver exceptional customer service, leading to higher CSAT, loyalty, and referrals.
