TMC and LiveOps Present a Webinar on Cloud and Social Media

Norwalk, CT (December 8, 2011) - TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, and LiveOps (News - Alert) announced today a complimentary Webinar, “Speaking from Experience: Cloud and Social Media,” live on Monday, Dec. 12, 2011 at 1:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST.

The biggest challenges contact center decision makers are grappling with today are migrating to the cloud and what to do about social media. These decisions directly affect the contact center agents. Some say that while the cloud allows agents to work from anywhere this can be a challenge for operations and productivity -- the reality is home-based agents are typically more productive. Some say incorporating social media gives agents too much freedom -- the reality is social media enables agents to be part of a culture while developing social media skills for interacting with customers. This webinar is designed for decision makers looking to leapfrog the competition and take advantage of the cloud as well as understand how to begin incorporating social media. During this Webinar, attendees will learn:

• Ease of establishing a home-based agent culture using social media
• How agents can develop and hone their social media skills within their own community to prepare them for more successful multichannel customer interactions
• How gamification and social media drive agent performance

This Webinar is recommended for:

• Managers, VPs, directors and above responsible for delivering quality customer service results
• Anyone involved in the decision to migrate all or part of the contact center to the cloud
• Anyone involved in the decision to incorporate social media channels for communicating to customers

Speakers include:

Melissa Stevenson, Research Analyst, Worldwide Contact Center Service, IDC (News - Alert)

Tim Whipple, Vice President of Operations for Home-based Agents, LiveOps

Erik K. Linask, Group Editorial Director, TMCnet
