BPA notes that research supports the belief that there is a direct correlation between the frequency of coaching and feedback and the performance of agents. Evidence is also provided throughout the industry that suggests that the more objective the evaluation and feedback, the better the results received.

The system also offers the ability to investigate performance and produce data through a variety of criteria including individual agent, team, complete center, skillset, date, shift, recruitment group, gender or marking coach.
It has been proven within the industry that the more the call center invests in the coaching of its agents, the better service they will be able to provide to customers, and the more sales the company will be able to generate.
