Efficiency on the Phone

Suggested Strategy: The employee may struggle with the skills needed

to efficiently answer client questions or find solutions quickly. Focus on

situational skill.

Suggested Questions:

→ Rating Question: When speaking with clients on the phone, on a scale

of 1 to 6, with 6 being confident in every conversation with every client

and every question and 1 being you struggle to find confidence when on

the phone, where would you rate yourself and why? What actions can

we take together to help you reach a 6?

→ Third-Party Question: If a peer were to observe you on a call with a

client and then describe your phone call, what do you think they might

say regarding your ability to efficiently execute the call?

Suggested Activities:

→ Role Play: Practice as a difficult client with lots of questions on the

phone with the employee. How does the employee handle tough

questions or tasks?

→ Brainstorming: Create a list together of the employee’s strengths

when they are on the phone with members, then have the employee

give places where they think there may be room for improvement.
