“You will find thousands of training, coaching and consulting companies in the United States and abroad, all claiming to improve results for call centers. But RCDA stands out in the crowd because of our unique methodology, which we call The Quality Conversation,” said Mr. Davis.

“Delivering far more than just training classes and practice sessions for your contact center, using the principles of The Quality Conversation, we get out on the floor with your people in real time and coach them one on one until we have achieved sustainable skill transfer. We study the behaviors of your reps and supervisors to uncover the strategies that will produce the highest return on investment,” he said. “Combining what we do with the offerings of TDS Global Solutions is a win-win for our clients.”
