Adapting Agent Performance to Match a New Client’s Brand Voice

Adapting Agent Performance to Match a New Client’s Brand Voice
The Challenge:
A leading BPO brought CK Digital in to support a team of experienced agents who were suddenly underperforming. These agents had consistently exceeded KPIs on a previous high-volume tech support client, but after transitioning to a new upscale department store account, customer satisfaction scores dropped noticeably.
​
What We Found:
The agents weren’t struggling with knowledge or systems. They were struggling with tone, empathy, and the shift from solving technical problems to representing a luxury lifestyle brand.
They were still responding like tech troubleshooters—fast, direct, and task-focused. But the new client expected a conversational, brand-forward experience that aligned with high-end customer expectations. The gap wasn’t in ability. It was in alignment.
​
What We Did:
CK Digital led a rapid discovery and analysis effort, including side-by-side observation, call reviews, and calibration with both BPO leadership and the client’s brand team.
We delivered:
​
-
A custom behavior-based performance map aligned with the client’s tone and service standards
-
A brand voice immersion session for frontline agents
-
Scenario-based roleplay modules to help agents shift style and pacing
-
A coaching toolkit for team leads to reinforce changes in real time
-
Updates to QA rubrics that reflected both task accuracy and emotional connection
The Outcome:
Within 60 days, CSAT scores rose by 18%, call escalations dropped by 27%, and agent confidence improved across the team. The client renewed the contract and expanded headcount on the account.
