Coach mode

Supervisors can talk to agents while they are on a call, without the customer hearing what the supervisor is saying. This enables the supervisor to provide guidance and assistance to the agent on the call.

Supervisors can join an active call in Coach mode directly, or they can escalate to Coach mode from Silent Monitor mode if they are already monitoring an active call.

Only one supervisor can coach an agent at a time.

The following procedure takes place in an open Agent State by Position or Agent State by Time monitor.

To coach an agent on an active call
  1. In the Agent monitor, select an agent.
  2. In the Agent Control tab, click Coach.
  3. When your phone rings, answer the call to join the call and begin coaching the agent.

    Ignite displays an interaction Received toaster to indicate the incoming call. The Preview pane displays call information for the monitored call.
