#265 - Has contact centre technology actually improved? With Danny Wardell

Martin Teasdale is joined again by Danny Wardell of Alvaria for Part 2 of their conversation. 


Fresh from a great response to Episode 1, they dive deeper into the realities of contact centre life, from the agent experience to the evolution (or lack of it) of customer experience over the last 20 years. 


Danny shares candid takes on CCaaS, proactive outbound, AI, and why buying brand over capability has held the industry back.


A genuinely honest conversation from two people who've lived it from the agent's seat upwards.


Chapters:

0:20 – Being an Agent

3:59 – Has the Job Got Harder?

8:22 – Has Customer Experience Improved?

16:32 – Proactive Outbound

19:22 – The BA Story

28:20 – Service vs. Cost

29:43 – AI & The Future of Contact Centers

41:23 – Wrapping Up
