Listen beyond the sample

Four business questions to explore with speech analytics.

Callifony perspectives

Why are customers contacting us?

Review recurring themes in conversations to identify product questions, service friction and opportunities for clearer communication.

How does the conversation feel?

Use sentiment as a starting point for review, then read or listen to the conversation in context. AI-inferred sentiment should support human judgement.

What deserves focused review?

Look for conversations that warrant closer attention. Agree review criteria with the team, and distinguish an automated flag from a confirmed issue.

What should coaching focus on?

Choose a specific moment or behavior, discuss the context with the agent and agree a practical next step. Review progress consistently.

Turn the review into a practical action plan.

Speech analytics is most useful when a team knows what it wants to investigate. Keep the question, conversation set and review process clear.

01

Define the review question

Choose a specific customer or service issue. For example, investigate why a particular question keeps coming up or which explanation is unclear. Avoid treating a broad sentiment label as an answer on its own.

02

Choose the conversation set

Agree the time period, channel and type of interaction to review. Keep the scope consistent when comparing observations. A small, well-defined review is easier to discuss than an unexplained collection of recordings.

03

Check the context

Read the transcript and summary together, and return to the recording when the meaning is unclear. Names, accents and mixed-language conversations can require closer review. Keep human judgement in the loop.

04

Make coaching specific

Choose an observable behavior or explanation, discuss it with the agent and agree a practical next step. Share relevant themes with the team that can act on them, rather than circulating individual scores without context.
