Ik solliciteerde voor het eerst bij een callcenter en wist niet wat me te wachten stond. De uitleg over klantgesprekken en de jargon uit de BPO-sector gaf me precies de zelfverzekerdheid die ik nodig had. Bij mijn sollicitatie merkte de recruiter meteen dat ik voorbereid was, en ik ben aangenomen.

Trabajo en un call center desde hace dos años y sentía que estaba estancado, sin saber cómo crecer. Este curso me dio mucho más que técnica: entendí cómo manejar a clientes molestos sin perder la calma y cómo modular mi voz para sonar más empático. La parte sobre comunicación profesional y conocimiento del sector me sirvió para hablar con propiedad en mi evaluación de desempeño. Aprendí también sobre los procesos de BPO que antes ni conocía. Gracias a eso me ascendieron a un puesto de calidad. Lo recomiendo a cualquiera que quiera entrar o avanzar en este rubro.
