Why I Have Written This BookA few years back, during a discussion on the inauguration of a call centre, little did people realize that this so-called 'Silly' telephonic industry would one day become the backbone of our economy.
In life, most of us tend to drift, moving from one location to another, without actually looking back and seeing why we did so. We might drift for a number of reasons, some of which could well be a search for better opportunities or failure to cope with increasing work pressure, or some personal problem, or simply the inability to take the right decision. This is what I refer to as folding our hands in front, like a born loser and allowing Fate to govern our lives. In this long journey of life, some succeed while some lose, blaming it all on Fate, but most of us spend our lifetime cribbing and crying for things we have craved for but failed to achieve. Unfortunately, none of us try to sit back and figure out the actual reasons behind our so-called failures.

But what is written there can well be compared to gold dust the gold has yet to be discovered.
Caution Though this book is a racy reader, where the reader simply flips through the pages in haste, sometimes smiling, sometimes brooding, while awaiting the climax with anticipation, it however, demands complete attention from its reader. It should be read with the intent of grasping its contents and enhancing the skills, which guarantee a lifetime of success. if I were in your place, I would read the first chapter, absorb its contents and then move on to the next level.
To make the text lucid, I have simplified the language and given examples from realistic situations arising out of natural circumstances that would prove beneficial for both you as well as your superior.
The concepts in this book are a recollection of my personal experiences amassed while working for different call centres in a period spanning a little over three years and I would appreciate if these chapters are well used as an exercise worksheet. Jot down the points you consider important and make liberal use of your pencil or pen to highlight the vital paragraphs.
As you advance through the chapters, seek a second opinion. Discuss all you have learnt in the first chapter with your colleague or superior. If you feel hesitant in discussing the matter with him or her, take it up with your spouse or close friend and learn what they have to say about it. In my opinion, sharing your concerns with a close one not only helps you overcome your weaknesses but also enables you to further develop your self-esteem.
Chalk Out Your Own Strategy Like it or not, this book it meant for those who have a will to succeed and not for those who love whiling away their time. The main purpose of this book is to enable you to develop a strategy for yourself; a plan of action which would help you analyse the following:
Why do you wish to join a call centre" What according to you are the tools required for success? What time-frame would you give for climbing each rung to success?
Do not forget to maintain a scrapbook handy to jot down your action plan. Divide your page into three parts - your aims, the time-frame required and finally your achievements in the stipulated time-period.
Believe me, by the time you finish reading my book, not only would you get a better idea of this booming industry but your personal notes would become the building blocks on which would rest the tower of your success.
Many of the problems enumerated in the following chapters have been faced by me while working as an agent or looking for a job in the right call centre. The solutions offered would help you avoid repeating such silly mistakes and guarantee a lifetime of success in the shortest possible time-span.
