Why Emotional Intelligence Matters in CRM

Agents who know their triggers pause before reacting, choose clearer language, and ask better questions. Self-awareness reduces defensive tones during stressful chats and opens space for genuinely helpful solutions. Tell us which moments test your patience most and why.

Active Listening as a Competitive Advantage

A two-second pause invites customers to share what really matters. Paraphrasing confirms it. Try: “What I’m hearing is that the missed delivery affected your event timeline.” Practice this daily and share your favorite empathy phrases with our community.
