Blended is a staffing plan · Worked example
Staff a blend
Name who may take inbound during a spike and who stays on the dialer.
- A shared pod
- A dedicated predictive pod
- The reason they are split
Predictive people are not also the inbound overflow.
- What is blended? Agents moving across inbound and outbound.
- Is it a campaign type? Not in the planning list.
- Predictive plus shared agents? Availability gets stolen.
- How do you build it? Skills and running campaigns.
