Redefining what’s possible
The influence of the contact centre and quality functions has grown over the years, and now covers all aspects of the business from Sales, Marketing, Product Design, Legal and Compliance to the Customer Facing Operations.
We call this the ‘QA Sphere of Influence, and the BPA Approach ensures organisations can fully capitalise on this key resource to help drive quality enabled business transformation.
The BPA Quality approach is proven to deliver real competitive advantage and outstanding results time and time again for our clients and their customer-facing teams.

The Human Element
Every conversation is an opportunity to make a real connection, to build the human element. As humans, we have the ability to be creative, intuitive, show real empathy, feeling and understanding; to connect on a human level.
The human element in interactions provides great opportunities to:
- Build and reinforce your brand
- Build trust, credibility, and highlight competence
- Personalise the interaction and foster mirrored relationships
- Understand the reason for the interaction
- Identify all elements of the contact
- Build a relationship, show empathy, ownership and understanding; ensure the Customer feels like an individual, not a number
- Paint a picture to show the Customer you are engaged
- Offer flexible solutions
- Negotiate suitable solutions, creating win/win situations
- Build loyalty, retention, sales opportunities, advocacy, and increase first call resolution
