In customer service, good training isn't a luxury; it's a must-have. But many Learning Management System (LMS) platforms are stuck with outdated training methods that lead to high turnover rates and less productivity.

The stats tell a troubling story: in 2021, the customer support industry saw a big 42% attrition rate, with the cost of replacing just one agent falling between $10,000 to $20,000.

For a call center with only 100 agents, this means an annual financial hit of $800,000 to $1.8 million. This big issue seriously hurts how well operations run and the quality of customer interactions.

The main problem comes from ineffective onboarding and training methods used in many LMS platforms. Old-school training approaches like text-based learning and quizzes don't prepare agents well for the real, often challenging, customer interactions they face. These methods miss out on providing an interactive and realistic training environment that's key for agents to sharpen their problem-solving skills and gain confidence.

What happens next? A workforce that's not ready for the demands of their jobs, leading to more frustration, less job satisfaction, and eventually, a high turnover rate.

Here's where Smart Role steps in: a fresh solution aimed at changing the outdated training routines that have troubled the LMS industry for so long.
