Over 160 Common Customer Experience (CX) & Call Centre terms and abbreviations!
The Call Centre Glossary/Customer Experience glossary/ CX Glossary has over 160 common terms, acronyms and jargon used in the contact centre industry, customer service and customer experience (CX) industry.
And if there is an industry that loves to invent acronyms, abbreviations and confusing terms it’s certainly the contact centre industry and more recently, the rapidly growing customer experience industry.
It seems like every week there is a new abbreviation that emerges and on top of this, because we are a global industry, there are lots of local variations which can further add to the confusion.
Of course, with all these different abbreviations and terms it can be very easy to get confused whether you are a new call centre agent just starting in the industry, or even a seasoned veteran who has a background in call centres but is new to the customer experience industry.
Thankfully we’ve pulled all the jargon and abbreviations you are likely to encounter when talking to someone about call centres, customer service, customer experience, telemarketing and so on into the one location so you’ll never be left wondering again what anything means!
