Scripting Interactions Only Gets You So Far

Scripting interactions is the quickest way to make sure everyone on a team gets on the same page about how to deal with common issues. That’s why large tech companies like Microsoft use scripts to standardize the support they offer customers, and non-profit organizations use scripts to train fundraising phone bankers.

From Jobs to Dreams

  August 28 marked the 52nd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
