How do you establish your voice when working with cross functional teams? For some of you, this idea is completely daunting. Why? Because cross functional teams have lots of “those” people on them. You know. Professionals from the “other side” of your organization: the people whose professional behavior intimidates you the most. First, because you do not understand the professional terminology which dominates the voice they collectively carry into cross functional conversations.

When PSECU, Pennsylvania’s largest credit union, implemented Glia’s chat functionality back in 2016, they saw a large increase in chat volumes and knew they needed to find a way to continue to provide the same level of excellent service for their members. They quickly realized that the best way to handle the increase in engagements was by offering their members self service options for simple questions which freed up their agents to handle the more complex inquiries.
