Results That Speak for Themselves
We can tell you all about the advantages of working with Response Design, but it's even better if you hear it directly from our clients:
"Response Design should change their name to Rapid Response Design. Our customer care network, handling over 2 million calls annually, was outsourced over one year ago and the implementation did not go as smoothly as planned. The key ingredient in the turn around was Response Design shifting gears from a transactional model to a customer problem solving (high knowledge) model. I have been in roles with call centers as part of my organization for nearly 15 years. This was the fastest, most effective change program I have ever witnessed. From diagnosis to stabilization in less than 4 months. Business processes, metrics, soft skills, and technology implementation - unbelievable!!"

"The consultants at Response Design did a great job, working closely with us to learn about the many facets of our organization and make educated recommendations for how we could maximize our efficiency."

"Working with Response Design has been both challenging and rewarding -- for us, our client and, most importantly, the end customer. While Response Design is very skilled at defining and monitoring the detailed tasks required for completing aggressive implementation efforts and ensuring high quality ongoing operations, it is their ability to step back and see the big picture that so impressed us. They approached each hurdle as an opportunity to arrive at a consensus solution that yielded the results that were in everyone's best interest, and never, ever took their eyes off the ball."

"A key to any successful call center project is selecting the right partner who can add long-term value and a high ROI. Response Design is a premier visionary for call centers. I have worked in the insurance industry for 20 years and have had the privilege of partnering with Response Design during that time. They provided deep skills, experience, service passion, and in-depth market and business knowledge that enhance the customers' experience and bottom-line."

"Working with RDC® enabled our call center to get to the next level. RDC® gave us actionable items which had the buy in of our entire department, because RDC® worked with our department and explained what could be done to improve our call center and demonstrated the benefits of their suggestions. Working with RDC® was a great experience."

Senior Vice President
Merrill Lynch Credit Corporation
"Response Design provided truly outstanding service, guidance and technical support in helping strategically redesign the customer service offering for my previous employer. With their help we were able to immediately improve our current customer service operation while putting longer-term systems into place. The Response Design team was thorough and met all their timelines and budgets."

Senior Vice President, Operations
Arbonne International
"RDC® helped us gain the knowledge and confidence we needed to institute a quality program that we believe in, own, and can follow through on. We started with a basic call recording/evaluation system and a limited budget. First, Response Design guided us through a customer survey process that benchmarked our customers' expectations and, at the same time, illuminated the strengths and weakness of our call center services. The associates of RDC® then designed a quality program focused on these findings.
Amtrak had tried various quality initiatives in the past but had always gotten bogged down; especially as we tried to roll it to our multiple call centers. This effort was different. Response Design helped us document a detailed project plan. We knew every step each person had to take, the sequence of events, milestones, etc. RDC's plan was so flexible we could do several tasks in parallel or, when operations dictated, slow down the process to ensure it was done right.
RDC® associates spent a lot of time with us up front probing for insights to our past attempts, successes and failures. They customized Amtrak's solution to overcome any of our past difficulties while capitalizing on our team's strengths. We have been able to push the ownership of the quality program to the front line supervisors where we believe it belongs. These supervisors, all across the system, now have the same definition of quality and we are seeing our desired result - changing agent behaviors."
