What is contact center or call center sentiment analysis?

Contact center sentiment analysis is essentially a feature that has AI to analyze phone calls and customer conversations for words that suggest positive or negative sentiment in order to give supervisors a snapshot of how calls with customers or prospects are going—in real-time.

Often, this feature is powered by AI (as is the case with Dialpad, which has built its own proprietary artificial intelligence called Dialpad Ai) and you should be able to see it on a dashboard that displays sentiment across all live calls.

What are the benefits?

Live sentiment analysis is useful because it allows sales and support team managers to know exactly where their attention is needed in just a few seconds:

Often, supervisors oversee teams of tens or even hundreds of agents. With so many conversations happening simultaneously, how can they proactively know where their attention is needed or if an agent needs help?

Being able to view all the live calls, with an indicator of sentiment, lets them do exactly that. On the flip side, this also makes things a little easier for agents, who don't have to worry about manually messaging their supervisor for help because they know that the call sentiment will be visible already.

Features designed to make supervisors' and agents' lives easier

Manual call monitoring and running through QA checklists can be time-consuming and tedious, so how can supervisors and managers support agents more effectively? Dialpad's contact center product comes with other features to help you do exactly that.

Real-time Assists

Dialpad Ai is the backbone of another useful feature that helps supervisors train and coach agents—at scale. Getting tricky questions from customers? Create Real-time Assist (RTA) cards with notes about those topics, and set them to trigger automatically when those keywords or phrases are spoken.

Live transcripts

Did you know that Dialpad Ai can transcribe calls in real time too? This way, if a supervisor sees a call with negative sentiment, they can open up the transcript (which gets updated live as the conversation is happening) to get more context before deciding whether or not they need to jump in.
