Rebuilding the Floor: What Remote Contact Centers Are Still Missing

Briefing Notes

Six years ago the industry went home in two weeks. Most contact centers kept the org chart and lost the floor: the supervisor who spots a bad call, the two-minute coaching fix, the new hire learning next to someone good. Most never rebuilt it.

In this episode of the CX Gurus Podcast, host Darren Prine (CRO & Co-Founder, Cloud Tech Gurus) talks with Sameer Maini, CEO and Founder of CollaborationRoom.AI, who spent 20 years running contact center and BPO operations before building software for them.

In this episode

  • What contact centers actually glued together in March 2020
  • What they lost when they left the building, and what it shows up as in the numbers
  • Why many remote centers are “surviving, not thriving”
  • A before-and-after customer story: 33% more calls taken and 27% more revenue in 90 days (client-reported)
  • What a great remote contact center looks like in 2026
  • The talent a remote center can hire that a building never could
