Conversation Excellence Lab™

1. We’re the number one research team in the contact center space. No other team matches our depth of information. The sheer amount of data we collect, combined with our in-house PhD power and key relationships with academic institutions, allows us to deliver data-backed, validated research to our audience.

2. All our reports are based on original research led by our team and data sourced from industry surveys, academic partnerships, and insights derived from Balto’s industry-leading platform, which has reached a milestone of 200M+ calls to date.

3. Our research focuses on a wide range of topics, including language, conversations, negotiation, and other interpersonal processes observed in customer/company communication channels.

4. Our work has been cited by several industry publications and experts, including Customer Contact Central, No Jitter, Myra Golden, Shep Hyken, and more.
