Please accept these comments as to support you rather than dampen your spirits. We have for the last 12 months researched the impact of UK regional accents on the quality of communication with Indian based centres. The results point clearly to the fact that pronunciation by Indian agents can confuse UK based customers and UK regional accents – Yorkshire and North East can also confuse agents. Whilst your industry does appear to be getting to grips with cultural differences, without correct, clear communication it risks losing customer loyalty (UK) and credibility. Please ensure that the people you trust (and pay) to teach accents are in fact experts in their field. With best wishes. Scott

22nd July 2003 at 09:16 #12492Scott WatsonGuestRe accent and voice training, dependant on your specific outcomes, some tools from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can be extermely powerful – after all, if you wish to change your accent, voice or personal impact, you need to change your thinking patterns that lead to your current accent or impact. We have and continue to use lots of NLP tools in our call centre training events – perhaps it could be worthwhile searching NLP trainers in your country with specialist knowledge of call centres and telephone based communication.
31st July 2003 at 16:00 #12493aman sharmaGuestAs rightly said by scott, NLP is a very effective tool when we we talk of learning which involves a transformation process just accent tuning wherein you have to work to change your mental conditioning. Quite a few people have expertise in nlp in india like upkar chhibber and internationally richard bandler, you can find no of books written on the subject. likewise there are many professionals,… we have couple of NLP experts here in UK.. but for india you need to make an effort.
What I can conclude is hunting a NLP trainers is worth if one is serious in accent training etc specifically for indian call centers..
Wish you best of luck
1st August 2003 at 20:13 #12494Scott WatsonGuestIf you do choose to find an NLP specialist, you should ensure that they are accredited directly either by Richard Bandler or John Grinder (co-founders). As with many initiatives, there is a tendency to jump on the band wagon and certify friends and business associates as a means to win business – rather than through any honest commitment to quality. John Grinder has a base in Australia and I’m certain you can find him through Google search engine. Good luck
