When you can't answer a call immediately, what are you offering your callers? 🎵Are they waiting on hold? If yes, how many of those calls are hanging up without talking to an agent? 📞 Are you redirecting the call to voicemail? If yes, did you know that less than 30% of these calls will leave a voicemail?

Main achievements - Sschool Success has become the largest tutoring company in Quebec and among the 5 largest in Canada. - Built a team of more than 30 full-time employees with a network of more than 1000 part-time tutors throughout Quebec - Over 30,000 students have benefited from our services. - 14 consecutive years of revenue growth, including 13 years of over 10% growth - School Success is the first private high school to obtain a online education permit from the Ministry of Education. My main learnings - The importance of defining corporate values to select team members and guide decision making. - It can be tempting to want to diversify one's activities in order to seize all business opportunities. In my opinion, it is important to "focus" and become the best in one line of business before considering exploring others. - A good leader is a person who does what he says and who sees himself not as a boss, but as a coach to his team. - Communication, communication, communication.... Be available to your team at all times and communicate your expectations clearly.
