Most contact centers still believe scoring more calls means better QA.

It doesn’t.

In this episode, we start with the Law of Large Numbers and break down why scoring 100% of calls doesn’t give you better insight. It just gives you more work. We talk about where the push for full coverage really comes from. Fear. Compliance pressure. Old spreadsheet thinking. And why that mindset quietly hurts coaching, accuracy, and confidence.

We also cover what the data actually shows, how statistical sampling works in the real world, where AI helps and where it doesn’t, and what QA should really be optimizing for.

If your QA program feels busy but not effective, this episode will make you rethink how many calls you really need to score.

This episode is my AI Christmas wish list for CCaaS.

Not toys.

Not buzzwords.

The real AI tools contact centers should already have but don’t. Everyone is focused on making AI talk to customers.

That’s missing the point.

AI in CX isn’t supposed to just talk. It’s supposed to run the contact center.

I break down the biggest opportunities CCaaS platforms are skipping, from AI flow builders you can prompt in plain English, to real-time workforce orchestration, predictive routing that replaces “next available agent,” dashboards built instantly by prompt, in-call coaching that actually helps agents in the moment, and real-time billing with zero surprises.

This is a wish list, but it’s not fantasy.

This is practical, achievable AI that would make life easier for the people running the floor every day. If you’re tired of AI demos that look good but don’t change operations, this episode is for you.

All I want for Christmas is CCaaS AI that actually works.
