About Jenny and Leslie
#FreeToHelp is a project by Jenny Dempsey and Leslie O'Flahavan, two customer service experts who believe that great service can only exist when frontline agents are #FreeToHelp their customers. We believe most frontline agents are extraordinarily willing to help, but they’re often prevented from giving great service by rigid policies, stern managers, bad software, and ridiculous expectations. We are on a mission to figure out how customer care organizations can stop getting in the way of frontline agents and trust them enough so they’re truly #FreeToHelp.
