... for entry-level jobs? [laughs]
6:24
Um, well, the senior, the- the- that- that seniorizing of those entry roles is, is very real.
6:32
I think we said that they're seven times more likely to demand senior skills like judgment and critical thinking.
6:39
Um, the, uh...
6:42
I think that right now, you, you referenced, um, the, the, the, uh, graduation season right now.
6:51
I, I think most, uh, graduates are happy having opportunities like those, uh, being created by AI to, to develop those senior skills and, you know, showcase those senior skills.
7:07
It, it's the, the fact that they're being hired, um, and there's demand is the, uh, the primary benefit.

10:54

I'm going to have a generalist who can look across these specialties.

Is it coming as quickly as you thought back then? 'Cause some folks would say, "It's taking a little longer to get here than we expected."
34:32
We just did a case study with Wyndham Hotels and we helped them optimize their contact centers.
34:39
It's extraordinary what they're able to do.
34:41
The, uh, the average handling times of contacts going down by half, 28% of the contacts being handled by agents.
34:51
We just did a, uh, survey of executives, and overwhelmingly, 88% of the survey respondents said they're increasing their investments in agents because of the impact they're having.
35:04
The proof points are there.
35:07
It's just the teams and their ability and willingness to scale and, and really fundamentally rethink...
36:11
Mm-hmm.
