Every Call is a Brand Promise.

Align your team with client values and customer needs.

Consistency strengthens relationships.
Better experiences drive better results.

The Brand Promise Problem


Your agents represent your clients’ brands. But when people are misaligned with their roles – when their natural way of working clashes with what the role demands – it shows.

A healthcare brand that’s supposed to sound warm sounds transactional. A sales brand that’s supposed to sound confident sounds hesitant.

Clients notice. They hear inconsistency. Brand trust erodes.

This misalignment doesn’t just hurt agent engagement. It directly threatens your client relationships and margins.

How Sariio MAPS Works

Sariio measures how people prefer to work across four dimensions:

Connecting (relationships), Thinking (processing information), Deciding (making choices under pressure), and Implementing (driving results).

From a 10-minute survey, each agent gets clarity on where they naturally thrive – and which roles and brands align with their strengths.

More importantly, this visibility flows across three levels:

Mirror helps agents understand their preferences and which brands and roles suit them best.

Map gives team leaders the tools to build desks strategically – matching agent strengths to client brand requirements, reducing friction, and improving consistency.

Compass shows leadership the patterns across your entire operation, helping you design your workforce around your client brand portfolio.

The Results

When agent preferences align with brand requirements, three things happen:

Agents engage. They’re working in roles that play to their strengths, delivering their best work. Turnover drops. Institutional knowledge stays. Culture improves.

Brands shine. Clients experience authentic, consistent delivery. A healthcare brand sounds genuinely warm. A sales brand sounds genuinely confident. Customer relationships strengthen.

Your relationships deepen. Clients recognise you as a strategic partner who understands both their operational needs and how to staff them authentically. Renewals become easier. Growth conversations open.

The business case is clear: Lower recruitment and training costs. Higher client satisfaction. Stronger renewals. Improved margins.

Three Problems Sariio MAPS Solves for Contact Centres

  • image
    Problem 1: High Churn (30–45% Annually)

    Root cause: Misalignment between agent preferences and role requirements. Someone hired for a transactional desk hates it because they’re naturally relational. Someone high-energy in Deciding gets frustrated in a role requiring careful deliberation. Without visibility into brand fit, agents stay disengaged until they leave.

    Sariio’s solution:

    Mirror helps agents understand whether they’re misaligned with their role or the brand they represent (and empowers them to advocate for a move before they quit).
    Map helps leaders spot misalignment early and either coach the agent toward brand fit, move them to an aligned desk, or recruit differently next time.
    Compass shows systemic patterns: which desks have composition gaps that risk both agent engagement and brand delivery.

    Result: Churn drops because people spend less time in roles that don’t fit—or that don’t align with brands they believe in. Some people stay who would have left. New hires are better-matched to both role and brand from day 1. shows systemic patterns: which desks have composition gaps that risk both agent engagement and brand delivery.

    Problem 2: Brand Inconsistency & Weak Client Relationships

    Root cause: Agents who aren’t aligned with the brand’s values or way of working deliver inconsistent customer experience. Clients notice. They hear a healthcare brand that sounds transactional, a sales brand that sounds hesitant, a compliance brand that sounds careless. Brand trust erodes. Contract renewals become harder.

    Sariio’s solution:

    Mirror reveals which agents naturally embody each brand’s tone and values.
    Map enables deliberate team building: staffing desks with agents whose preferences align with brand requirements.
    Compass shows you whether your desk compositions are aligned with brand portfolios, and where to rebalance for consistency.

    Result: Brand delivery becomes authentic and consistent. Your clients experience their brand promise in every call. Client satisfaction improves. Renewals become easier. Upsells become possible because clients trust you as a true brand extension.

    Problem 3: Operational Complexity & Reactive Management

    Root cause: You’re staffing desks to fill seats and manage rotation. You’re not building desks strategically around brand requirements. This creates constant churn, inconsistent delivery, and limited growth.

    Sariio’s solution:

    Mirror provides visibility into each agent’s natural fit and brand alignment.
    Map enables proactive team design: building desks for brand fit, not just operational coverage.
    Compass allows you to design your workforce strategically around your client brand portfolio and their requirements.

    Result: You move from reactive hiring and rotation to strategic brand-aligned workforce planning. This improves everything: retention, client satisfaction, margins, and growth potential. You can confidently pitch new clients knowing you can staff them authentically.

Playing to Your Preferences – Practical Examples

  • image
    Example 1: The Service Desk Crisis

    Scenario: Your high-empathy healthcare client brand is experiencing 40% annual churn on your side. Agents report feeling “burnt out” and “not valued.” The client reports that their brand promise (warm, patient, caring) isn’t coming through consistently. Client satisfaction scores are declining.

    Without Sariio: You assume it’s workload, compensation, or burnout from the emotional labour of healthcare. You add staff, adjust pay, add support. The problem persists because the real issue is invisible.

    With Sariio: You profile the team. You discover that 60% of the desk is naturally low in Connecting (not natural empathizers). They’re forcing themselves to deliver warmth and patience every call—work that grinds them because it’s against their preference. Meanwhile, the client experiences inconsistency: some calls feel genuinely warm, some feel forced and transactional.

    Solution: You move 3 agents with low-Connecting preferences to transactional or sales roles (where their natural pace and efficiency shine). You hire 2 new people with high-Connecting profiles for the healthcare desk. You coach the remaining team on authentic empathy—working with their preferences, not against them.

    Result: Churn drops from 40% to 18% within 6 months. The client hears consistent warmth and patience. Brand promise is delivered authentically. Client satisfaction improves. Renewal becomes a conversation about expansion, not retention.

    Example 2: The Brand Alignment Problem

    Scenario: You win a new fintech client that demands confident, fast-moving, results-driven conversations. You staff it with your most experienced people. But the team struggles: they sound careful and deliberate when the brand demands confidence and speed. The client is frustrated. They’re hearing “we’re considering options” when they want to hear “here’s what we recommend, let’s move forward.”

    Without Sariio: You assume it’s skill or experience. You add training on sales techniques or confidence-building. The fundamental mismatch stays hidden.

    With Sariio: You profile both the existing team and the client’s brand requirements. You discover the client needs high-Deciding + high-Implementing people (confidence + pace). Your assigned team is strong in Thinking but moderate in Deciding. They naturally prefer careful analysis over rapid decision-making. The brand sound is wrong.

    Solution: You restructure: move the careful, analytical people to compliance or complex case handling roles (where their precision is valued). Assign high-Deciding people to the fintech desk. You hire new people with high-Deciding profiles for this mandate. Now the brand sounds confident and decisive.

    Result: Within 2 weeks, the client reports the calls feel like their brand. You deliver authenticity, not scripted compliance. Client satisfaction improves dramatically. The fintech brand sees you as a partner who understands their culture and can staff accordingly.

    Example 3: The Development Investment

    Scenario: You have a high-performing agent who’s ready for team lead. But you’re unsure: will they thrive managing people, or are they better as a senior agent? You move them into supervision and within 3 months they struggle. They’re frustrated managing process when they want to be taking calls. You lose them to a competitor.

    Without Sariio: You made a guess based on performance. It didn’t work out.

    With Sariio: You profile them early and against team lead requirements. You see they’re naturally high-Implementing and Deciding (execution-focused) but moderate-Connecting (less natural at people management). You see the gap. You have a choice: invest in specific coaching to build Connecting skills, or suggest an alternative path (senior agent on a complex brand, quality specialist, trainer) that plays to their strengths.

    Result: You keep a high performer. They stay in a role that energises them. They continue delivering value. You avoid the cost and disruption of losing them or having a struggling supervisor.

The Business Case for Sariio MAPS in Contact Centres


Reduce annual attrition by 8–12 percentage points

The average contact centre loses 30–45% of staff annually.

Even a 10-point reduction (from 40% to 30%) saves significant recruitment, training, and onboarding cost.

More importantly, you retain institutional knowledge and team stability.

Improve brand consistency and client satisfaction

When agent preferences align with brand requirements, clients experience authentic, consistent delivery.

This translates to easier renewals, higher NPS, and expansion conversations instead of retention conversations.

Deepen client relationships

Your clients recognise you as a strategic partner who understands their brand values and can staff accordingly.

This becomes a competitive advantage in contract renewals and new business pitches.

Expand margins through smarter staffing

Stop rotating people into roles they'll struggle with.

Build desks strategically. Reduce quality issues and rework. Improve client satisfaction. All of this improves margin without adding headcount.

Build a workforce planning approach that's data-informed

You're no longer guessing about team composition.

You’re building on evidence of which profile mixes deliver brand promise and drive retention. This becomes your operating model.

Ready to Align Your People with the Brands They Represent?

High churn and weak brand delivery aren't inevitable. They're the result of systematic misalignment.

When you solve alignment—when agents spend their time in roles that play to their strengths and on brands whose values match their preferences—engagement rises, brand delivery improves, and churn drops.

We’ve spent 9 years working with contact centres, recruitment firms, and customer-facing organisations. We know the pressures you face. We know that brand consistency and agent retention are two sides of the same coin. We know what works.

Let’s talk about how Sariio MAPS can help you deliver authentic brand promise while keeping your best people.
