Who is Erica Leonor?
Welcome back to the Change Your Filter podcast! In Season 3, Episode 7, Lisa sits down with Erica Leonor, founder of Voxa, for a conversation about CSR training, communication, and the human side of home service sales.
Erica works closely with home service businesses to improve how teams communicate with customers, coach CSRs, and build better systems around the customer experience.
What to Expect
In this episode, Erica explains why CSRs play such an important role in the success of online quotes and eCommerce leads.
Lisa and Erica discuss why CSRs should think of themselves as salespeople, how they can build excitement around an online quote, answer homeowner questions, and confidently guide the customer toward the next step. Instead of viewing eCommerce as something separate, Erica shows how it should fit into a broader customer journey that combines technology with strong communication.
They also talk about the importance of training, coaching, scorecards, and incentives, along with how better communication skills can help CSRs stand out and perform at a higher level.
The conversation also explores where AI can support call centers and where a real person still has the advantage, especially when it comes to trust, emotion, and building genuine connection.
Beyond operations and sales, Erica also shares her perspective on women in the trades, resilience, faith, motherhood, and balance, making this a thoughtful conversation about both business and leadership.
