I changed a boring linear telemarketing script into a flow chart (with lots of clever jokes in it) that instructed the marketeer to thank people and terminate the conversation slightly prematurely. (in stead of trying to force people though the linear script) The mood in the call center changed from wanting to die to perpetual laughter. It seemed to increase productivity slightly but people called back years later when they needed insurance.
