Call Centers Doing Their Part To Make Every Day Earth Day

Contact centers could be the key enabler in corporations' efforts to reduce the environmental impact of business, according to the International Customer Management Institute (ICMI), now in its 25th year.
No doubt, green is red hot. Unfortunately, all the noise that individuals and businesses are making about their half-hearted efforts to be environmentally friendly is its own form of pollution. Going green seems to be more about "look at me" than "look what we need to do." True, some individuals and corporations do a lot in the way of conserving resources and energy, and those efforts are deserving of some recognition; but the truth is, all the measures that people and businesses are now taking - or, in many cases, merely say they are taking - to reduce their carbon footprint are the sort of measures that we should have been taking (and have been advised to take by environmental experts) for decades.
Experts agree that it's time to move beyond the politics and PR of environmentalism, and get down to what can and needs to be done. As a contact center professional, you may be thinking that a green initiative should be led by C-level execs. Or perhaps you are thinking that since the contact center doesn't pump out pollution or consume energy like manufacturing plants do, going green doesn't really pertain to your area of the business. But going green is everybody's responsibility, and there are myriad things a contact center can do in that regard.

Call Center industry has been on an exponential growth rate and expanding from mere offering customers oriented support to much more comprehensive strategic restructuring service providers. From wide array of services, quality technology, infrastructure; call center outsourcing has evolved in a larger than life way but the only thing which has remained in- situ is their backbone that is their customer representatives. Call center deploys highly qualified and skilled manpower to ensure seamless operations. Strict schedules, rigorous disciplines and pressurized atmosphere lead to the attrition of agents. Keep them motivated and dedicated long enough is what call centers struggle about most.
To keep your workforce on the wheels and motivated try these sure shots success formulas:
1) Give them their due recognition for their work. This will help them to improve their work and develop a healthy competition. A pat on back or just two words ‘Well done’ can make them loyal worker. A face to face approach or personal ‘Thank You’ has magical aura around it.
2) A candid atmosphere and freewheeling no holds barred conversation between supervisors and agents can vent up work frustrations and negative feelings. Timely sports camps can also be good getaways for your agents.
3) Call centers offer great compensations and salary to the employees. To prevent the job hopping tendency, your invested money and efforts, you should develop a framework of consistent quality approach. Cultivate their skills and give them opportunities to grow professionally.
4) Improve and fill the gaping holes the communication between management and agents. Try to implement a communication draft where problems, issues and tiffs should be addressed and solutions encouraged. Make team meetings regular and fun things.
5) A supervisor should know the positive and negative traits of his team. He should try to bring the strengths more strongly. They should be part of annual management surveys and goals.
6) The last but the most important part is to deal with your always unmotivated staff members who can ruin the overall efforts you have done. Try to talk to them and figure out the key problems. Force them to make a decision about a project. This can help them to realize the responsibility a work place holds.

"As operating budgets continue to tighten, leaving the responsibility to expert is logical."
Call Centers Are Intrinsic To Business

It’s the year 2010. Thinking ahead, many things in business have changed and will continue to change as technology advances and businesses become more competitive and global. Business outsourcing, both domestically and internationally, is a reality and frequently is a smart and cost efficient decision for many businesses regardless of their size, since they realize certain services are not their core business and would be better outsourced to another agent. One such frequently outsourced service is the business call center.
However, businesses need to always carefully consider what services they should outsource. Call centers are intrinsic parts of many businesses, but they can be difficult to operate and maintain. Most companies choose to outsource the service of a Call Center considering all the logistics needed to operate a successful one: the amount of space needed, the expensive phone equipment needed, the support staff needed to back-up and service the equipment, and all those important operators and telemarketers, customer service support professionals and other layers of management needed to ensure all is running smoothly, and hopefully at a profit.
Many companies are utilizing the services of a professional Call Center. When they choose an industry leader, like 1-800 We Answer, they’re engaging in domestic outsourcing at its best. Choosing a US-based call center is a both a business-savvy and customer-friendly option. The call center that your company ultimately chooses should prove to you that they are constantly thinking ahead, upgrading their equipment, adding support staff, and providing many cost-efficient services to their diverse client base. They should believe in partnering with their valuable clients to get them the results and cost savings they are seeking.
Forward thinking call centers provide services ranging from answering service, outbound telemarketing, voicemail service, fax to e-mail service, to mail receiving, to business systems installation of phones. Their installation staff might handle all the aspects of phone systems installation, from running cables, to creating an entire infrastructure for your business, to the planning and purchase of telecommunication equipment.
A call center can support and also help your sales force by making telemarketing calls, making follow-up calls, handling and recording incoming calls that come in requesting more company or product information, and even creating an enquiry log for you. As a result, a call center then becomes an extension of your sales force. A call center also allows your national or international clients the ability to pick-up their phones and call your company at any hour since when you’re a progressive company and not a traditional 9-5pm company, you are better poised to grow your company. Call centers such as 1-800 We Answer never closes and are available whenever you need them; after-hours, 24/7, 365-days a year if need be.
Sure customers and prospects can e-mail your company at any hour. Frankly speaking, isn’t it a pleasure to be able to place a phone a call to the company of your choice, and be able to speak with a live and pleasant professional who’s there to help you at any hour , on any day of the week? Find a call center who makes it a point to only hire well spoken operators and telemarketers who have excellent communication skills. These important staffers should be articulate, well trained and thoroughly screened. The call answering service that you hire should realize that the voice callers hear truly matters.
Thinking past 2010, it’s progressive thinking to allow a call center to be an important part of your business plan as you advance your business. When you team-up with the right call center partner, they will give you the added sales and customer service support you need to move your business forward. They also should realize that client satisfaction, both now and forever, is the most important ingredient to keep you in business, as well as growing it.

High Attrition Rate at Call Centers

Posted by CCI - Call Centers India
Although the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector is still growing briskly after 10 years, labor supply remains to be a big concern of the industry.
A Call Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) study shows call centers have an attrition rate of 19 percent, with an employee acceptance rate of just 5 percent. Increasing attrition rates, higher demand for complex skills, and industry growth have intensified the demand for more specialized training services.
“The demand for skilled workers has risen as the BPO industry has become increasingly complex. We have seen training become a key differentiator among BPOs, as it drives talent acquisition, retention, and development,” says Jon Kaplan President of TeleDevelopment Services (TDS).
“We believe that successful companies in the industry are characterized not just by their technology, service offerings, and clients, but also by the skills of their workforce. As a BPO support services firm, we recognize our role in the development of a qualified workforce,” he explained.

The key to interaction with customers in each industry is to be polite, even acting when customers are rude or are angry. This level can range from complimentary stay calm tone during the talks once used obscenities should hang up.

A cold call to a skeptical employer may require some gear for processing on the script for a sales call.

Call Centers Service - Is It Still Required?
3:23 AM
Posted by CCI - Call Centers India
Over the last decade call centers have become the anonymous faces of business. And though the call center business has grown by leaps and bounds the problem remains- the ANONYMOUS FACE. Inspite of personalization of call center scripts customers can instantly make out that the customer service representative from the company is actually from a call center .
Call Center Services have grown tremendously in the last decade. The reason is that companies are saving on the bottom line by cutting costs and outsourcing this work by opting for these services. The CCS faces a lot of challenges which surrounds customer experience. If you try find respond of customers of CCS, only one-third of them register positive responses! The agents have to shoulder responsibility not only to sell the products of the company but also establish brand equity for it through various channels. Some of the common problem of these services is high employee attrition, absenteeism, inconsistent answering performance and poor call quality. An often carefree attitude within a call center directly affects the overall performance of the call center.
A few of the service complaints of CCS are failure to resolve customer problems in one call, accumulation of clutter in reaching the appropriate representatives or to qualified supervisor if the problems not solved within five minutes of calling, failure to create credit among the customers especially in outsourced customer care centers. First of all, do not treat your CCS as cost cutting centers. Do not cut on training and quality control measures. In your haste to cut the cost you will lose on quality services to your customers and lose reputation and ultimately revenues. Improving the functioning of your call center must include these- efficient deployment and use of labor, effective leveraging of technology, capacity management, and demand management.
Coming to the internal functioning of CCS, there should be absolutely no lack of communication among the agents and customers. Only communicating through e-mails is not enough. It is easier and cost effective nowadays to be in touch trough the internet. Provide your account manager with as many voice interactions with the customer. Language and cultural difference of the customers is another problem in CCS. This problem needs certain contact points between the customer and service providers make way for smooth execution of any project. The offshore CCS has more problems with the accent of the customers. In this case it is advisable to go on a Live Chat. If any target is missed by the service providers, the party that will decide on the payment withholding needs to be defined frankly. This will assure that the service providers will never make frequent errors and will be extra careful.
The CCS should take extra care to keep its customers updated on a weekly basis. They should always feel they have got track of their project. It ensures less errors and hassles at the time of project delivery. Call centers generally lack leverage to invest in innovative technologies and strategies. Using knowledge base applications helps in managing the information load and keeps the agents up-to-date on the latest marketing based promotions. There are many communication applications such as Voice of the Customer (VOC) which helps to make the workforce more effective and reduce cost.
Greater effort should be make to encourage customer feedback through prompted questions and unstructured feedback which is then mined using speech analysis. You must absolutely make sure that your agents do not type when they are talking to the customer or take multiple calls and talk to more than one customer at a time. This will ensure that the agent is actually listening to the customer and 100% attention is given to the customer. Ongoing alignment is necessary because expectations are a moving target. Innovations, competitors’ moves, and economic and social trends are some of the forces that cause continual morphing of customers’ expectations. CCS is a consumer-centric business; this should kept in mind all the time.
All Call Centers should make themselves well equipped for call floods. At such times it happens that the calls are routed to inexperienced agents and results in consumer dissatisfaction or even frustration. Be pro-active and invent solutions for any imaginable situation at your center; make a strategy and develop a call routing strategy and test them in advance to cope with the actual problems when they arise.
There are many technical solutions available such as extension of voice of the customer program. You may also establish a call handling service, which would report about out of the service phone lines before the customer does! Make sure your agents can flag problems (such as slow pop-up windows or poor voice quality) during a call. If the quality has already deteriorated, it is no use rectifying the technical lapse later. You should also pay attention to forbid any fraud perpetuated by the agents which might involve false representation of data. There should be constant detecting of problems of the IVR systems.
The agents too need to have some fun and relaxation sessions. The call center management and employees should stay current all call center news and trends. Subscribe magazines or create a library shelving books and reports for the employees whereby they can increase their knowledge and skills. All this help in planning a customer service program that works for both their employees and customers. You will be able to address the customer needs all the time and making them happy even though they may not satisfied with the product or service. You may also subscribe to newsletters and whitepapers for the knowledge growth of the members of your Call Centre.
