Technology is rapidly changing many industries, and it might come as news to you that incredible strides are being made in call center technology. Adapting to current market demands, call center outsourcing now allows for much more choice, freedom, and value.

Some of these techniques make the process more intuitive and user-friendly, while others challenge the very values that lead to poor service in the first place.

Goodbye Scripts, Hello Personalization One of the worst things about call centers was the scripted responses that customers received from representatives. It wasn’t uncommon for frustrated customers to simply hang up, upset that their problem had yet to be resolved. Sometimes, it would take two or three calls to finally resolve a problem. Responses seemed mechanical, and customers often complained that representatives did not seem to consider or care about the customer’s unique circumstances. Today’s call center services have recognized the problems caused by scripts, and these kinds of robotic responses have largely been abandoned in favor of a more personalized and compassionate way of handling customer complaints and issues. Representatives are trained to actively listen and interact more deeply with customers. Call center services focus on making the customer feel valued and appreciated.

They will either be lucky or wrong”, explains to us how lost we all are without proper data. Data is important, but not all data is critical; only organized data is useful, and the rest is just a liability. Data Visualization tools convert these useful data into reports that tell the right people about the right insight at the right time. Small businesses are growing into giants by focusing on organized data, while big companies are tasting dust by ignoring it.

The pilot must rely on these blinking lights and twitching meters to understand the diverse conditions and make decisions accordingly. The cockpit displays are designed to assist pilots in making better decisions and flying the plane in the right direction. Just like pilots, business executives can rely on dashboards for harvesting the existing data to make better business decisions. Executive dashboards are a pictorial representation of complex data in an understandable manner. These dashboards represent hits, misses, KPIs and metrics on one page.

From making the first transaction 2 decades ago to exponentially growing into an industry of worth more than $5. 8 Trillion, e-commerce has not just arrived, but it's here to stay, and it's time to address the challenges it brings. Today, the e-commerce industry is in a commanding position from where it can influence policymakers and market trends. While e-commerce marketplaces continue to convenience to the lives of common people, it is crucial to recognize that they are also the lifeline for many sellers. However, they are failing to provide sellers with the same respite, and this needs to change. E-commerce platforms have certainly made it easier for sellers to reach more people and acquire more customers, but certain areas need immediate attention. The increasing number of seller pain points is not just persuading merchants to stop selling online, but it's also threatening the very foundation of the e-commerce industry.

Businesses are diligently looking for outsourcing partners because it spares them with enough time to focus on important tasks. When sub-processes are outsourced, executives are left with enough time and resources to focus on core business processes. Organizations also outsource processes that need to be executed properly, but they lack SMEs to implement them.

Every minute, over 5. 9 million searches are made on Google alone. While links to websites like Facebook, YouTube, and Gmail are the most searched queries, millions of people use Google for Product Discovery as well. Google has ruled the Product Discovery landscape for decades because it offered people relevant information almost instantly. In the recent past, Amazon replaced Google to emerge as the most preferred platform for Product Discovery. Over 51% of users now use Amazon for Product Discovery. With E-commerce taking center stage, Google will experience a hit, but searches are here to grow. A study highlighted that “almost 44% of users visit search bar as soon as they land on e-commerce platforms”, while another study revealed, “40% of revenue comes from users who use search”.

The glut of choice coaxes enterprises into self-indulgent, ultimately missing the point. While contemporaries continue to garner the benefits of listening to customers’ hidden feedback through key customer experience metrics, you fail to retain the most loyal customers. “62% of enterprises see customer experience as a key differentiator”, Deloitte announced last year . Also, with omnichannel strategies to help the corporation retain 89% of its customers, businesses will now be redirecting a sumptuous amount of investment towards innovation relevant to customer experience. Rendering exceptional customer service not only improves customer retention but also influences customer behaviour. Leveraging quality customer experience guarantees customer referrals and impactful word of mouth but can improving on customer experience help enterprises improve or double their revenue? Can optimizing key metrics of customer experience lead to an increase in revenue?

The start-up has been able to attain approximately 40 per cent growth in revenue per annum. But, with the changing market trends, the profit percentage has gone really down. Moreover, there has also been a remarkable dip in the customer loyalty and retention score and an increase in their churn rate. Anxious about her current situation, Eliza analyzed the entire scenario and found that the major flaw lies in her customer service team. As per a report shared by Microsoft, approximately 96 per cent of consumers say that customer service is an important factor in their choice of loyalty to a brand. In 2018, around 62 per cent of Americans contacted some form of customer service, according to Statista. Introduction Knowing the significant role played by the customer service division in a start-up’s success, Eliza thought that taking a team of customer service representatives on board would help in making things better, such as improved customer satisfaction, quick query resolution, increased profits, and improved retention score. But, doing so would have added an extra cost to the company. Therefore, to keep the cost within the predefined budget and meet the desired needs, Eliza chose to opt for services from a business process outsourcing (BPO) company.

Another study analyzed "46% of customers buy products online because it is cheaper". The combination of affordability and availability is cornering the retail sector. Even when 50% of small businesses in the United States are yet to build a website, the retail sector is losing a huge percentage of marketshare every year to the E-commerce industry. E-commerce's unprecedented rise has created a new avenue of opportunities for people from all facets of life. People with an entrepreneurial mindset are becoming sellers, people who prefer employment are helping these sellers in exchange for a salary, while another set of IT people are busy helping these E-commerce platforms run efficiently and deliver better customer experience. Ever since the market started to get saturated, the need for services that can help enterprises perform better than their contemporaries has increased.

Be it in terms of customer service, products offered, or any other, companies these days want to stay at an edge over their competitors and, hence, keep trying some unconventional ways to improve. Implementing a mystery shopping survey is one such way. Introduction Mystery shopping is the process in which an individual is made to personally visit a general store, bank, or any other similar place to get an inside view of the type of customer experience (CX) delivered. A successfully executed program is essential to gain an insight into their customers’ experience, measure the proficiency of the employees and determine key behaviors that may help in attaining maximum customer delight. Since a mystery shopping program can capture such minute details that are very likely to be missed by an average reviewer, executing this program can help influence customers’ purchase decisions, attitudes, and feelings towards the brand in the near future. Therefore, when a business plans to implement this program, it is important to use the skills of an experienced mystery shopper who can get a detailed view of the customer experience offered by the brand. To ensure its successful implementation, it is significant to follow the best practices of mystery shopping.

The same is the case when someone has had a negative experience with a brand. In short, excellent customer experience is what can keep your customers happy and vice-versa. Therefore, if a brand fails to meet this requirement, its loyal customer base is sure to be impacted. For a customer-centric business, delivering exceptional customer experience is crucial to stay ahead of their competitors. Many organizations understand this fact and, therefore, put in the best of their efforts to meet their exact demands and requirements. A recent survey conducted has revealed that 73 percent of customers consider customer experience as a crucial determiner when taking a purchasing decision. Another study has shown that customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator by 2020. Creating an incredible customer experience takes much effort.

One of the most important metrics that play a significant role when determining a contact center's efficiency is the length of time taken to resolve every customer's query, which is also known as First Contact Resolution (FCR). In simple words, the FCR rate is the number of times a contact center was able to resolve a customer's query or problem on the very first call or communication via any other channel, such as chat, email, text, or social media. Also referred to as the 'pulse rate of the contact center,' a higher FCR rate implies that the customers are happier and the total operating cost of the contact center is minimal. On the contrary, a lower FCR implies that the team's performance is poor and the resources are not being utilized to the fullest of their ability. Therefore, it is extremely important to utilize the available resources to the fullest of their ability. Introduction To improve the FCR score, it is also important to ensure that customers are connected with the right agents for a timely resolution. Doing so makes it easier to reduce the total churn rate and turn your customers into your brand's evangelists.

This is probably because you have spent most of your time on your products’ promotion rather than evaluating your customers’ satisfaction level with your services. Therefore, it is extremely important for brands like you to get a customer experience evaluation done using programs like mystery shopping and ascertain the right and wrong in their customer service strategy. Introduction Mystery shopping is an advanced methodology or process that helps evaluate the performance of the employees at a retail store. This process is carried out by different individuals who are hired to pretend to be a customer at the store and evaluate their employees’ performance. The performance evaluation is done on the basis of how well the employees are able to build rapport and convince the shopper to make the purchase. This evaluation is a great tactic to identify the customer’s perception of a store when they enter it and the experience they had when leaving it.

Several methodologies can be implemented to study and analyze your customers’ experience with your brand and your employees’ productivity, such as speech analytics, surveys, and loyalty programs. However, implementing a mystery shopping program can take you a step forward by helping you identify even the minutest details of the customer experience, for instance, if your services could evoke any emotions, the type of immediate responses received, and others. Mystery shopping, also known as a secret shopper or mystery consumer, is an advanced practice used by companies to evaluate the quality of customer service delivered by their employees while adhering to the set regulations.

Aware of their worth, a valuable customer believes that their issue is the most critical and should be addressed first. When that doesn’t happen in real time, it leaves them disappointed. This, in turn, affects the agent’s performance score as well as the contact center’s First Contact Resolution (FCR) score. FCR score refers to the number of times customer issues were resolved during their first call or interaction with the contact center. This interaction is not limited to phone calls and can include chat, email, SMS, and social media.

With an extensive number of companies introducing some or other advanced technological innovation in the form of products or services, there is no doubt that technology is swiftly substituting the human brain. People are now developing an increased dependence on these advancements. How AI and Automation Are Transforming Contact Centers Contact centers are in no way left unaffected from these developments. With technologies like chatbots replacing the services offered by customer support executives, there is no doubt that the introduction of these technologies at a huge scale is bound to create a higher technological dependency and unemployment. Chatbot, the short name for ‘Chat Robot’, is a computer-programmed text and voice-based interface powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Allowing the end user to interact with it and extract the requisite information, a chatbot is much more efficient as they stay on the job 24*7. However, companies need to understand that customers still prefer to interact with humans to get any of their queries resolved. To meet this need, the services offered by the customer support executives are the safest option.

Acting as a virtual sales team, the outbound contact center must have a strategic approach to deliver results. Although inbound processes are often considered more efficient due to better sales, improved customer satisfaction, and cost savings, rapid business expansion makes it difficult to manage everything internally.

Parenting a child is a lesson in negotiation and persuasion, convincing your three-year-old that it is in their best interest to take off the Spiderman costume and have a bath or negotiating with your teenager for more responsibility in exchange for more freedom. However, parenting also utilizes your time management skills, your persistence, confidence, and determination. Personal Life If you’re part of the world of online dating, you sell yourself as someone who is honest, trustworthy and worth the time and effort of the other person. As a salesperson, you are not only selling this idea, but you are also using the other skills you learned: confidence, punctuality and perseverance after yet another... --- > Discover effective strategies for maintaining open communication with your customers.

Download our free guide to discover how call center technology is evolving. Communication is also important when it comes to delivering customer service. Many customers complain companies don’t take the time to properly communicate with them. Of course, communication takes time, effort, and money. It’s little wonder it often gets moved to the backburner. This has the unintended effect of closing down communications with your customers. If you want to keep the lines open, follow these steps. Offer Multiple Contact Methods Your customers are unique. Different demographics have different communication preferences. Older people prefer to pick up the phone while those in younger generations are much less likely to ring you up. One of the best things you can do is offer different lines of communication. Do your customers have to call you or can they send you an email or fire off a text message? Offering multiple methods of contact makes it more likely a customer will contact you. Ensure Availability Today’s companies need to have 24/7 customer service on offer. You might need to take some time to respond to an email and your phone lines may sometimes get busy.

Sure, business owners have to maintain efficient operations if they want to succeed, but there’s more to it than that. Every organization has additional components that need to be fulfilled on a regular basis. For example, an owner can only prioritize operations over payroll for so long before his employees start to complain about late or inaccurate paychecks. Business requires balance, but it can be hard to achieve it in a competitive, fast-paced world. That’s why business process outsourcing (BPO) is so important for many companies. Instead of keeping inconvenient tasks in-house, many companies assign them to an outside company. This allows organizations to focus on their core operations instead of worrying about extraneous concerns. BPO can encompass a wide array of tasks, from customer support and call center services to payroll and more. But is this method right for every company? These points may help naysayers see the strengths of a well-planned BPO strategy. Financial Incentives of Business Process Outsourcing Every company faces its own unique operating constraints. Managers and employees have to follow strict budgets, no matter where they work. If employers can’t justify an expense, they shouldn’t continue to invest in it. Unfortunately, these issues are never so simple. Efforts such as customer support are essential to a company’s continued success, but they can be expensive to maintain. As a result, many organizations slash these departments’ budgets to the point where these services are severely compromised. So how... --- > Unlock 7 key advantages of outsourcing customer support, from cost-efficiency to enhanced service quality.

Tracing, contacting, negotiating, and following up with your customers can absorb a great deal of your employees’ time and resources. Outsourcing your ARM process is simpler and safer than it has ever been: the right partner company will help you to maintain control over your portfolio regardless of the size of your company. Here are few questions about Outsourcing Accounts Receivable Management" Why Shouldn’t I Manage Accounts Receivable Internally? The truth is that you absolutely can have someone internally complete this process, but the real question is, would you want to? Regardless of the size of your company, the task of hiring, training and managing your debt collection in-house is a daunting task. Choosing to outsource this process frees up your time and money so you can concentrate on all of the other things it takes to keep your business running. Choosing to outsource your ARM process may pair you with a company whose expertise at this particular line of business. Their employees are trained based on best practices the company has put together from their years of experience. These companies also stay abreast of the latest in technology and legislation to ensure they provide you with the best services and your customers are treated with respect and dignity.

Unearth insights into recruitment strategies. - Published: 2024-03-07 - Modified: 2025-07-03 - URL: https://www.billgosling.com/blog/the-root-causes-of-high-attrition-cause-1-hiring-the-wrong-people/ Introduction Companies in all sectors struggle with employee retention – call centers in particular have a history of high turnover and attrition rates. There may be many reasons why this may be the case – people don’t see jobs in contact centers as their ultimate goal. Some struggle with the job itself - based on your Client's instructions there might be periods of time where you don't talk to anyone. Others lack the necessary empathy and skill set for a customer service job. Contact centers are experts on the topic of employee turnover and attrition rates. Attrition is a popular method of measuring a company’s success in talent retention. But, attrition is an imperfect metric, as discussed in previous articles including “5 Facts and Stats about Attrition”. Attrition only deals with how many people are leaving and does not assess why they leave. Lots of things impact your employee turnover. You could hire the wrong candidate, one who left because they are not a good fit. You could have individuals who work with the company for a defined amount of time – for example, employees who are going back to school. As a metric it does nothing to address the natural employment variations that occur because of scalability and seasonality of contracts, for example, a company who focuses on Roadside Assistance as their primary industry. They will have movement in employment levels, especially in a country where demand is higher during bad weather months. Focus on your employees and improve... --- > Explore the top 5 reasons why joining a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firm can be rewarding.

Some people love it; others hate it. It seems as though nothing divides a room full of business professionals faster than the idea of sending some services out of house. Although some people will argue against it until they’re blue in the face, outsourcing is incredibly important for virtually every business today. In fact, the global business process outsourcing (BPO) market was valued at $261. 9 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at 9. 4% CAGR through 2030 (Grand View Research). The Obvious Benefits of outsourcing Cost reduction consistently ranks among the top drivers for companies choosing to outsource, according to multiple industry surveys and reports. Outsourcing will save you time and money. It’s often the first thing mentioned when someone suggests you should outsource this function or service. Some businesses send their HR functions to an outside company, while others will seek outside help for everything from customer service to marketing to PR to strategic planning and consulting. There’s no shortage of services and functions to outsource. The major reason firms opt to outsource is because it does save time and money. Take customer service for example: By contracting with a third-party provider, you get instant access to a team of highly qualified customer service reps who interact with your customers using the latest technology and techniques.

Your customers want the best possible service or product delivered to them without fail. While you can’t guarantee a 100-percent success rate, QA limits the number of defects in the final product. There are so many other things you could be doing other than QA, however, whether you’re the sole employee in your company or one of many. Download our whitepaper to see how we help clients run successful campaigns It’s one reason outsourcing quality assurance makes good sense.

It Frees Up Your Time As already covered, outsourcing quality assurance frees up your time for more pressing tasks. There’s no denying QA work is important. But it doesn’t get you around the fact this task can eat up your precious time. To truly check the product or service—be it an app the customer will run on a smartphone, or your company website—you’ll have to spend time testing each individual part and making sure it works. You were probably thinking of everything else you could be doing, even as you read the description of how much QA work you needed to do! Your talents are best put to work elsewhere.

For that reason, many people automatically write off outsourcing. But call centers exist all over the world, and the most popular location for call centers is actually the Philippines. While few people may consider the Philippines an option for their outsourced call center, there are a number of reasons that a Philippines call center can help you satisfy your customer service needs and provide your company with a continuation of service when challenges arise in your other centers. 24/7 Global Customer Support Through Time Zone Advantage One of the biggest challenges in providing customer service is the limitations of time zones. In fact, that is one of the reasons many companies outsource their call centers in the first place: They simply cannot afford to staff their center around the clock to give their customers the 24/7 care they need and want. Countries in Southeast Asia are in a different time zone, which means that their working hours stagger nicely with North America. A Philippines call center can help you manage calls in the early morning and late at night. Thanks to the difference in time zones, operators in the Philippines can work a dayshift in their location, but be on call when your customers are calling you before 9 in the morning or after 5 in California. That can help you achieve truly 24/7 care for your... --- > Discover how call center tech boosts customer care with automation, analytics, and omnichannel support—driving higher satisfaction levels. - Published: 2024-02-28 - Modified: 2025-06-23 - URL: https://www.billgosling.com/blog/how-innovative-call-center-technology-is-improving-customer-care/ TL;DR: Technology has had a profound effect on consumers’ buying habits. This new world has encouraged growth in online retailers. Anyone who’s recently bought from online retailers knows that new innovations have made the shopping experience more convenient and efficient. But these changes have also affected buyers’ expectations. They get impatient if a transaction takes too long, and a wealth of alternatives ensures that they can go elsewhere if a product or service doesn’t meet their needs. Old customer service practices can’t accommodate this new way of doing business. Thankfully, technology is a double-edged sword. While it may eliminate traditional client care methods, it also enables companies to cater to their customers in exciting new ways. Those that remain complacent will not be able to satisfy their audience, but those that can adapt to these challenges will be able to achieve a new level of consumer engagement. The following represents just a few examples of the innovative call centre technology on the market today. You’ll be able to satisfy your customers’ unique needs with these tools on your side. Call Distributors Ensure Qualified Representatives Answer Calls Consumers value their time. They may hang up on you if you make them jump through hoops to reach the right service representative. You need to ensure that the right person picks up when customers call because they probably won’t call back. Call distributors can help you achieve this goal.

It is no secret, Bill Gosling Outsourcing is a fan of geese. There is nothing quite like seeing those dark shapes streaking across the sky: from the iconic flying V-formation to their unique honk, geese are fascinating creatures. Wildlife scientists have been studying some of their interesting qualities, and have discovered these 5 behaviours that help geese be more efficient and effective team members. 1. Geese Fly Further Together The iconic Flying V is for more than just allowing the geese to see something other than the back of the bird in front of them. Each bird, as it flaps its wings, is creating lift for their fellow birds, allowing them to fly further with less effort. When a goose falls out of formation, they quickly realize that it take a lot more energy to try to fly alone. Very quickly, they move back into formation and work as part of the group again. When your team has a common goal that they want to reach, they will be more efficient, effective, and successful when they work together. This is especially essential when you are working in a team where each person’s work is built on the back of another’s. When one person tries to do all of the work alone, or removes themselves from the team, they discover how much more work they need to do to... --- > Call center customer service remains crucial in today’s omnichannel economy.

Today's contact centers serve a 24/7 global customer, help build brand reputation, and act as the primary customer experience interface. To many, call centers seem like relics of the past. After all, most people remember the frustration of calling a company for service; you’d ring up and then wait on the line forever! Or maybe you could only call between nine and five. Today, you have so many different options for getting in touch, you might wonder who even uses a call center anymore. The answer is most businesses still use call centers. However, they might be called “contact centers” instead. They’re still the number-one way for customers to get in touch with a firm. And when it comes to delivering superior customer experience, the call center is your frontline. Customer Service: The New Competitive Edge Some people have said customer service is the last frontier where businesses can truly differentiate themselves. The result has been an increasing struggle among firms to deliver the best service for their customers. It’s not misguided: More than three quarters of customers say they’d leave a company if they received poor service. With that in mind, more and more firms are attuned to how they deliver customer service—and how they can do it better. The Evolving Role of Call Centers in CX In the battle for customers, call center customer service becomes front and center.

You need to maintain smooth, manageable workflows while simultaneously completing necessary tasks. So how do you make your time and effort go further? 1. You Can Focus Directly on Key Operations Running a business involves more than just selling a product or rendering a service. You also have to take care of secondary tasks that aren’t directly involved with your area of expertise.
