Things to Remember Before You Outsource A Call Center Service Provider

 

SMEs can outsource, that is a fact. You can reap tons of benefits when you outsource call center services. When you choose to do so, you must remember these key points

1. Define Your Needs: Inbound or Outbound Call Center Services

A call center service provider may specialize in one or the other. While some BPO companies may offer both services. When you define what you need, you can shortlist the best provider for you.

This will give you an idea what kind of agents your provider should assign on your business.

For inbound call centers, best to have polite agents. Also who can lend empathetic ears to your customers. Whether the customer reaching your business is nice or the irate ones.

For outbound call center services, polite but assertive agents and skilled in sales is a must. This is true if they have to do cold calling or telemarketing for your business.

2. Determine Your Business Average Call Volume

A good starting point would be to determine the average daily calls you receive, and then per month. Are there seasonal spikes of the call volume you receive or vice versa? Also the average duration of the calls you receive or you make. Once you determine these, you can further tailor your call center services needs.

It is worth noting that a call center service provider will give you the ability to scale up or down. This is perfect for businesses that have an erratic influx of customer calls. Scale up when there are tons of calls. Scale down when it is manageable by a small number of teams.

3. Location of the Call Center Service Provider

Customer retention relies on how your chosen provider can deliver satisfactory service. 61% of consumers cite poor customer service experience they stopped transacting with a business.

Also communication issues arise if English is not a native language of your call center service provider. Furthermore, shared culture is another key to build rapport with customers. The ability of your outsourced agent to relate to your customer is an added boost for your business.

Good thing is, this ideal situation is not a rare thing to find. The perfect balance for these vital factors is the Philippines. Dubbed as the World’s Call Center Capital. This proves that outsourcing call center services here is a top choice for businesses worldwide.

English fluency is part of the learning process in the country. In fact, it is the medium language for teaching from elementary to tertiary. Also cultural affinity to the west comes naturally due to the American colonization in the country.

4. Complexity of Your Product or Service

The nature of your business can also help you to narrow down your options when outsourcing. If your product or service requires specialized knowledge then look for agents with such qualities. This is to ensure they are efficient when interacting with your customers. 

For example if your business is in the healthcare industry, then an agent with medical knowledge and experience would be ideal. Depending on your business, some certifications are a necessity.

This is true for healthcare where HIPAA-compliance is a must. For financial institutions, PCI Level 1 for credit card information processing.

To know these factors and awareness of necessary certifications will ensure security. Information and data security should be a priority when outsourcing.

5. Call Center Service Provider Performance

Outsourcing call center services is an investment, not an add-on. Thus it is critical to choose who you will partner with. Once you shortlist your top choices, you can ask for their performance. You can zoom in on their experience in the same industry or same business model you are in.

Things to consider is that it is a best practice to answer calls within 20 seconds. Average call duration should be 4 minutes. Also an average of 70%-75% of callers issues resolution on the first contact.

These figures are a good number to serve as your benchmark. Furthermore, focus on their consistency when delivering the service you want to avail.

6. Call Center Services Pricing

There is a clear difference between inshoring and offshoring. Inshoring means you have to pay for call center services adherent to your country’s labor wage. For the western call center services provider it ranges from $22-$40 for an agent’s hourly rate.

While when you outsource call center services offshore, it would only range from $6-$8 for an hourly rate. Imagine the cost you can save when you choose to outsource offshore.

But, keep in mind that affordable does not mean low quality. It is always up to you to choose the best call center service provider to suit your needs.
