Call Center Outsourcing

“We need more than someone to answer the phone, we need someone who will give our customers the same outstanding service we do!”

We hear this from frustrated sales managers all too often. Call center outsourcing shouldn’t be a source of frustration and concern for your company, it should be a partnership that enables you to grow your sales and profitability. So we’ve prepared this cheat sheet to help you find the best call center outsourcing partner. It’s pretty simple, really – just three things you need to look for:

1. People with the right attitude

Anybody can tell you they have good people who care about you and your customers. But do they, really? One easy way to find out is to ask about their turnover rate. If you expect churn because “that’s just how it is with call centers,” you’ll get a company that lives up to your expectations. Their high turnover will ensure lackluster customer service and sales for you. And it will ensure inefficient performance.

At USA Fulfillment, our attrition rate is extremely low. Our company is 100% employee-owned, so each one of us is personally invested in our success. That success depends on ensuring you and your customers receive exemplary service from us, all the time. We think of that as our high touch culture, and it’s what drives our entire business model, end to end.

2. People with the right training

Don’t you hate call center reps who sound like automatons on the phone? They can take your order, but that’s about it. Questions stump them, and they aren’t particularly motivated to find an answer for you. We’d like to think you want something better for your customers. Way better.

That requires in-depth product knowledge, so reps can have helpful conversations with customers. At USA, our people don’t need a cheat sheet to talk about the products we sell. They have real merchandise and the latest software at their fingertips, to make ordering fast, easy and accurate. Our reps follow trends and developments in our clients’ industries, too. That allows us to help you as well as your customers.

3. People with demonstrable performance

Great people do great work. And they can prove it. Measuring call center outsourcing performance tells you how your team is doing. Can they consistently meet above-average standards custom-tailored for your company, if that’s what you need? Reporting should be thorough and frequent enough to help you make informed business decisions on the fly. You need data to stay ahead of the competition. And make your products even better.

When it comes to call center outsourcing, you shouldn’t have to settle for anything less than people with the right attitude, training and track record. If you think your customers deserve the best, then demand it.
