What to Look for When Hiring a Call Center
Services: Beyond Just Answering Calls
Essential Call Center Services
When exploring call center options, it’s crucial to understand the breadth of services offered. A call center’s capabilities should extend beyond mere call answering to include question resolution, call routing, order taking, and basic technical support. Identifying your business’s specific needs is the first step:
- Do you require basic message relay services during off-hours?
- Are you seeking a proactive call center to nurture sales leads and contribute to your business growth?
Ensure you review a comprehensive list of services offered by the call center, focusing on how they can support your business expansion through phone, web, and email communications.
Commonly Offered Services
- 24/7 Live Call Answering
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
- Message Relay and Dispatch
- Live Web Chat Support
- Toll-Free and Specific Area Code Numbers
- Online Portals for Call Review
- Email Support
Custom Solutions & Qualifications: Tailoring Services to Your Needs
Addressing Business Challenges
A quality call center does more than answer calls; it offers solutions tailored to your industry’s challenges, potentially driving business growth. Services to look for include:
- Custom scripting and call workflows
- Sales lead qualification
- Bilingual/multilingual support
- Advanced web or CRM integration
- Call recording access
- Customized reporting
Another consideration is whether or not the call center you are considering has the necessary qualifications to operate in that particular industry. Examples include:
- HIPAA-certified agents if your business is in the healthcare industry
- Direct experience with lawyers, property managers, etc.
- Testimonials from current clientele in the same or similar industry as yours
