Call centers are essential partners for Texas-based retail electric companies. With the industry being deregulated in Texas, good support can help enhance the customer experience, ensure PUC compliance, and turn qualified leads into conversions. However, the level of support needed by startups and established companies varies. No matter the stage of your business, Westpark Communications is here to provide effective solutions.
The Role of Call Centers for Retail Electric Companies
Startup Retail Electric Companies
For startup retail electric companies, having a call center can help secure clients. Many of these businesses choose to prioritize a company that can effectively obtain enrollees. This means that their chosen call center focuses on marketing and providing excellent customer service, ultimately leading to client acquisition and a positive reputation. Many startups also opt for a U.S.-based provider to take on these tasks, ensuring quality interactions every time.
Established Retail Electric Companies
Established Texas-based retail electric companies often focus on addressing client concerns on a larger scale. They usually partner with an offshore call center to get a greater quantity of support. Though this can be helpful in communicating with a larger number of customers, having only offshore support may not be as effective in addressing escalation calls or PUC compliance.
Why Have a U.S.-Based Partner
Having a U.S.-based call center can be beneficial, especially for Texas-based retail electric companies that are already established. When partnered with an offshore provider, businesses will be able to seamlessly manage their customer service while maintaining PUC-compliant standards.
Lead Conversion
An onshore call center understands the nuances and needs of a local retail electric company better than an offshore agency would. When it comes to turning qualified leads into customers, a U.S.-based partner would be more effective in converting leads.
Escalation Management
There are times when customers get frustrated with agents from an offshore call center or when foreign partners wouldn’t be able to effectively manage client concerns. Having a local provider for escalation management can help provide better services and a better customer experience.
Overflow Management
In times of need, retail electric companies may be faced with an influx of customer concerns that their offshore providers won’t be able to address effectively. Having a U.S.-based call center as a secondary partner can help better manage overflow calls when the need arises.
