6 Qualities to Look for in a Call Center Outsourcing Company

The decision to Outsource Call Center Support is a big one. After all, call center representatives will be interacting with your customers directly. They need to represent your business confidently and effectively, and they need to do everything they can to resolve customer issues before leaving them with a positive impression of your business.

Fortunately, there are many companies out there ((v)WeCare among them) that can handle call center support wonderfully. Before you make the decision to outsource call center support to a particular company, make sure they exhibit these six qualities:

1)    They should have an appreciation and respect for good customer service. A good call center outsourcing company won’t put just anyone on the phone. They will choose to work with customer service professionals. At (v)WeCare we only hire call center agents with extensive customer service work history and experience.

2)    They should invest in training on your business. Call center support is not one size fits all. In order to effectively serve your clients, a call center outsourcing company should be willing to train themselves on your industry and the methods and brand identity of your specific business. It is a huge red flag if a prospective call center outsourcing company does not feel the need to go through this type of training.

3)    They should hold themselves to a high standard. A good call center outsourcing company understands that they are on the front lines of representing your business. Their quality can directly impact your bottom line. Failure or even subpar work should not be an option.

4)    They should offer more than just call center support. A well rounded customer service outsourcing company will offer other forms of customer support along with call center support. For example, at (v)WeCare we can offer call center support, email support, social media support, and chat support. Customers today expect to reach company representatives across a variety of mediums. Limiting offerings to just call center limits the satisfaction of your customers.

5)    They should be easily reachable. In the event of an emergency like a website crash or a significant accident, your call center outsourcing company should be able to quickly scale how many representatives they have on the phones working with your customers. In order to achieve this, management and account reps must be easy to reach quickly.

6)    They should already have some good customer testimonials. At the end of the day, a company is only going to say good things about themselves. In order to get unbiased opinions on a call center outsourcing company’s performance, you should review their customer testimonials. If the company you are considering doesn’t have any testimonials, they are either new to the industry and likely inexperienced, or they simply do not have any good reviews to post, which is concerning.
