  Every company seeks a call center service provider in order to deliver the best customer care services. No wonder why the call center industry not just in India but the pan world is rising at an incredible rate. If you also fall amongst the realm of those who are planning to start a call center or already have one, this blog is for you. Starting a call center simply and starting an unparalleled one are two different things entirely.
  If you want to open a matchless one, you would need the best pool of employees, excellent infra with the latest software and hardware and that is not just it. You would need to look out and plan for everything from the scratch till the end. Take a look.

  • First of all, you should have a layout for your call center. In order to have a good working environment for your staff, you should see if the rooms have proper ventilation. The lighting should also be enough. Also, make sure you have a leisure room where the employees can chill and relax for a while.

  • The basic task of a reliable call center service provider is to make and receive calls. So, the agents that they hire should have great communication skills. The HRs should hire the agents after seeing certain qualities in them which make them the right fit for the position.

  • Make sure the workstations are aligned with each other so that there is no problem in communication amongst the employees. This, in turn, will also ensure higher customer satisfaction.

  • Also, to reduce the noise coming from the outside of your office should be minimized so that the agents can listen to the person on the line properly. For the same, the call center service provider should get acoustic wall panels and carpets.

  • The candidates hired should then be trained. The company should teach them the ways to use the software and other tools. It would be a great practice to let the peers evaluate each other’s performance. Don’t think that you have completed the training in the initial few days and you don’t need to do anything now, keep training the agents. At regular intervals, organize a workshop, invite ideas etc.

  • Other than that, the call centers need to focus on the technology, hardware and software it is using. If even one of them would not be good enough, hiring the best candidates and training them assiduously, all will go in vain. The LAN should be sure the workstation should have more and more of automation and less work to be done by the agents manually. The same will help them in focusing on calls in a much better way.

  • Hardware like automatic call distributor, VoIP and software like IVR, CTI, and the one for recording calls are a must have.
  So, while opening a call center make sure you have all these.
