The big picture seems to be changing. Small is the new big. Or at least here at BlueChip! The numbers of our Agents working for small businesses are now more than the number of Agents working for processes of big corporations.

As you know our clientele includes big corporations of telecom, banking, real estate, and also the smaller mom-and-pop stores. The number of our Agents working for process of big business companies has always exceeded those working for small. As typically any process for a big corporation would have minimum of a hundred agents, while small businesses would never go beyond the century mark. In fact most of the Call Center services for small businesses engaged less than twenty call center Agents.

From the coming 1^st October, this equation will change. 18 small businesses will be added to our clientele list. Training is underway right now. And from the beginning of the next month, our Agents will receive calls on behalf of small businesses like a florist shop, a jeweler shop, a plumbing service, a home-appliances store, and a dentist’s clinic based in US, UK and Australia, amongst others.

This development will take the number of Agents serving small businesses to 258, while the number of those working for bigger companies’ process stands right at 252. By this narrow margin of just 6 persons, now there are more Agents in the processes for small businesses.

This shift can be attributed to our fair call center services pricing. We provide solutions that fit every pocket. And we also provision Shared Agents, which is the most preferred solution of our small business clients.

Here’s hoping that small grows bigger and the big grows better, with our dedicated services!

We at Bluechip Callcenter have a simple, fundamental work principle– ‘Highest priority to highest quality.’ From the smallest trivial tasks like color-coding an Excel Sheet to the biggest most complex tasks like Custom Software Development, we deliver only Quality work.

But achieving Quality is no mean feat. Especially because Quality is often subjectively determined and individually defined! So 10 people can have 10 different ideas about what Quality means to them. In such a scenario, the version which we trust is our client’s version of quality.

Therefore, we begin any project by first mapping all the expectations and requirements of our Clients. And fulfilling their expectations becomes our objective. For example for call centers services, some Clients would consider short conversations as high-quality, while another client would consider longer meaningful conversations as high-quality. And to align our vision of high-quality with that of our client, we lay emphasis on not just one-time expectation mapping, but continuous and regular Client Calibrations after the project has begun.

Client Calibration is essentially a process when Clients and our Quality Control team (which includes Quality Analysts, Quality Supervisors and Quality Managers) sit together and evaluate the work.

For example, Clients and our Quality team will listen to the same call recording, and each one will evaluate it separately on set criteria. The scores given by the client and the scores given by our Quality team, both are tallied. If the Client’s scores are similar to the ones given by our Quality Control Team, then both are on the same page. But if they are not, then we identify the points where the scores differ. We then hold discussions on the points of differences. And this churning and thought sharing brings about a consensus on Quality.

The beauty of these Client Calibrations is that they are not one sided. There is dialogue and both clients and our Quality teams present arguments to support their evaluation. The resultant directions from clients help us understand what they want and we deliver them exactly just that.

You are surely missing one of the most engaging discussions if you have never had a Client Calibration session with BlueChip Quality Control Team. But to be part of this calibration, you would first have to become a part of our clientele. Request a quote with us if you too are committed to highest quality.

Partnering with the right call center outsourcing vendor is very important for organizations. As they are going to trust them with some of their most critical business processes therefore it is required that these service providers are able to deliver expected quality of services. The need for the right partner becomes more prominent when organizations require them to handle customer support services. In such cases, the service providers represent the organization and communicate with customers on behalf of them. Maintaining high quality standards is most important in such conditions as it directly affects the client’s business.

Mentioned below are a few points that could help you in finding the right partner.

The Total Experience: The first thing that you need to check is the experience. The service provider should have good experience of delivering call center services to organizations operating in diverse business verticals. They should have proper experience of working for organizations from your industry too. This is important as prior knowledge of your industry would allow them to understand things quickly and result in better quality of services. Further, the management team should also have vast experience as they will be the ones who will be responsible for managing your process at the other end.

The Infrastructure: Next, you need to check out the infrastructure. The delivery center, from where all the services would be delivered, needs to be of high standard. The quality of equipments is also required to be properly evaluated. Moreover, they should be using all the relevant and modern technologies. They should also have a good power backup system along with secure server rooms.

The Agents: The quality of the agents working at the contact center is also required to be properly evaluated. These will be the frontline people who would be communicating directly with your customers. Unless you are satisfied with the level of expertise, experience and talent of agents, you should not hire the vendor. Talk to some of the agents and determine their effectiveness.

Price Comparison: The main purpose of outsourcing call center services is to reduce the overhead expenses. Thus, clients should always compare the prices of service providers. However, price should not be the deciding factor as a good call center outsourcing vendor would definitely charge more than a normal service provider.

First, you need to select the most suitable candidates and then start comparing their prices.
Whether you require call center services or IT support services, you need to partner with the right vendor in order to receive effective solutions. Apart from all the above mentioned points, you should also conduct a thorough research and investigation about the prospective partners. This would help you in determining if they are the right partner for you or not.

None can deny the importance of having satisfied customers as they are the most important aspect of today’s business setup. The tough competition has also prompted organizations to take customer support services seriously and deliver proper customer experience to them. Organizations tend to hire a call center outsourcing vendor who could take care of their customer care services and deliver an enhanced customer experience to them.

These service providers are trusted with one of the most important part of the business by their clients. It is required that they provide proper services that can keep the customers of their client’s happy. Mentioned below are some tips that can help them in providing enhanced customer experience through their call center services

Hire The Right People And Train Them Well: Everyone is best suited for a particular type of job and it is your responsibility to find and recruit right people for the job. Further, you need to train them properly for the work that they are best suited for. Develop good hiring strategies that can be effective for your particular requirements.

Keep The Staff Happy And They Will Keep Customers Happy: It has been observed that vendors who keep their internal staff happy and satisfied are able to deliver much better services than those who are not. Keep them happy so that they respect the company for which they work. This will make them put in their best effort while taking calls from customers.

Pay Attention To What Customers & Your Staff Say About You: Getting feedback and acting upon it could be one of the best things for you. Your customers as well as your staff can give all the information and feedback that you need to know. Listen to what they have to say and act upon it in the right manner.

Communicate: Lack of communication could be one of the biggest problems for you. Communication between top management and the front line agents is rarely possible in companies offering BPO services and KPO services. It is the responsibility of the top management to ensure that the front line staff is able to communicate with them on a regular basis. This will be seen as a nice gesture by the staff and would provide valuable information and feedback to the management.

As a call center outsourcing vendor, you need to understand that providing enhanced customer experience to callers is your prime responsibility. You need to do whatever it takes for making this happen. Mould your call center services in such a way that callers experience completely satisfying services from your end.
