Would My Business Benefit from a Call Center?

Managing incoming calls well can make or break your customer relationships. But as your business grows, doing so can become even more difficult. Many companies ask, “Do I need a business call center?” If that describes you, here are a few questions you can ask to help you find your answer:

Are you dealing with an overwhelming number of calls? 

Having your phones ringing off the hook is excellent news for your business! But handling all of them manually can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve got a small support staff. It can lead to longer-than-average hold times, a standstill in productivity, and many frustrated customers. Having a business call center can help.

Call center platforms, like those from Simplicity VoIP, are designed to handle high call volumes efficiently! Instead of frantically answering calls, your system can organize and prioritize incoming calls for you via automated call routing.

It can also give callers the option to serve themselves using an interactive voice response (IVR) system—which you can customize however you like! This saves time, resources, and your team’s sanity.

Are you missing too many calls for comfort? 

If you’re constantly missing calls or struggling to keep up with voicemails, it’s time to consider implementing a call center. After all, missed calls reflect poorly on your business and can lead to missed opportunities, which can cost you revenue. 

A business contact center platform from Simplicity VoIP centralizes all call management, making it easier than ever to stay on top of calls. And with features like caller-in-queue prioritization, call forwarding, call back options, and voicemail-to-email, you can guarantee no one slips through the cracks.

Plus, with our real-time call monitoring capabilities, you can quickly identify peak call times and staff accordingly, so there’s never an empty desk.

Do your customers expect more personalized care? 

Then welcome to the club. According to a recent Salesforce report, 86 percent of service agents reported that customer expectations are higher than they have been in years. Customers expect you to know their names, needs, and solutions as soon as you pick up the phone.

And a business call center from Simplicity VoIP can help you meet those expectations. Our platform can integrate with your CRM, ticketing systems, and other tools so you can get insights into:

• Customer preferences 

• Previous interactions 

• Customer history with the company in seconds

Armed with this information, your team can deliver the personalized solutions and support your customers expect. Plus, our platform has built-in sentiment analysis. Do your agents struggle to know how to respond to a text or a call? Sentiment analysis is an AI-powered program that reads between the lines and lets agents know how your customers are feeling both before agents pick up and as their talking. Now your agents will always know how to engage with your customers, whether it’s calm de-escalation or cheery engagement.

Do you struggle with how to improve your support processes? 

You know if you are. Perhaps customers are slowly slipping away without letting you know why. Or calls are taking longer than usual, and you can’t pinpoint the reason.

If that sounds like you, it’s time to get a business call center from Simplicity VoIP. It’s got all kinds of analytical features that reveal what practical steps you can take to improve your CX (customer experience). Features like:

• Call Recording lets you capture and review customer conversations to identify areas where improvements can be made. For example, it can help you uncover common customer concerns or agent performance issues.

• Call Transcription converts spoken conversations into text for easy analysis. With this transcript, you can quickly search for keywords or phrases like “confused” or “don’t understand” to see where callers might be hitting roadblocks. It also works in reverse, helping you find instances where calls were handled well using keywords like “great,” “perfect,” or “thanks a lot.” 

• Cradle to Grave tracking allows you to follow a caller’s journey from the first call to the final resolution. This big picture understanding of your support process makes it easier to spot where it's breaking down. 

• Time on Hold tells you how long callers are waiting on hold before speaking to an agent. If you notice this time creeping up, it could mean you need better agent training, better call routing, or  

• Abandoned Calls count how many callers hang up before they’re serviced. Using this in addition to call recording and transcription can help you find ways to reduce that number through clearer automated menus or hiring more staff.

• Agent Performance is a metric that combines average call duration and customer satisfaction ratings to give you a good idea of which agents might need more training and which ones should be praised for exceptional service. After all, recognizing agents is a great way to keep them around.

Having these features, and more, at your fingertips lets you adjust your support in tangible ways. And empowers you to deliver top-tier service every single time.
