Outsource Call Center
Outsource Your Call Center with A.R.C.E.
Do you know why large companies eventually start ordering the services of outsourced call centers? Although they have great resources, technology and experience, sometimes they cannot provide their customers with the quality of service they need.
After all, there is no business in the world that does not depend on communication with its customers. Even in the age of messengers, people want to have their question resolved immediately by speaking with a company representative.
Therefore, sooner or later, companies face a choice: how to improve or strengthen the support service. And what is better: to create your own team, or to seek help from an outsource call center?
In this article, we’ll look at the pros and cons of call center outsourcing and analyze when it might make sense for a company.
Benefits of Call Center Outsourcing
Basically, the advantages of outsourcing include not only the fact that call centers are professionally engaged in communication with customers. Companies also save time and money.
- The company does not need to “build” its own call center, deal with its maintenance, technical equipment and related costs.
- Companies can concentrate on other (more important) business processes, removing the load related to customer service in a call center from the shoulders of their own personnel. In this way, companies can focus on product development and market promotion, as well as on scaling. By cooperating with an international call center, a brand can enter or consolidate its position in different countries.
- The call center deals with personnel recruitment, works with them, changes the number of employees depending on the needs of the project.

When choosing a call center, companies should also pay attention to other things, in particular, to what extent the values and vision of the work coincide with the chosen call center.
Let’s consider the situation. As a rule, the work of the call center is defined in achieving the result that the customer (partner, client) wants and needs, as well as in the performance of target indicators. For example, when all indicators are met, it means that the work of the contact center team is done well, and the customers are satisfied. However, clients often make a mistake when they pay attention exclusively to indicators, without taking into account the needs, interests, behavioral characteristics of customers and consumers of their own company, as well as other nuances of the process.
Productive cooperation between the call center and the customer can be built according to various models, which will depend on the customer’s goal and the capabilities of the call center.
And in order to avoid a situation where the work of the call center does not meet the expectations of the customer, before starting cooperation it is necessary to find out: clear and specific goals, why they are needed, whether they will really help to achieve the required result, why and for what he wants it, and whether it is possible to implement all this.
In other words, the executor and the customer must have a common understanding and idea of the final result. They always focus on understanding what value their implementation will bring to the customer.
Consider an example when the client is a well-known telecommunication and Internet operator. He states that the Service Level should be exclusively 90/10. As a reminder, SL means the percentage of calls handled by an agent during a period that does not exceed a set value. An exemplary indicator of the level of service provided by a call center is considered to be 80/20, which means that in 80 cases out of 100 agents should answer a call within 20 seconds.
Therefore, when communicating with the customer, it is important to find out why he only wants this speed? If it’s slower, will things get worse? Will it really affect customer satisfaction and business? And if so, how? Why, according to the customer, can such a result of the indicator be considered successful? This also applies to other indicators: if the result is 85%, 87%, 92% or 79%, is it good for the customer or not?
So does the customer really need such indicators, because there may be many appeals from people regarding the solution of emergency situations? After all, the value of any indicator is an object of effort on the part of the performer: the higher the bar of requirements, the more expensive the service.
The more precisely (more honestly) all the details are discussed at the negotiation stage, the easier it will be in the future for both the customer and the contact center. It is at this stage that the parties discuss their possibilities and expectations and settle on a solution acceptable to all, or do not go further into long-term cooperation.
All the details that were inconvenient at the stage of negotiations, but to which the eyes were closed, will later slip out. Everything that is uncomfortable causes a desire to be involved in it as little as possible. And this is not what we expect in business. We want maximum attention to our questions and problems.
So, effective communication is crucial for any business, which is why consulting with a call center outsourcing company can be a game-changer in improving customer satisfaction.

Open new horizons of
customer experience
Outsourcing call center services can lend a helping hand with a diverse range of responsibilities, including call management, online live chat support, email correspondence, social media oversight, lead generation, telemarketing, and market research.
Inbound calls are calls that come to the call center from customers. For example, when a customer contacts the call center with a question about a product or service, or when they have a problem with their order and want to solve it.
Outbound calls are calls made from the call center to customers. For example, when a call center approaches a customer with an offer to buy a product, or when they conduct a survey to find out the customer’s opinion about a particular product or service.
The main difference between a call center and a BPO company is that a call center specializes in the full cycle of customer support, while a BPO company specializes in providing services for handling various business processes.
That is, unlike call centers, the services of a BPO company can include financial management, accounting, HR management, logistics, IT devеlopment and other services. BPO companies can specialize in specific sectors, such as financial outsourcing.
