How to restructure a Call Center?
We might think we are doing things right when we see positive statistics as a result of the tools implemented to measure brand reputation, figures that are maintained over a timeline.
This gives us a sense of calm, as we assume that the task is being done well, sometimes making a mistake: not preparing for the crisis.
This current situation has highlighted the lack of planning for that zero moment, where a company, a work area or a process is restructured, as a result of the analysis of business experts and, on the contrary, it is left to the whims of fate, in this case, a pandemic.
This time of crisis, caused by a virus, has forced not only individuals but also companies to reinvent or restructure their business model, impacting different processes such as customer service. Call Center.
#Restructure a Call Center
They make the most of technology to make operations more effective, considering aspects such as the expense involved in implementing teleworking, the investment it may represent, and the processes that can be automated.
There are aspects that, while not directly related to the current situation, have forced several companies to modify their customer service through the Call Center; let's remember that this is a channel that also measures brand reputation.
Avoid dissatisfied customers
It should be understood that a dissatisfied customer is formed when they exceed 4 minutes of waiting time on the phone line, so to avoid these situations, the company should consider improving aspects such as:
- Supporting remote work, stabilizing operations, considering the current needs of Call Center agents and customers.
- Increase the availability of the work team by using Artificial Intelligence.
- Start the restructuring gradually, perhaps by implementing virtual assistants that answer frequently asked questions from regular customers.
- Establish partnerships to train your team in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence and new technology.
- Implement new customer service channels such as online chat or WhatsApp Business.
- I evaluated the implementation of new technology and its impact on customer service.
- Analyze the statistics from the studies in order to determine trends or establish improvements.
- Review the comments or data that have been generated outside of the crisis period; you will also find valuable information for restructuring there.
This moment should not be wasted, because it is in times of crisis that business strengths come to the fore, just as happened 20 years ago with the digital transformation, giving rise to companies like Amazon, or 10 years ago with the mobile revolution giving rise to companies like Apple.
This is a time of accelerated restructuring where e-commerce and e-learning platforms will gradually gain ground, and call centers cannot afford to be left behind.
