CALL CENTRES
A Call Centre also called the Contact Center, or Customer Service
Centre, does the work of receiving or making telephone calls for helping
the customers, on behalf of various companies. Every call center is
organized differently depending upon the type of products or services
they support. The call centers offer an efficacious outsourcing and
substantial cost-effectiveness, in convincing and tackling customers
of the companies for which they work. Major Categories are:
1. The Customer Care service is a broad category,
and there can be various core or specific work profiles within its
sphere such as inbound enquires, outbound calls, help desk, etc.
2. Technical Support
This is usually a specialized support; however, in some processes,
it can be generic and does not require a special degree or diploma.
3. Quality department
Almost all successful companies have a well-equipped quality department
which keeps an eye on the day-to-day processing and progressing of
jobs. Professionals working in quality departments are usually tenured
executives from the frontline workforce as they have a comprehensive
knowledge and deep insight of the product under surveillance.
4. Training and development
Training can be a part of Human Resources Department in some organizations
or can also be a separate division in some.
5. Admin/Facilities
Most BPOs invest heavily in the infrastructure and require a large
number of professionals and ancillary staff to manage the same.
6. Leadership roles
Leaders are visionaries who keep close track of all processes and
activities being executed under the flagship of a company, whether
a captive centre or third party vendor.
