Gone are the days when outsourcing was considered as unneeded complication and something unwanted and unwelcome guests in business premises. With the time, economies and markets, business owners have not only softened their approach towards call centre outsourcing but also made them a significant extension of their business given the profits and cost control associated to BPO services.
Some main advantages that are associated with offshore call centre services
1) Concentration on Core issues: Your team does not have to spend time on time consuming issues like taking calls or telemarketing. Instead, they can focus on core functional issues of a business.
2) Best Minds working for you: Call centers are platforms that ensure that best minds, best of technology and best of resources are available for you.
3) High Quality in Lower Costs: Lower costs of call centers do not intend lower quality. You get world class services on offshore rates.
4) Data Management and Security: Thanks to the rigorous data safety management your company does not get lost on data and information. Every piece of information you confide with them remains secured and valid.
5) Margins Saving: You cut costs considerably. With call centre outsourcing, you can save up to 40 to 60 percent on operational costs like administrative, recruitment expenses across all levels of business.
6) Streamlined and Tighter Work Operations: Your work operations are managed properly thanks to the proper application and software like CRM deployed.
7) Embracing New Technologies: Today when new technologies are emerging on daily basis, call centre offers you opportunities to deploy new technologies like Cisco for your business resulting in advancement of your business and saved costs.
Disadvantages:
1) Distance: Distance is what makes business owners distant to outsourcing.
2) Costs: For the starters, the margin falls short than expected. That happens mainly because of misunderstanding, lack of proper communication or mismanagement.
3) Tall Tales and Lies: Sometimes, call centre owners offers something they do not specialize or present themselves they are not. That irks off most of business.
4) Lack of Professionalism and Finances: This is a situation when call centers lack of necessitate funds to run an operation smoothly or have to leave in mid-way. Sometimes, due to incapable HR policies or high attrition rates, they employ agents that lack basic skills of being an agent.
The Remedy:
What we need to understand that these disadvantages can happen with onshore and near-shore call centers as well. Fear of deals would go wrong have not stopped you from working then why should it be the case with outsourcing? However, experts insist that you outsource safe and risk free. When you outsource, you are not suppose to send all your work to third party service provider and go to vacation. Instead, outsource something that is consuming most of the working time of your in-house team and wreaking havoc on financial front like call answering, telemarketing, appointment scheduling, credit card processing or finance and admin outsourcing. This would not only be cost saving but also, productive.
You need to develop mutual trust and understanding with your call center outsourcing and call center service provider as you would do with any of your on-shore partner. They are operating at distance that does not mean that they do not understand the analytics of market or mathematics of business. You just need to be patient and understanding with them.
