How to Get The Most of Your Outsourced Customer Services Provider

Customer support companies offer consulting, and a perspective on how successful companies provide the best customer service, which cannot be achieved just using in-house employees. Around the clock support is easily achieved with a customer service provider, and is no longer an expensive option for those operations who need to manage manpower at different hours of the day or night.

An outsourced customers service provider is effective in a number of ways:

In-house customer service employees can make a company lose productivity and coverage if an employee misses work. With a customer service provider, the organization receives redundant staffing. By using the outsourced model, the company will always have coverage that they pay for, instead of affecting your bottom line.

Customer support partners provide advanced reporting & analytics to help companies gain more insight into their customers. The data they provide creates opportunities to make better strategic decisions, stronger marketing campaigns, and enhanced profitability. When in-house, the company has one specific way to handle reporting and evaluate customer service data. An outsourced provider has experience in providing information through a number of sources to add value and insight.

HR, staffing and scaling is easy with an outsourced customer service provider. The company can focus on internal functions while the service provider handles resumes, interviews, and talent acquisition. They help by taking full control of the talent management process, including onboarding, training, and process management.

This is advantageous for an organization, especially during the holiday season. While most companies have a period of downtime, an outsourced customer support provider allows you to scale up during these periods to meet the needs of the company any time of year. There is no need for temporary workers or additional overhead costs.

“After interviewing many firms, I realized that Goodbay was run very differently than other offshore outsourcing companies. After meeting with your team, I got the sense that our customers and critical business process would be treated with the utmost care, which is why I moved forward.”

“We selected Goodbay as a service provider because they have a specialization in mobile first customer support and were already in tune with our business needs. This made onboarding, transitioning, piloting and partnering for the long term easy. We would only consider outsourcing customer support permanently if it was on par or better than what we’ve been doing in-house.”

This demonstrates that companies can get premium support while controlling their costs at the same time by using an outsourced customer service provider. This increases productivity, efficiency and effectiveness to generate revenue. A model that consistently evolves, employing a provider that meets your needs can truly make the difference.
