How your company views its call center is important in determining the value of its operation, technology and strategy. Your company’s view relates to the three stages of call center evolution: operational, transitional, and strategic. The view of the role and goals of the call center determines the future of your company and whether it will accelerate into a unit that coincides with your company’s strategic plan and customer relationship data.
Operational call centers are the primary customer service oriented with little or no sales generation such as utilities. Customers who contact this kind of call center can schedule installation, report trouble, check account balances, and make delinquent payment arrangements. Sometimes, customers can also pay over the phone.
The management of your company sees an operational center as a cost center, not as a profit generator.
Its goal is to provide customer service but it strives to keep labor expenses down as much as possible. One of the strategies applied in this kind of call center is call avoidance with self-service for cost containment. Techniques used include call automation and information access by the customer. Since cost containment is the goal, live-agent contact is minimized. Another strategy is quality training with quicker and easy agent access to account information to reduce call time and frequency.

There it was in the Wall Street Journal last week. The headline in the Real Estate Section blared,
“Apartment Vacancy Rate Hits 22-Year High !”
and I murmured to myself … here we go again.
It just reminded me why newspapermen are NOT Real Estate Investors … they are just out to sell papers and a sensational headline will always beat out a rational article.
But wait … there’s more …
If you read the last line of paragraph three you found that, “Of the 79 Markets tracked by REIS, 45 showed an increase in Vacancies.” That sounds really BAD now doesn’t it? We should panic … right? Hmmmm … Remember now, this is coming from a newspaper and there is most certainly more to this story. Hold on just a minute …
As an Investor, what I find MOST interesting in this article is this.
In the face of the worst economic downturn since the great Depression.
In the face of the worst residential housing market in anyone’s living memory
In the face of hundreds of thousands of foreclosed / vacant / rental single family homes competing with apartments for renters
In the face of ALL of this … Read more...
