Call center QA is an
integral element in helping call centers achieve top productivity
Call center QA (Quality Assurance) is an important element
closely tracked by call center monitoring service companies. QA incorporates
different measures to gauge and rate call centers as a whole, and individual
agents within their company.
Call centers sometimes
rely too heavily on new technology
The advent of new and much improved technology and call
center-specific programs and software has helped some call centers immensely.
Their own specific productivity and levels of quality they are providing client
companies has made significant strides as a result of staying “ahead of the
curve” in their industry. Some companies are, however, relying too much on new
technology, losing some focus on the human element side of the equation.
How this technology can
be too much for customers to tolerate
One tangible example of how this more advanced means of
technology can ultimately adversely affect customer satisfaction is one a whole
lot of people can relate to. New programs and technology in some situations
result in putting people on hold for lengthy, extended periods of time. Often,
even prior to being put on hold, customers will have to listen to long menu
options, having to make menu choices over and over again as the automated
system narrows down the purpose of the customer’s call. Studies have shown that
customer satisfaction with some companies has gotten so bad, results directly
attributed to extremely poor customer service on the call center end of
interactions, that companies are losing customers. This can certainly be one
case where advanced technology and metrics has perhaps improved productivity on
the call center side of things, but takes much of the human element out, or at
the very least delays human interaction much too long for customer’s
tolerances.
How call center QA fits
into the equation
Customers calling companies realize
that in this day and age, they won’t be able to talk to who they want to right
away when they call companies with questions, concerns, inquiries, or other
reasons. They recognize that some degree of automation will be involved, and
can tolerate that to a certain extent. But when this automation serves to take
too long and becomes tedious for the customer, then perhaps things have gotten
out of hand. There’s a very fine line between tolerance and aggravation.
One extremely effective way of diagnosing customer
satisfaction with call centers and the means by which they handle customers for
their clients is to bring in a call center monitoring company that can monitor
and track all the processes and activity that take place between customers and
the call center. Quality assurance can be evaluated in great detail, with data
and information that the monitoring yields provided to company representatives
in clear, concise reporting. If the aforementioned situation is a major cause
of customer dissatisfaction, monitoring will immediately recognize this problem,
and will be diagnosed and reported on immediately. Measures can then be taken
to address this problem before it becomes too much of a great liability.
