But many companies make the mistake of asking their team members to “double up” and take calls as well as perform their hired duties. That’s why we always recommend outsourcing a separate call center with inbound and outbound agent services. This is often when scenarios like this happen. Things get messy quickly.
Technical issues – These can include problems with the telephony system, call routing, and other technology that supports your contact center. Apart from number operability, calls being routed incorrectly within the contact center can lead to longer waittimes for your customers or agents being unable to handle the call.
The average call handling time (AHT) is also one of the oldest and most important key performance indicators (KPI) for contact center performances. It is much more critical in determining the economic model of a partnership when outsourcingcall center activities.
