"Improve Customer Service with Virtual Call Center Technology: Best Practices for Reducing Costs and Complexity"

We are experiencing a major paradigm shift in how companies interact with and service their customers. While the contact center remains on the front line for Customer Service, hosted call center technologies are changing the game as they allow organizations to increase customer satisfaction while eliminating capital expenditures and lowering overall operating costs. Both small and large enterprises are now moving away from outdated, premise-based solutions and reaping the benefits of cloud-based contact centers.

Join us on Wednesday, August 11th, for a complimentary webinar and hear Sharon Pettigrew, recognized expert in call center design, outsourcing, and operations benchmarks, explore the latest trends in customer service and the numerous improvements achieved by leveraging virtual call center technology.

You’ll also learn how Direct Interactions, a call center outsourcer, has harnessed the power of virtual call center technology to increase both customer satisfaction and service levels by:

• Reducing agent handling time and increasing first call resolutions
• Lowering agent turnover and absenteeism
• Providing more efficient call routing through a wider pool of agents
• Ensuring business continuity despite outages, adverse weather, etc.
• Leveraging call recording for quality monitoring, and
• Staffing efficiently for seasonality, 24/7 and international needs
