When you need to manage an unprecedented surge in inbound calls

Overview:

• The client had an existing team of specialists overrun by incoming calls, creating long wait times and missed calls and resulting in a poor customer experience and damage to their brand
• They engaged us to provide additional contact centre support, initially for handling the overflow of calls only
• By gaining an in-depth knowledge of the client’s services we now handle all calls, live chat and emails – end to end

Challenge:

• The client required an urgent solution
• The client did not have the time to expand their inbound capabilities
• The Client required the solution to have no negative impact to their brand and client experience

Solution:

• We started with a simple service using FAQ’s and call flows to triage the more difficult issues for escalation to the client
• We trained our agents to handle the calls as efficiently as possible and used our client’s feedback to help improve the service
• We created subject matter experts to further assist with the more complex queries without need to escalate to the client
• We met regularly with the client to ensure our approach stayed aligned with expectations
• We reported regularly on all calls handled and used this information as the basis for ongoing improvement

The final solution included:

• We implemented our time-based Help Desk service as a cost effective, flexible and scalable solution
• We added to this our Client Portal to provide visibility of all call handle activity, inclusive of access to audio recordings of calls handled
• We built a custom Business Intelligence (BI) dashboard that showed call patterns, call types and resolution status
• The client now has the confidence in our capability to refocus their team on other priorities and that they will never miss a call again
