The art of communicating with clients has evolved a lot, especially since the arrival of the internet. Nowadays, you need an omnichannel strategy, if you don’t want to lose potential customers along the way. The call center has become the center of the world for all companies, as they need to be able to answer to everyone, no matter where they enter into the customer journey path. Here are five essential features that it needs to take in account, if you want your company to remain healthy.

VoIP Business Phone System

If the company hasn’t yet transferred its landlines to a VoIP service provider, that is the first step it will need to take. Without it, all the solutions below won’t be available. Furthermore, the cost of communication will simply be too high, in comparison to the competitors already working with a VoIP phone system. You can get more information on the subject on Aircall's website. This move will enable you to work through the Cloud, where all the software you use will be stored. Everyone working inside the company will have access to it, no matter where they are located, which means that they don’t have to work from the office anymore.

Analytics

If you don’t have an analytics program, you will never be able to evaluate the quality of your call center. Certain metrics need to be tracked, in order to understand what your employees are doing well and what needs to change, to be more efficient. The results you get from analytics enable you to have a full picture of the way the call center is operated and the results it provides to your customers. You should at least analyze the average speed to answer, the resolution level by number of calls, the customer satisfaction and the average hold time.

CRM

The CRM is the heart of the call center. It is where all the information about customers is held. Every time someone calls, the CRM software being connected to the business phone system, will identify the client and open his file on the screen of the agent, who is about to start the conversation. From there, he will be able to go back on his record, in order to help solve the situation. The agent will also enter the new information inside the CRM software, so that it can be complete, the next time the customer calls again.

Social Media

All your social media accounts need to be linked to your call center. Otherwise, you will find yourself with a large number of people sending you requests, that will never be answered. Most of your customers are on at least one social media. If they decide this is the way they will communicate with your firm, you then have to be ready and take it in account, so you can respond rapidly.

Communication with Employees

Communication should start inside your company. There needs to be a software that enables each department to communicate together, if a request comes in that necessitates particular help. If you don’t have the right program, you will run into some difficulty.
