Finding the right direct response call center for your marketing campaigns is a key to your business success. The call center must have the capabilities and experience to handle your campaign successfully. A major challenge in selecting a call center to handle your direct response campaign is proper staffing. If they don’t schedule their staff accurately it will lead to performance issues . You need to forecast your projected call volume as accurately as possible. You should provide a media schedule too if it’s available. Make sure that the direct response call center of choice can staff according to your call arrival patterns. As part of the due diligence process, you should be aware of the call center industry service level averages (SLAs). The direct response call center needs to adhere to call center service level averages whenever possible. The average speed to answer should be 80% of the calls answered in 20 seconds. The abandonment rate should be 5% or less. Any rate higher than 5% can lead to lost revenue. Always keep in mind, a disgruntled customer may not return. The average handling time is also a factor. **End Summary** Topics: direct response call center]]> direct response]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Telesales Services LLC is a premier provider of direct response call center services.

CONTROL, is the magic word. Control is the key to winning in nearly anything. Ball control is the winning way in basketball, football and for a pitcher in baseball. It is the way to win at soccer and ping-pong. It is also what Tiger Woods is the master of in golf. Control in business means to be in command, to have mastery over sales, production and most importantly, costs. A businessperson who is in control is a successful operator. In these trying financial times, control over productivity and expenses is especially important. If a business is to survive the economic crisis, they must maintain their service while cutting costs to the bone. How can this be done? Outsourcing key business elements like Customer Service is one of the answers. Instead of the cost of direct employees, a business may contract with a call center and have no added expenditure for the benefits paid to hourly or salaried employees.
