Changing Demand for Outsourcing Services During Pandemic-led Holidays
This holiday season is going to be a lot different than the years we have passed. This year, we will get to see an increasing demand for cart sanitizers, holiday themed masks, curbside delivery teams and BPO voice process services outsourcing for the seasonal rush. Alongside the increase in customer orders and enquiries, the push to hire contractual workers and outsourcing voice and non voice BPO services in Jamaica and more such in-demand offshore locations like El Salvador has started earnestly this holiday season – in some instances, months earlier than the previous year. But the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly reshaped the types of services retailers and ecommerce vendors are looking to outsource.
As more shoppers shy away from
brick and mortar stores, retailers also have to shift their businesses online.
Instead of direct communication and face to face conversations, now, they have
to be prepared for phone and chat conversations. Not just ecommerce sectors,
the increasing online financial transaction for holiday shopping has also led
BFSI sector to take measures so that they can reduce customer attrition rate.
One way to go about it is financial services outsourcing. Many telecommunication call centers have experienced in serving financial services companies who
can help them establish credibility around the holidays.
Now, coming to ecommerce vendors,
instead of hiring in-store sales agents, they have to focus more towards
warehouse and inventory management, order processing and after-sales support. At
the same time, they are also looking for new services like call center services,
safety and sanitation team and scheduling appointments for in-store visitors.
All these, while ensuring least exposure to coronavirus seems like an
additional burden for businesses this festive season, However, with the help of
outsourcing service providers who not only offer BPO voice process services,
but also new-age services as per demand, much of these objectives can be
achieved.

Implementing workforce optimization
Implementing a workforce
optimization program that includes unending quality management can be an
influential tool. Quality management and technology expertise are two key
factors in boosting the customer experience since it identifies where your team
is performing better in delivering exceptional service while unearthing chances
for extra training and coaching. Tech support process outsourcing is
considered by many companies who want to show their tech-savvy side to
customers.
Integrated customer care services
Shouldn’t customer support be even
more important after the pandemic? We have seen how some companies have focused
more on prompt
customer care and survived the saturated market situation. There
are many businesses that didn’t give efforts towards customer service and
expected their existing employees to solve customer enquiries that have never
been encountered before. As a result, the business deviates from core
objectives or the operations become slow..
Today, in order for a telecommunication call center to deliver results as expected, third party customer care team needs to be an integral part of the client company. Agents or the team that handles BPO voice process services are the frontline communicator and face of the client when customers contact the business. Hence, it is essential that the outsourcing service provider is well acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the business. The information that channelizes through customer engagements gives businesses insight into performance. Recurring problems indicate changes in processes that need to be made and constant praise or out passing expectations ensures sales tactics or product lines and customer service management is successful.
By integrated customer care service we imply:
- Inventory visibility to customer service providers so that they can answer customers’ queries more promptly and accurately
- Multi-channel order support with very specific details and central database to get quick insight into customers’ needs
- In-depth knowhow of inventory status for coordination between supplier, logistics and customers
Spreading holiday spirit with customization
Whether you are up for financial
services outsourcing or tech support process outsourcing; whether
you need expert hands to look after your back office or just telecommunication
answering service, creating contents around holiday cheer is important because
it puts customers into the festive bandwagon. Treating holiday customers to
seasonally relevant greetings, offers and voicemails can do wonders. This year,
adding a safety note with holiday greetings can put a smile on customers’
faces.
Helping customers beat the rush
Customers should not be made to
wait for long during the holidays because time is precious. Leveraging call
center software saves time in customer service and also gives callback option
to customers who might like to call back rather than waiting on hold.
Transferring their enquiries straight to voicemail is also useful in having a
positive impact on customer satisfaction during pandemic-led holidays.
