Call Center Customer Service
Do you think that customer service is getting worse? You’re probably right…
The ACSI just release the 2010 results of their multi-year study on customer service and found that it is…dropping. Yep. So if you feel like customer service is going down, you’re probably right.
With a few exceptions, it is declining.
What can we do about it? I really don’t believe that we are getting up in the morning and saying to ourselves in the mirror, “what can I do to offer worse customer service?” I believe that those in the industry want to do a better job of offering customer service.
Some claim that it is all about the fragile economy and consumer sensitivity. If that is the case, now is your chance to jump on it and beat out all of your competition in customer satisfaction.
Greater customer satisfaction leads to:
- Customers who buy more from you
- Customers who spread good word of mouth about you
- More profitable companies
So, things are looking bad across the board…now is your chance to really shine. What are you doing to shine? Share your ideas with us here or with me at

TCO Study Confirms: Save Up to 40% with the Cloud
It’s always been common sense that if you switch from a premise-based solution to the cloud, the savings (both in dollars and time) is substantial. However, a new TCO report comparing premise to hosted contact center software from Frost & Sullivan shows that not only is that assumption correct, but the savings get better and bigger the larger the contact center and the more solutions being used.
It’s always been thought that enterprise contact centers couldn’t benefit from a hosted solution. However, the study shows that over 5 years, a 500 seat contact center using full-function cloud solutions could save 43%. That’s no small amount, no matter how you slice the numbers.
Following are the key highlights of the report:
• Hosted contact center services significantly reduce TCO over premise-based systems in both three- and five-year scenarios for all 12 of the configurations analyzed.
• The larger the contact center, the higher the savings with the hosted model. Over five years 100 seat centers averaged 23% savings, 250 seat centers averaged 34% savings , and 500 seat centers averaged 43% savings.
• The more contact center applications hosted in the cloud, the more money saved. In a 100-seat contact center, for example, the five-year savings jumps from 9% for a hosted ACD to 23% for a full-function, nine-application hosted system.
All of the study’s TCO calculations take into account the costs of systems and applications, implementation, maintenance and upgrades, and hosted per-agent, per-month fees.
| 5-Year TCO Hosted Cost Savings % Over Corresponding Premise Deployment | |||
| Seats | |||
| Configurations | 100 | 250 | 500 |
| ACD Only | 9% | 10% | 19% |
| ACD+ | 21% | 28% | 39% |
| Full Function | 23% | 34% | 43% |
After seeing the numbers, and considering that with the cloud, you’re always running the most current version of the software, I guess the only question left to explore is why a company wouldn’t switch.

SIP Call Center
ECTtelecom SIP Call Center Solutions
ECTtelecom is the leading VoIP SIP Trunking solution for inbound (toll free), outbound and predictive dialing call centers. The only thing required to set up SIP Trunking are personal computers (PC’s) and a broadband connection. Your SIP Call Center agents can be located anywhere in the world to utilize our multiple SIP Trunking carrier networks.
A SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Trunk is a connection between two network elements, a PBX and a service provider.
Although a SIP Trunk can be viewed as a phone line delivered over an IP trunk connection to a provider network using Ethernet, broadband, copper, etc., voice is not the only thing the SIP signaling protocol can handle. SIP manages not only voice but also data packets, enabling everything from voice and video, to chat, email, presence, collaboration, dynamic concurrent call sessions, conferencing, contact center management and business continuity. SIP Trunking is rapidly replacing TDM long distance service for call centers and contact centers.
SIP is a protocol supporting a user to user communications paradigm that utilizes any devise, any application, anywhere, anytime.
ECTtelecom offers the bundle option of SIP Trunking and TDM Inbound (Toll Free) and Outbound Service with the inContact Cloud Based Call Center Solution. InContact is the World’s largest service provider of Cloud Based Contact Center Solutions. Experts say “Incontact is the clear leader.”
