What is a Call Centre?
A call centre is a centralised office used for receiving or transmitting a large volume of enquiries. This is usually by telephone from both new and existing customers. Call centres traditionally offer customer support, handle queries, perform telemarketing, conduct market research and so much more. An inbound call centre is operated by a company to administer incoming product or service support or information enquiries from consumers. Whereas outbound call centres are operated for telemarketing, for solicitation of charitable or political donations, debt collection, market research, emergency notifications, and urgent or critical needs such as blood banks. However, gone are the days of a call centre simple making and receiving calls. In the modern age, the call centre must also be able to handle different channels of communication including IM, Social Media and many more. TRUENAV offers advanced Omnichannel solutions like XCally Motion that allow you to bring your call centre into the modern age. This is done by enabling the incorporation of different communication channels into a singular agent experience.

Planning is key to the success
Planning is key to the success of every endeavour and the road to improving your business’s telecommunications is no different. First, begin by making your objectives clear. Having a defined goal will help you understand your needs. Secondly, it is imperative that you map the parameters of this new endeavour. Some things to consider includes; the size of your business, your short-term and long-term goals, the number of agents in your business. This is also important for getting resources like office equipment, size of the workplace and most importantly, what kind of telecoms products and services you need in order to have a call centre.
