Liveops Launches 2018 Call Center Industry Assessment

March 23, 2018 | Press Release

Survey to reveal key enterprise challenges in flexibility, sourcing and quality, and their impact on contact center operations and performance

SCOTTSDALE, AZ March 23, 2017 Liveops, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand virtual contact center services, today announced that it has launched an industry assessment to evaluate contact center performance based on the top criteria affecting customer service delivery. The survey helps customer service leaders determine how effectively their contact centers deliver against critical business objectives such as flexibility, sourcing, training and customer service quality.

“It’s common for companies to spread their contact center business among many vendors, and it’s striking how much the results can vary,” said Greg Hanover, CEO of Liveops. “Our customers tell us that taking time to evaluate their contact centers helped them determine which deliver a competitive advantage, and which are a drag on the bottom line.”

Companies that evaluate and improve their contact center strategy are poised to capture greater market share. According to American Express Global Customer Barometer (2017), 52 percent of US customers did not complete a transaction due to poor customer service, whereas those who have good experiences spend 17 percent more money.

The contact center assessment digs into key factors affecting customer experience:

  • High attrition and overhead: Time and money is invested in training agents, to only see the majority of them leave after a year.
  • Sourcing for skills: Traditional contact centers are limited to sourcing the talent available within a reasonable driving distance.
  • Poor call handling: Long wait times, blocking contact with live humans, and not getting quick resolution to problems all increase customer churn.
  • Lack of business agility: Call volumes spike dramatically and for customers on hold, those precious minutes seem like an eternity.

Survey respondents receive a customized report, evaluating where they stack up and identifying areas for improvement across three capabilities—quality, flexibility and engagement—with specific recommendations to help companies make the most of their contact center strategy and deliver better customer experiences.
