In-House vs. Outsourced Call Center Costs


When you're considering whether to outsource your customer service, take into account the hidden costs of skill, scale and infrastructure.

Skill
Effective in-house customer service requires a dedicated staff that you have to recruit, train, manage and motivate. Be prepared to teach them the “hard” (technical) and “soft” (people) skills necessary to properly represent your brand personality. If you don't invest in skilled reps, you risk your brand's reputation at a critical customer touch point.

Scale
Peak hours, seasonal spikes and surprise marketing campaigns can make scheduling and workforce management a serious challenge. You'll have to invest in the right management, software and processes to ride out the ups and downs of inbound call volumes. Too many agents standing by? Wasting money. Too few? You're alienating customers and hurting your brand.

Infrastructure
The right outsourced call center shoulders the investment in dedicated resources—capital expenditures—that are often difficult to justify on your balance sheet. A call center operation requires capital costs, including real estate, telecom and networking, up-to-date hardware and software, human resources, disaster recovery infrastructure, insurance and more.

Your capital (including human) might be better invested in building your core competency than in building and managing a first-rate in-house call center.
