Outsourced E-commerce Call Center Services

BRAND INVOLVEMENT

Brand immersion at our e-commerce call center begins with orientation, is formalized in training and reinforced in daily operations throughout the associate’s tenure. Methods for immersion include:

• Brand Specialist training at your retail locations, headquarters or field operations to acclimate the team to your culture and processes.
• Rapport building to create a stronger connection between specialist and client.
• In-class training to both convey/test and process knowledge.
• Systems and security training as well as Global Response orientation for process and culture.
• Ongoing training, including for new initiatives, changes in process and/or product.
• Seasonal training to support the introduction of collections, product releases or enrollment periods.
• Product displays that provide associates with a tactile, brand-focused experience, allowing them to easily discuss key product attributes with customers.
• Marketing materials and signage to support branding of your contact center space.
• Complete Knowledgebase for instant access to product and process information.

Account Engagement

We ensure outstanding customer experiences by being first-class communicators — both with your customers and with your organization.

To a much greater degree than other e-commerce call centers, our account managers communicate with you and the Brand Specialists on your account to keep everyone aligned.

We facilitate direct communications between you and your Global Response account manager, who strongly identifies with your enterprise, brand and products.

In fact, the account manager and team are conditioned to think of themselves as working for you with a singular focus on your best interests.

E-commerce customer support requires a philosophy backed by people, processes and systems.

With the right focus on customer care, the contact center is elevated to a profit center, an experience center.

According to a recent Walker study, 88% of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. By 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator.

Aligned with your brand, we can provide the e-commerce call center service that you require and create an experience befitting your unique business.

Systems

Our experience integrating your customer relations management (CRM), case management or ticketing system provides Brand Specialists with a documented record of your customer’s transactions.

This presents a searchable history which paves the way for a seamless resolution regardless of the channel the customer uses or the specialist they reach for e-commerce call center support.

Purchase history also means higher success rates for up-selling and cross-selling, because we understand your customers and can suggest products that are right for them.

Alignment

Our goal for our e-commerce call center solutions is to be completely aligned with your customers’ interests.

‘We customize training and development programs in order to encourage passion for your brand.

We understand the importance of first-contact resolution (FCR) for your customers.

Blend that with our repertoire of customer service practices and skills, and the result is an experience that creates brand loyalty, enhances sales and leads to higher customer lifetime value (LTV).
