4 Things to Do When Planning to Outsource to an Inbound Call Center
Hope so, because if done wrong, outsourcing can doom you to an early bankruptcy, and you would never allow that, would you? So you are carefully exerting
every effort to make sure the venture is worth the risk and the investment. During the planning or reviewing stages, did you:
1. Think of the benefits, not just the costs
Outsourcing sure saves you a lot of money, but it will take some time before you will see a return of investment, so you will need to invest more before
your projected and actual savings start to match. But think not of the costs, but the benefits that you can gain: Increased operational efficiency, more
space (to set up more equipment or accommodate more guests or concessionaires), more time and resources (to work on new projects), flexibility (to adjust
to economic challenges), and stress-free management.
2. Find ways to achieve balance
Achieving balance should be the most important goal when outsourcing, but sadly many businesses have not been doing this. They sacrifice their most loyal
and hard-working in-house employees – the people vital to the success of outsourcing. You must learn how to create a balance between working with an
offshore call center and with your in-house employees, who are likely to be more loyal and have a deeper understanding of your business and customers.
3. Learn to maintain control
Does outsourcing mean giving up control of the outsourced tasks? It shouldn’t be. Though you give your outsourced staff some level of control so they can
perform to your standards, don’t rely too much on them, lest you lose control of your own business. Maintain control by getting your in-house staff
involved in the outsourcing process. Train them to manage the outsourced staff (but not to be bossy towards them).
4. Talk to your in-house employees
Where do your in-house employees fit in once your Philippine-based inbound call center enters the picture? Before you even meet with representatives from
call centers, make sure you talk to your in-house employees first and hear them out.
You will want to keep the best, the most loyal, and all those who manage your core activities. You will need them to help make the outsourcing partnership
work. You will need to help them adjust to the changes that will take place once the partnership comes into effect.
If you’ve done all four of these, then you are all set to outsource. Success lies ahead in your outsourcing efforts.
