Call Center - Basic Customer Service Solutions Over the Phone

What it is: A call center is something we all know about, but might not be able to define. The basic definition of a call center is a place to outsource your basic call needs such as:

• Information gathering
• Call handling from advertising
• Conference registrations
• Retail ordering

No matter the industry you are in, a great customer experience is vital to the success of your small business. There are enough challenges when growing a business without adding poor customer service to the mix.

Customer service leads to happy customers, and happy customers keep buying your products and services. It really is that simple on the surface, but there is more nuance.

Call Handling Hero® — Sandra

Our May Call Handling Hero® Sandra received a call from a resident of a high-rise because water was leaking into his apartment from above. Flooding is never something anyone wants to have to deal with, and she knew she had to take action. Sandra quickly realized something wasn’t right, though, because the name of the apartment complex didn’t show up on her list of properties. She called the management company; it turns out they had just acquired the building, and the transition process was ongoing.

Whether you should provide great customer service isn’t a question, yet determining what form of department or partnership is right for your company can be perplexing. Factors including cost, time and effort all weigh heavily on the decision on whether to build and train an in-house customer service department or to outsource and partner with someone like an answering service.

HIPAA Compliance and Technology

HIPAA compliance is a vital part of any medical practice, especially as technology continues to advance. It is more important than ever that medical practices are safeguarding their protected patient health information (PHI). This is especially important for medical practices that work with partners to handle any of their sensitive information, such as billing or patient calls.

Call Handling Hero® — Michelle

Michelle faced a logistical problem in the waning hours of the night. The ABA offices started receiving calls from patients from an office we didn’t service. This lead to patients being unable to find solutions as there was nowhere to send them. Luckily, the medical professional on-call was able to reach Michelle and she lept into action.
