Call Center WhatsApp Integration for Collection Agencies

You can know more about the collection module developed for collection companies, here.

Along with integrating the collection module into the call center solution, collection agencies can also adopt more technology tools to improve major KPIs. Call center WhatsApp integration is one of the technological boons that collection agencies can adopt. There are many amazing benefits of using this integrated solution.

Let us share more details about call center WhatsApp integration and how it is beneficial to collection agencies:

What is call center WhatsApp integration?

We integrate WhatsApp business into the call center solution of collection agencies. This integrated solution lets collection agencies use all features of the WhatsApp web such as:

  • Two-way chat
  • File share
  • Image share
  • Document and PDF share
  • And more

There are many benefits and use cases of using a call center solution with WhatsApp as an added communication channel in any collection company. Let me share the top benefits of using WhatsApp in collection agencies.

Save time

One of the major tasks of collection agencies is calling customers to give reminders related to their upcoming EMI dates. There are many customers that need a single reminder. For this type of customer, sending a WhatsApp message can be even more time savior than calling individually. One can also use the Smart WhatsApp tool, which allows WhatsApp broadcasting. This saves time even further. The customers with queries and concerns will revert to the WhatsApp messages. Agents can respond to these customers without leaving the window of their call center solution.

Give quick responses

Often customers come up with some small issues and queries related to EMI and its payment. Calling a customer support center and waiting for an agent to attend the call can be a lengthy process for them. It also keeps an agent occupied to handle the customer and then complete the disposition and other wrap-up processes. Unlike that, WhatsApp can speed up this whole process. Customers can ask their queries on the go and get a response within a few minutes. Agents also don’t need to invest time in the wrap-up process, plus, agents can handle multiple WhatsApp chats in parallel.

Provide rich communication via customers’ preferred communication channel

WhatsApp is a preferred mode of communication for many. With call center WhatsApp integration, a collection agency can make sure that it offers the required support to the customer via their favorite communication channel. It also lets agents use rich communication features like emoticons, file exchange, etc. to improve client satisfaction.

We offer call center WhatsApp integration as well as a smart WhatsApp tool to collection agencies. If you want to know more about these services or how we can help your collection agency, contact us.

Tips to Improve Call Center Efficiency

Tips to Improve Call Center Efficiency

Call centers invest in the best call center solution, CRM software, skilled agents, experienced managers, etc. To make sure the investment in the team, software, tools, etc. gives the expected returns, the call centers need to take further actions as well. One of the areas, call centers must work is call center efficiency. Call centers need to invest time and efforts to improve efficiency because improved efficiency can boost other results as well.

In this blog, we will share some tips, which will help call centers to improve efficiency:

1. Automate as much as you can

Call center solutions can help to introduce automation in a call center. The call center must identify areas and operations, which can be automated using the features offered by its call center solution. Automation will not only improve efficiency and productivity, but it will also increase accuracy as there are no human resources involved.

2. Internal communication facility

It is possible that agents need to communicate with other agents or their supervisors. For this, it is necessary to offer a reliable communication channel. This internal communication channel needs to be fast and simple. For example, our call center solution, DialShree has an internal chat feature for agents, so agents can communicate internally in a hassle-free manner. Agents also do not need to leave the screen of the call center dialer. This helps in increasing productivity and efficiency.

3. Use the idle time of agents

In any call center, it is necessary to give breaks to agents, so they can rejuvenate themselves. However, it is also necessary for call centers to make sure there is no idle time. The first thing to do is get the best call center software, so there are no system downtimes. If your call center cannot afford to get an advanced call center software, you can also use a hosted call center solution, which will offer all advanced features at cheaper rates. The next step is to use the right work policy and features, so downtime can be minimized. For example, if your agents are staying idle because you are using the sticky agent call routing rule, you should switch the strategy. Always focus on maximizing output to improve agent productivity.

4. Add unified communication channels

Nowadays, unified communication channels really help in improving customer satisfaction. That is why many call centers already have started using an omnichannel call center solution, which supports unified communication channels. Along with increasing customer satisfaction, adding omnichannel communication also helps in improving efficiency in the call centers.

These are the top 4 tips, which you can apply to increase the efficiency of your call center. You need to make sure that your call center software supports your approaches to improve efficiency.

If you do not have a required call center solution, we can help you. We offer hosted and proprietary call center solutions. Our offered solutions can meet your requirements of increasing efficiency and help in multiple other ways. For more information, contact us.

3. Run campaigns to generate sales

The call center solutions can be used to run incoming and outbound campaigns. Usually, call centers run campaigns only for customers, but you can also run your own campaigns. In fact, each call center should run outgoing campaigns to generate more leads and more sales. This is necessary to increase revenues constantly and not getting stuck at a single point.

4. Focus on customer experience

The competition in the market is really fierce. Therefore, it becomes necessary to get the best results from the campaign and follow the most professional approach. This will help you deliver a better customer experience. Higher customer satisfaction by delivering a better customer experience will result in increased customer loyalty and recurring revenue generation.

5. Upgrade the features of call center software

Once you start making more money and capturing more customers, it is highly recommended to upgrade the call center software. This will help you add more features and functionalities along with automation. Therefore, time can be saved more and accuracy can be increased even further. You should also invest in call center CRM integration. This integrated solution will let you deliver more personalized services to the customers to increase their satisfaction. If you are not using an omnichannel call center solution, you must adopt it even if you continue using an omnichannel call center solution. Upgrading the call center technology will help you deliver a better customer experience and capture more leads.

Conclusion

This approach will let you launch your own call center business with minimum investment. Moving ahead, you will be able to generate more revenues with minimum expenses, which will result in a higher ROI.

The collection of payment is often a troublesome and tedious process, but very much important. Therefore, many companies and organizations outsource this work to collection agencies. This business has become so big that a whole new industry has emerged, called, collection industry.

The collection agencies used to follow the process of physical visits at the debtors’ house or office and calling with traditional phone calls. As this industry started growing technology also started growing to support the work of the collection industry with minimum resources and efforts.

The call center solution has been in use by collection agencies for many years. To empower collection agencies, even more, technology companies have started bringing remarkable transformations. Let’s discuss the top 3 transformations, which help in payment and debt collection to collection agencies.

Collection agencies use different solutions to run the payment and debt collection campaigns. For example, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution is one of the most important software used in the collection industry. Agents need to refer to the record and history of the debtor to have a personalized conversation. If agents switch back and forth between call center solution and CRM software, it would waste time and possibly lead to some fumbles.

Call center CRM integration service integrates both of these solutions in a way that agents can use them with a lot of ease. The agents of collection companies can see complete customer records within the call center dialer during a live call. Any changes made in the record from the call center software during a live call get automatically updated in the CRM software and vice versa.

Major Tips for Effective Call Center Management by Industry Experts

Effective Call Center Management Tips

Call center management is a crucial part to run a call center or similar nature business. The COVID 19 pandemic has changed the dynamics, which demand fine-tuning of strategies. In this blog, we will share the top 4 tips to be more effective in the management of a call center and how to cope up with any situation now and in the future.

1. Move to the cloud

It is not only about a call center solution, it is also about your all infrastructure and IT tools. With changing dynamics, taking your IT infrastructure on cloud space would be better than having it on in-house servers. Remote access to the call center software is available even with on-premises servers if you use advanced call center solutions like DialShree. But, in many other aspects, cloud solutions are better. For example, within a minimum time, you can scale up the capacity of an omnichannel call center solution or any other software or tool.

2. Build a remote team

We all will agree that hiring international talent can help in improving performance, client satisfaction, etc. Of course, call center software similar to DialShree offers features to handle customers more effectively; still building a remote team will be helpful. For example, DialShree has a feature called Soundboard Avatars. This feature can be used to greet a customer in his native language. However, by hiring local agents from the country of foreign customers, you can have more benefits. The local agents will know the customs of dealing with customers in that country.

Moreover, we have faced a situation of lockdowns and the pandemic, which can work as a barricade. By building a remote team, you will be ready to handle any situation and continue working. Even if you do not want to hire agents from other countries, train your agents to work remotely without losing productivity.

3. Coach agents to be client-centric instead of being metric centric

In each call center, management teams define different metrics to monitor the performance of the call center as well as each individual agent. However, it is necessary to focus more on the customer and his or her satisfaction instead of metrics. For example, if the management team of a call center defines important metrics to be focused on is average call handling time. In that case, agents will keep their eyes at the time of the call instead of customers and their concerns.

Therefore, coach your agents to be empathetic. Ask them to focus on productivity, but at the same time, focus on customers and their satisfaction. This approach will help you go far.

4. Use the latest tools

Using a call center solution, which you bought 7 years back, will let your work keep going on. However, it will not bring improvements. Therefore, it is necessary to use the latest tools. Keep upgrading.

We offer a call center solution loaded with advanced features. To know more about our call center solution, DialShree, contact us.
