Steve Brubaker is one of the nicest people you will meet in the call center business and he knows his stuff, really well. This is why I was so excited to read his new blog where he talks about how important call centers are to the US economy and how important it is to provide good customer service.
With all the companies offshoring and thinking they have o have agents in third-world countries, he asks:

Why do customers have to wait on hold for lengthy periods of time to reach call centers? Could it be because the bean counters are determining the number of agents needed and "acceptable" hold times based on historical data showing when people tend to hang-up in queue?
Why are Agents being hired who do not speak understandable English? Could it be because the "cost" of agents in third world countries is a fraction of wages here in the
It is no secret that more customer service agents are being off shored by the day and invariably the quality of customer service keeps diminishing. Customers will ultimately tell corporate

Hi..All
i just create a call center blog and try to collect call center article, i think this blog will help me for recommend.
so kindly please review my blog at http://callcenter-corner.blogspot.com
thanks so much
Managing an entire contact center and keeping the customers happy is very crucial to any business...companies must periodically upgrade their management system to make things flowing smoothly for the representatives as well as for the customers.
Yes it's true that most companies primary requirement is fluency in English but that does not always end up being the case and that does not always mean that the English is understandable. I have actually gone to the lengths of changing my credit card company because I got fed up with having to repeat myself and never getting the help I need or my questions answered due to a language barrier.
I'm not opposed to ousourcing but I think that companies who chose to do so have to include some level of random qc.
Rays communications provide Call Center Services, Inbound Call Center Services, call center outsourcing , Telemarketing Services ,Outbound Call Center and BPO Services from India-Noida
For me it's not about how you are fluent in english but it is about how you interact with customers well , because even you are fluent in english but doesn't know how to interact well, you can't attract customers to comeback with your business. In the philippines, most call center representative are not fluent in english but they are popular among clients because of their good attitude among clients.
Hia I got call center blog also, if there's somebody who want to trade links or want

By the newly elected president of the United States, hope that Obama won’t eradicate the call center outsourcing industry and the millions of people who are working behind it.
What now, Obama wins, he’s a good president with good advocacy. And we are all now in great peril.
You are right its a genuine problem faced by all customers in customer care services.Actually all call centers companies improves our quality to hire customer care executives who have good understandable English and basic knowledge of computer technology.
Mostly young and with freshest ideas, call center agents age ranges from 18-30 years old. With these age bracket, call center industry is getting the best employees, the greatest manpower and the most energy.
