A customer service representative is responsible for interacting and liaising with customers to handle queries, complaints, process order requests and provide information on existing and upcoming products and services of an organisation. They are the first point of contact for customers requiring assistance and are experts at solving problems using CRM databases.
Customer service representative duties and tasks can include:
These customer service tasks are particularly well-suited to being outsourced. Organisations free up their local service teams’ time by sending these tasks to outsourced customer service representatives. This allows your onshore team to focus on performing higher value, revenue generating work.
TALK TO US
Customer service representatives need to be empathetic and understand how to remain calm under pressure. When customers are stressed or upset, these representatives need to be able to provide a calming environment to help solve any issues as quickly as possible. Being able to multitask and answer phone calls while manoeuvring CRM databases is a key skill in addressing customer queries.
Outsourcing service providers recruit customer service representatives the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:
A higher education degree or certificate is not required to be a successful customer service representative. Being familiar with computer software and telephone systems is a plus and will require less training. Interpersonal skills such as empathy, active listening and problem-solving are essential to ensure high customer satisfaction levels are maintained.
Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation's customer experience requirements. Hiring highly proficient customer service representatives will ensure that your company’s image is maintained. These representatives who can efficiently solve customer queries and provide excellent customer service in the process can free up your onshore team’s time to generate more revenue and develop customer relationships.
Organisations are able to appreciate the added benefits that come from offshoring customer service representative duties to the Philippines, including:
Increased employee satisfaction
Give your local team peace of mind by relieving them of any unnecessary tasks and sharing the workload with an offshore team or team member. This will help increase employee satisfaction within your business. With your customer service representative team able to focus on what they were hired to do, you can expect to see a positive change in your working atmosphere.
Cost savings
Hiring local staff can prove very costly to an organisation. Hiring an offshore team member that can assist your local team with routine customer service representative tasks for a fraction of the price will help you control costs in your organisation, saving up to 70% when compared to hiring locally.
Business growth
Hiring full time offshore customer service representative can help increase profits and supercharge your business growth. By adding extra capability through an offshore team, your local employees will have additional capacity to take on more work and grow your business sustainably.
Efficiency increase
Sending daily, time consuming, repeatable systems administrator tasks offshore will allow your local team to take on more work. By sharing the workload between your onshore and offshore team, you will notice a drastic increase in efficiency and productivity within your organisation.
