Customer Service Outsourcing

The Benefits of Outsourcing Customer Service

With the stark increase in online transactions in recent years, more and more consumers expect immediate assistance. For example, 71% of consumers who are shopping via eCommerce methods expect assistance within five minutes and 93% find real time assistance, either via chat boxes or phone, as very helpful. Not only do consumers expect their orders to arrive as quickly as possible, they also expect to receive help and have their questions answered almost immediately. This task alone can be very challenging for businesses who are also juggling logistics and growing their brand.

Therefore, many companies have turned to outsourcing their customer service. This can have many benefits, including:

  • Cutting Costs – Customer service can be expensive. Hiring staff and resources for a call center can add up very quickly, and not dedicating money to customer relations can have a negative impact of losing sales and loss of brand loyalty. Outsourcing customer service can help brands save money while also maintaining a high level of service that consumers now expect.
  • Saving Time – Customer service is not only expensive, but it can be time consuming. As a brand, there are likely many other areas that need your focus.
  • More Coverage –  If you plan on providing after hours or weekend support in addition to multiple language options, outsourcing can provide these perks at an affordable cost.
  • Customer Retention – The sales process doesn’t end after the purchase is made, it continues through to delivery and returns. Customer loyalty requires a high level of service throughout the entire process.

ShipCalm’s Customer Service Process

  1. We interview you to determine you Frequently Asked Questions and the general policies.  Often we’ll do this by reviewing previous email threads with your customers.
  2. We implement a customer service tracking software that tracks all inbound emails, phone calls and website chats so that you can stay in the know about every inquiry
  3. Anytime we get an issue that we can solve based on the FAQ and standard policies, we seamlessly escalate the ticket to you so that you can address the inquiry.  Once we have a resolution we’ll update our knowledge base so that we never have to escalate issues like that again unless you want us to.
  4. We’ll provide reporting on response rates, customer happiness, frequent inquiries, common product issues and more.
