In today’s tough economy, companies are under extraordinary pressure to succeed…and to succeed quickly. Some thrive under such pressure. Others falter and get pushed aside. 

The new buzz words on the street are SEO, IRM and social media; all which promise to drive more customers to your website.  In all the articles we have read, one simple element is left out; how the calls are being handled!

Do you have a system in place for call center training, monitoring and skills development?  The single most important resource a company has is its people. So, the more focused and driven employees are, the more likely a company is to be successful.

Companies should not assume that their employees have the organizational phone skills to move a prospect into a sale.  Call center management strategies and procedure manuals are an important part of your total CRM solution.

Listening to Tracking Numbers

Many car dealers and business owners own a few dozen call tracking numbers from companies such as CallSource or WhosCalling.  These numbers are placed on different websites, newspaper ads or print publications.  These calls are recorded and can be played back via a web browser to review how calls are being handled by your staff. 

The fact though is that many business owners have not set processes in place to score the calls to improve their customer service and sales processes.  Companies are driving more calls and web visits through SEO, SEM and Social Media but have neglected to test new call scripts and to measure the impact of professionally managed call center operations.

Do you have a weekly process in place to listen to a subset of your sales, service and parts calls?
