How can IT Help Give Rise to Better Customer Relations?
by Ekon Keita Marketing ManagerCustomer relations are just as important
as air for the BPO call centre industry. All those who have been working in the
BPO sector for a considerable amount of time would be well aware of the fact
that the entire BPO sector revolves around one thing, i.e. customer relations.
Sour relations with your customers and complainants are no less than a death
knell for the BPO industry. BPOs in South Africa (and in other parts of
the world) work endlessly on maintaining and fostering an efficient business
process management network.
In all fairness, The BPO industry is one
of the most important parts of the world’s tertiary (service) sector. No matter
what the issue faced by the customer is, a BPO executive is always ready to
answer all of your questions and queries. To be very honest, the IT boom has
taken the BPO industry to an entirely new level.
Here is how business process
management has reached the next level because of the IT boom:
Better Response Time
It goes without saying that the response
time has reduced significantly ever since the IT boom began making inroads into
the BPO sector. Every single thing, right from the customer queries to the
responses from the BPO executives, can be recorded and shared online. Plus,
there is absolutely no need to call the BPO executives. The customers can make
themselves heard on social media handles, such as the likes of Facebook and
Twitter. The response time has reduced quite significantly because a company
executive will respond to your social media query within no time. Well, that’s
because anybody can read your post if it is there on social media. That’s just
one part of business process management that has been positively
impacted because of the IT boom. Similarly, there are several other parts as
well.
Dedicated Services for All (Fragmentation and Specialisation)
Yes. Queries and questions can be of
different types (and kinds). Here is an example: queries can deal with
technical problems. Customers can complain about malfunctioning products. Also,
there are people who wish to know more about the product and/or service they
have bought. Now, a BPO in South Africa (and in other parts of the
world) will have a dedicated team of business process outsourcers. This team
will have specialists who will be able to question all of the
customer/complainant’s questions, be it technical questions or the ones dealing
with the newly-launched product or service. There are people in a BPO team that
are comfortable answering all of your questions. Just post your query online
and the BPO executive who knows the answer will answer your query promptly.
Everything is Recorded (and Can be Revisited)
The best part about the IT boom in the
BPO industry is: nothing ever escapes the eye. All of it is recorded (and can
be revisited with ease). A business process outsourcer will be able to
revisit your query if you call him the second time. Also, your entire calling
history (and queries) is available with the BPO executives at all times. In
this way, they are able to provide you with reliable solutions to all of your
problems and queries. So, it can be said that the IT boom has ended up making
customer relationships simpler and better..
