To create a call center, first choose which kind of business phone setup you want to go for, which will dictate the type of call center software you need to install. You can read our guide through the available options here.
With fully virtual call center software from Aircall, it’s easy to set up your own professional call center using existing devices and no new hardware. Your second big decision must be whether you want to employ your own staff as call center agents, or an external third-party call center. To fully optimize your call center, make sure your company implements the core call center best practices.
Thoroughly train your agents to use call center software effectively, as well as the necessary phone etiquette, customer support skills, and scripts. This is essential when building a call center with your own team, but equally important when using third-party services. Consistent communication and regular briefings about product changes are vital. Remember to explain security procedures with care, especially when outsourcing your call center work. Agents you’ve never met will be handling confidential and sensitive information, so outsourced call centers should always be vetted for their security policies and practices.
