BPO must run smoothly
To provide clients with the best possible service, business processes outsourcing bpo must run smoothly, without dead ends. We solved this problem by developing an algorithm that allows us to install it on streamlined rails in 9 steps:
Step 1. Determination of KPI standards to strive for; Step 2. Form a group for implementation into the client’s organization; Step 3. Distribute tasks among its participants; Step 4. Develop training programs for new members; Step 5. Search and recruit agents; Step 6. Train new managers; Step 7. Test the company's activities and agents' contributions; Step 8. Analytical data collection for timely process adjustments; Step 9. Smoothen the progress of the project towards the assigned goals.
Employee training
Much attention is paid to staff training. Our trainers have sufficient experience and qualifications to operate freely in the following areas:
- Creating competent training programs based on materials provided by the customer;
- Organizing Soft Skills training – skills that are not directly related to professional skills but contribute to establishing contact with -employees and clients, establishing empathy, and accurately handling objections;
- Preparing various types of training materials for online workshops;
- Developing and maintaining the company's Knowledge Base, which stores manuals and answers to all kinds of questions about its work.
Depending on the specifics of the order and the client’s wishes, we provide:
- Introductory training;
- Training to update and consolidate existing knowledge and skills;
- Remote learning;
- Opportunities for self-education with access to the knowledge base;
- Highly specialized training on the company's products and services.
It is worth noting that our teachers are native English speakers, but if necessary, like any serious business process outsourcing company, we organize trainings in other languages.
