Depending on the complexity and scope of the campaign, we can normally begin making calls within 3-4 weeks.

We currently operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time Monday through Friday, however, if needed we can accommodate any hours you require.

To encourage a more natural interaction with your customers, our customer care are trained to engage your customers in conversations based on your company’s core offering and talking points for the particular campaign. These talking points can be supplied by you or crafted by our Marketing Support Services team based on your input. We can also assist with crafting direct mail pieces and emails to go out before or after a call campaign.

Contact frequency is based on your requirements outlined in the scope of the project.

You will receive daily reports that reflect all call activity and dispositions for each call. These reports include number of calls made or offered; calls handled; service level; no answer/busy; left message; disconnects/bad numbers; successful contacts/conversions; remove from call list; etc. Specific reports can be developed and delivered to you based on your requirements.

Our competitive pricing structure is based on the following criteria:

• Projected call volumes
• Length and terms of the contract
• Inbound or outbound program
• Complexity of the program
• Required skill sets of the customer care professional

Because every business has its unique requirements, we work with you to create a pricing agreement that ensures success for the company and allows Outlook Business Solutions to deliver on its mission of providing knowledge-based jobs for the blind and visually impaired.

Every Outlook Business Solutions customer care associate goes through a rigorous selection process and possesses the success competencies required to ensure they are a right fit for our client’s project. The customer care associates identified for a specific campaign are trained on your requirements and the technology used for the campaign.

Once initial training is completed, our team lead continues the process through daily coaching sessions and hands-on situational training with the team members. The team lead works with the quality assurance team to identify areas of improvement to ensure a quality customer service experience and program success.
