Start-up Support Outsource
As we know, time is money. Deciding how your start-up company spends its time and resources is one of the most important pieces of strategising you will do as a manager. Part of ensuring your team is using their time as wisely as possible can mean cutting out tasks which could be done by personnel less qualified in IT. That’s why IT providers of many different descriptions can reap the rewards of outsourcing their start-up frontline support. Reasons why you should choose Customer Umbrella for the job:
Round the clock support
While you might have a dedicated team, in many cases it is unlikely that an IT provider will want to set up round the clock support for their clients. But what if something goes wrong in the middle of the night? Customers value being reassured, and by outsourcing your first line customer support to us you can ensure that there is always someone to lend a sympathetic ear. Even if they won’t be able to solve the problem, they can calm the customer down, provide essential advice, and let them know when a specialist will respond to their request.
FILTER OUT ‘DUD’ REQUESTS
As an IT professional, you might have had a chuckle at how many times the ‘turn it off and switch it on again’ advice has solved the problem. Other typical problem-solving procedures might be to reset a connection or reinstall a program. Outsourced first line customer support can diagnose problems and provide more than simple solutions. Without you having to get involved, allowing you to focus on the more serious issues your customers have. You can really rest assured while not around our experts will take care of your customers.
A ‘WHITE LABEL’ OFFERING

This means there will be nothing to differentiate them from your company as far as the customer is concerned. You can reap the rewards of an additional ‘arm’ to your business, at the fraction of the cost required to operate the department in house.

Whether you want to gauge how your product or service is performing or want to find out how you can provide better services to your customers, there is no more effective way than hearing it directly from your customers. While underrated by many companies, customer satisfaction surveys give you an almost exact measurement of what your customers think about your products and services.
Customer upselling
The most effective way to make upsells and cross-sells is to tailor recommendations to a customer’s needs and goals. After all, customers don’t typically reach out to support teams with the goal of hearing a sales pitch — so generic suggestions that they upgrade to a more expensive product or higher membership tier are unlikely to be well-received. Our agents have the right skills and know when and how to advertise the next big thing.
Without the right tools and workforce for communication, business can lose valuable customers and important business relationships. For instance, businesses must make sure that their email services are up to scratch because email remains as one of the most valuable communication technologies in the business world.
A high volume of calls can lead to clogged phone lines and long wait times. Not only can this cause a business to lose customers, but it’s not efficient or cost-effective. By diverting some customers onto live chat services, you can more efficiently resolve complaints and questions, providing all-around better customer service.
If your business truly wants to provide superior customer support service, it will have to use dedicated agent services over alternatives. While most successful businesses know the benefits of using a outsourced dedicated call agents, many still don’t realize that call centers often have different levels of service.
