Report Overview 7
Alternative A – Eliminate outsourcing creating a Loss Prevention Team: 8
Outsourcing cost more money in fixing problems. Outsourcing effects our economy as a whole. As a company we need to hire full and part-time employees. This is a way for us to be accountable for quality assurance and first call resolution. 8
Alternative B – Change the call screening process to be more effective: 8
The benefits of streamlining calls are to provide overall good customer satisfaction. Utilizing recorded calls will allow you to find out the most common issues the customers have. You can use the streamlining of the calls to a specific department to handle particular questions. The company can benefit from streamlining by using it for training purposes, as well as better service the customers. 8
