Although your business may operate during standard working hours, customers expect to be able to contact you at any time. With modern communication methods providing multi-channel customer support, it’s important for companies to provide a round-the-clock support service.

Enabling customers to contact you at any time ensures that they can access the support they need, whenever they need it. With many individuals placing a premium on good customer service, companies can benefit financially by increasing their customer service options.

Providing out of hours customer support doesn’t have to be complicated. Whilst hiring new staff and financing a 24-hour in-house team may not be cost-effective, using an external contact centre is an ideal way to deliver exceptional customer care at a low cost.

Extending your business

Outsourcing your customer service requirements to a trusted contact centre means that your customers still get the same great level of service. With experienced customer service agents interacting with customers in accordance with your company’s framework, you can be sure that your brand will be represented properly.

In order to provide effective and competent customer care, representatives will also gain an in-depth knowledge of your company, your customers and your industry. By understanding how the business works, representatives can engage with customers effectively and resolve any queries they may have.

Responding to multi-channel customer enquiries

Providing a dedicated 24-hour support telephone line is a perfect way to cater to your customers but it is important to deliver this level of service across a variety of channels. As well as using an outsourced contact centre to provide a 24-hour telephone answering service, why not incorporate an out of hours online service as well?

If customers email you over the weekend, during the evening or throughout the night, they’ll benefit from a swift and personal response from your brand. With many customers making pre-sales enquiries online, providing out of hours support is a great way to increase sales and encourage customer interaction.
