How Customer Direct outshines its competition

Customer Direct is a singular BPO described as “a boutique contact center that builds custom solutions for unique brands.” One can see this in their client onboarding process, which has five steps. 

The first step is a thorough business “discovery” phase which allows their team to understand their new client’s company and needs inside and out before beginning work. The second step involves workflow engineers and managers planning how best to serve the new company utilizing their proprietary software. 

Once they know what they’re going to do to streamline workflow, their engineers work with their client’s IT staff to integrate the systems quickly and effectively. This integration allows Customer Direct to provide their services and capture all of the data their new client needs to succeed, producing them in an easily accessible and secure online report.

Finally, they hire staff catered for their individual client’s needs by creating profiles for their unique needs, including temperament and education. They then give the staff the necessary training to meet and exceed client expectations.
