There are no barriers, just the right resource, communicating with the right customer at the right time. You make the call, who will it be.
Simple or Sophisticated, Your Choice
Whether you have 1 or 100s of people providing customer service, the OnState CallCenter for Skype fits just right. You can choose to allow your customers to contact you through only one channel, such as a local (with SkypeIn you can have local numbers around the world!) or toll-free number, from your website, or by clicking on a "Contact/CallMe" button included in your email campaign. Or, you can allow customers to contact you through a wide variety of channels and very specifically define the skill sets of your employees to ensure that the right customer is connected to the right resource at the right time.
Whatever your strategy, you can grow and adapt it on the fly. No upgrades, no additional modules to in-stall, no consultants, no IT resources are required. Just fill-in the blanks. It's not about technology, it all starts with how you want to treat your customers.
