Eat Every Carrot and Pea On Your Plate

When it comes to customer service, there’s nothing worse than treating all customers the same. Customers like personalization and attention. If your business can’t provide it–they go elsewhere.

Short on time and resources, most companies can’t optimize customer service as much as they would like to. I recently read an article on Inc.com which warns companies against treating customers like “peas in a pod”. That’s right merchants–If you don’t have time to pay attention to every pea on your plate, it’s time to seek some assistance.

Outsourcing has accumulated a negative reputation over the years, which is partly understandable. Your business is your baby and picking a babysitter takes time and trust. However, not all customer management options require you to surrender control completely. What if you could just have a team ready to chip in when you need them? What if you could set rules and regulations for what they can and cannot say? What if you could tour the facility and meet the people who will be answering your phones? Good news–you can.

Solid Cactus Call Center is not your average outsourcing agency. They can do so much more than answer phones and they are always welcoming of your input. When I heard about some of the things our Call Center can do, my jaw hit the floor. One customer in need of a vacation put Solid Cactus Call Center behind the virtual desk for a week while she was away getting some much-needed R&R.  Instead of a Call Center they became her entire administrative branch–but only for a week! Some customers call on Call Center for holiday overflow, while others have them on-call full time. It’s all about your needs and giving your customers the personalization they deserve.

Read the Inc.com article and decide–Can you handle EVERY carrot and pea on your plate?
