Outsource Order Takers

Online shopping has opened a world of possibilities to businesses everywhere, but click-to-order services have a few drawbacks. Online order taking services are great at making ordering easy, but web store pages and individual item pop-ups are limited to answering detailed questions about products or services.
Sometimes it is just easier to speak with a customer service representative and order by telephone with an order taking call center. This is an aspect of retail that’s not going to disappear anytime in the near future. That is why Intelli offers call center order taking services and order entry outsourcing designed to answer your customers’ questions and provide them with a positive experience that is profitable for your business.

Benefits of Outsourcing Order Taking Services

Recent studies reported that poor customer service is costing businesses $62 billion per year. Eliminate bad customer service by using an order taking service. These professionals are rigorously trained and understand the importance of efficiency and accuracy and adapting to each customer’s needs. This personal touch conveys trustworthiness and keeps customers returning to your business.
How much are missed sales costing you? Today, many businesses outsource their phone order taking services to allow sales to continue beyond the regular 9 to 5 business hours.
Order entry outsourcing allows businesses to handle orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any set of instructions may be submitted to forward to your customer, such as product information, specials, cross-selling opportunities, pricing, payment options, etc.

Automated vs. Professional Telephone Order Taking

Instead of having service representatives take orders, businesses now can utilize technology for order processing. With an automated telephone order-taking service, you can automatically assign tasks, process orders, and verify them. Customers placing orders will also receive updates in real time.
In a professional telephone order taking process, live operators handle tasks manually, such as completing order forms and communicating with customers. Many companies believe this makes human errors more likely and may opt for an automated system. Using an automated telephone order taking system, however, is not without drawbacks.
The reality is that the majority of customers still prefer talking with a live operator before placing orders. A human touch reinforces the legitimacy of the business and assures customers that you are already processing their orders.
What’s more, many people are more comfortable with having a live person assist them and walk them through the process. Whenever a concern or question arises, customers can get a response right away.
At times, automation can hurt customer service when a business takes the focus away from customers. Depending too much on technology to reproduce human interactions can weaken your bond with them. Empathy and emotion play a big part in persuading customers to place orders and having them look forward to doing more business with you.
