Dialers & Productive Contact Center

By C Chaitanya
In the digital age, the outbound contact center is not just for customer service but is also used for revenue generation like lead generation and conversion of leads.
In general outbound call center is used for:
1. Generation of lead: Cold calls, extensively used in banking & finance industry
2. Inbound Sales: Converting web generated leads, up selling and cross selling to existing customers
3. Proactive service & Customer Service: Information sharing, problem, survey, answer to customer query, etc.
With the increased usage of call center, lot of new technology has also come up, which helps to streamline the calling process, thereby increases the productivity of contact center.
One such technology is dialers, dialers are automatic dialing solution used in outbound contact center  to optimize the  agent efficiency and reduce the downtime. Today different types of dialers are available, each have unique features and usages.

Objective: All the calls should be handled carefully, calls should be initiated  after doing proper investigation about the customer. The revenue generated per call  is very high
Use Case: Complex inside sales calls in which the revenue per call is very high, the client requirement is highly customized. Example: In B2B lead generated from website is very limited, every call is of high importance and customers requirement is also not similar.
Objective: Increase the productivity of agents & always keep them in a busy state
Use Case: In small and midsized contact center used for cold calls, inside sales when leads generated are quite same .Ex: In Banking lead generated from website is very large, inside sales team productivity can be enhanced by using progressive dialer.
Objective: Increase number of calls per day, increase calling time, reduces the dead time (searching for valid numbers).
Use Case : Large contact center, to generate lead or cold calls or to give information to large customer base. Ex: Cold calls for generating leads for Credit card or loan

Dialers are just a new solution that reduces the human involvement in calling process, but it is the job of contact center manager to use the dialer technology to its full potential, as every contact center has unique requirement depending on the industry, company working culture and business need. a proper analysis should be done before choosing a dialer.

Cloud Telephony-History and state of the art

By C Chaitanya
Well, its been 11 years since Twilio launched their voice API in November 2008. I would say that was a major turning point in the cloud telephony industry. Before that, for people to build telephony applications, you either had to depend on proprietary platforms like Avaya dialog designer or build on arcane technologies like VXML which again was supported at varying degrees by the incumbents. Enter Twilio with their voice API and the industry changed for the better. Since it's been almost 11 years now I thought now might be a good time to do a comprehensive review of the cloud telephony industry as a whole in general and in India in particular. The Beginning Twilio was undoubtedly the startup which ushered in the era of cloud telephony. They started in November 2008. At that time in India, we at Ozonetel had launched a hosted VXML platform. There were no takers. After all who coded in VXML :) So when Twilio launched and we saw them take off, we immediately realized tha...

Google business messages and chat agents-A match made in heaven

By C Chaitanya
Google has launched Google business messages without much fanfare. It's just a small button that pops up when someone searches for your business on Google. But from the conversation industry perspective this is HUGE .   Do you know that the small call button drives millions of calls i n a year for pizza joints and other retailers in the US. Businesses spend more than a trillion dollars supporting billions of customer service calls each year. Now imagine how many chat conversations the "Message" button can drive.  Think of how customers interact with business. 1. Search on Google. 2. Click on web site link. 3. Web site shows chat pop up and tries to force the user to chat.(Annoying. I know :)) 4. User clicks on chat and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. This flow can now be completely changed. The new flow can be: 1. Search on Google. 2. User clicks on Message and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. What if you could design a customer experience that helps...

Telugu ASR speech data collection

By C Chaitanya
Image Source: IIIT-H Developing an indigenous ASR for Indian languages has been a goal for us since a long time. In that regard we have been experimenting a lot, trying out various neural network architectures.  While doing these experiments we found that there was no good dataset for Indian languages. While discussing with IIIT professors we got to know that the government of India was also exploring options to generate a good dataset. We immediately offered our help and our platform for this endeavor. So, as a starting step we have come up with a few campaigns to encourage users to donate speech data. We wanted to make it fun, so our first few campaigns are along the lines of JAMs(Just a Minute speech topics) etc. A topic will be provided and you need to speak for a minute on that topic. We have started this campaign for college students to start with. Of course anyone can participate and contribute their data. The more the merrier :) We will adding a lot more innovative ways ut...
