6. The Need

7. The Need – Contact Management
• It is 2PM. The telemarketing agent calls a
2PM
platinum customer. The customer picks up
and rudely shouts “didn’t I tell you guy
didn t
to only call me after 6 PM”
– You just lost your business with this customer
– Had you been able to set a preferred
calling time based on the individual needs
of a customer you would have actually
made a sale now

8. The Need – Campaign
Management
• Customer is called on his / her mobile,
home number, and office landline. Same
service. Same day. Three different
agents
–Y h
You have one unhappy customer who i tired
h h is i d
of telling you that you have called before
– Had you been able to do better contact
management handling multiple numbers of
a customer seamlessly, customer
retention would have been higher

9. The Need – Multi Channel
Support
• Your collection agency needs to remind
this customer of his impending due date
and amount, but he just refuses to
answer his mobile or its always busy
– F il d to meet collection targets as the
Failed ll i h
customer was not reminded on time
– If my dialer had supported multiple
channels I could have sent him an SMS
today with his reminder while rescheduling
the call tomorrow

10. The Need – List Management
• You need to call your high value
customers in the first half of the day and
then call others
– Failed to target specific customer segments
based on business demands
– If my dialer had supported contact
selection based on my customer segments
I could have controlled the calling pattern
as required by my business
