Smart businesses understand the importance of recording and monitoring its inbound calls. These calls provide critical information on how many enquiries the organisation receives on an average, the kind of enquiries, how the customers are dealt with on the phone, the quality of the call, and many other statistics of vital importance.

But despite its advantages many organisations choose to ignore this powerful measure of operational performance and customer satisfaction. Earlier, inbound call information recording took expensive hardware equipment which most small companies could not afford. But now, even small companies can monitor and record their inbound calls through a host of cost effective services provided by telecommunication companies like Numbertalk.

Benefits of Recording and Monitoring Inbound Calls

By monitoring and recording inbound calls of an organisation, improved accuracy can be ensured. Imagine a situation where a customer placed an order through a telephone call. The staff member forgot the details of the order, or misplaced the piece of paper he scribbled the order details on, or maybe he left the organisation. In situations like this, all the recorded calls can be traced back to find out exactly what was missed. You would not have to be in an embarrassing situation where the customer has to be called back for verifying details.

Call recording is primarily used by most organisations in their customer service department to audit the calls. Call quality is a key metric that determines the efficiency of performance of an employee. By listening to the recorded calls, the senior staff members are able to provide the much needed guidance to newer staff members on how calls need to be handled. Call recording allows an organisation to provide appropriate and ongoing training to employees.

If the customer has made a complaint, by listening to the recorded call it becomes very easy to verify the claims and understand the details of the complaint. Complaint calls can also be used to train employees by playing it back to them and training them on how to deal with similar situations.

Call recording is also a compliance matter. Financial sector regulations insist that all calls be recorded.

Telecommunication companies such as Numbertalk provide call recording functionality through the features of eConsole. If you would like to know more about how you can implement call recording in your organisation, contact Numbertalk.
