Contact Centre Complaints after Christmas - Top Three

| Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Taking the Christmas break off is what every contact centre wants to do, but without having to worry about the consequences. Network solutions don't take time off for the holiday, so there is likely to be a backlog of issues to clear up when you get back to work in the New Year.

When a contact centre reopens after the Christmas bank holiday period, they are likely to find that a number of people have been trying to reach them. There are always some services that are required to remain open over Christmas and there is no guaranteeing that they won't have had some issues with their network management over the break. Those who have suffered issues with their Internet connections or network solutions may wish to make complaints about the fact that they did not have access to assistance.

Following the Christmas period, another complaint that call centres may have to deal with are those relating to long queues following the holiday period. In the few weeks following the holiday, call volumes may increase enormously, so when callers attempt to speak to someone, there may be a longer wait in the queue or on hold. Many contact centres set-up pre-recorded messages so customers will be informed of this as soon as they are connected.

In the period following Christmas, network management companies often attempt to implement ways to save their clients time and hassle. When customers call the contact centre, one way of doing this is by setting up an automated service.

A menu could be provided to help direct people to the right department or perhaps to direct people to websites which may be able to help them resolve their issues. Any contact centre can expect to find a backlog waiting for them following the Christmas holiday, and network solutions providers are no different.
