Contact Center | 4 minute read

At a time when many business owners are removed from face-to-face interaction with their clients — hospitality, food, retail etc. — it’s becoming more and more important for companies to engage with their customers. Whether it’s on social media, chatbot or other AI technology features, it’s important to know what your customers want and use tools that will help you increase your ROI.

You may think that call centers are for big companies but the truth is, they have a lot of value for small and medium-sized businesses as well. To manage customers and staff communications, the key is to use cloud-based software or apps.

Not only does it save you money on hardware costs and expensive storefront commercial spots, but many software programs, or app, work on mobile devices; they can monitor agent results, and, analyze call data for as little as $20 a month.
