Inbound or Outbound Contact Center?  What’s the Difference?

Inbound Contact Centers: Focus on CX

Providing a world-class customer experience is more important than ever.  In fact, a PwC report found that 32% of all customers would stop doing business with a brand they loved after one bad experience. If your organization is involved in receiving inbound calls for customer service, product or technical support, payment or order processing or renewal upgrades – just to name a few – not having an inbound solution with best-of-breed capabilities could have a negative effect on your bottom line.   

Outbound Contact Centers: Ensure Industry Compliance

Outbound call centers, where calls are initiated by a call center agent to a customer, are generally used for cold calls, appointment setting, market research and financial services such as collections.  It’s important to understand that while a superior customer experience is important for outbound activities, maintaining compliance with industry regulations and protecting customer data are paramount to achieving outbound success.
