BenchmarkPortal Announces: TrialCard Contact Center Achieves Its Second Certification as a BenchmarkPortal Center of Excellence
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2014 -- The TrialCard Customer Experience Center has been certified as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal, a leading contact center research and consulting organization. “This certification attests to the fact that call center leaders have successfully balanced efficiency and effectiveness in their operations,” said BenchmarkPortal CEO Bruce Belfiore. “Achieving Center of Excellence certification is an acknowledgement of strong management and leadership in the call center industry.”
To achieve certification as a Center of Excellence, a company must undergo a rigorous call center benchmarking process, which compares the organization’s operational metrics to those of its peers, using the world's largest database of contact center metrics. During this process, BenchmarkPortal experts audit and verify key data from the contact center applying for certification.
Factors (called key performance indicators) such as first call resolution, cost per call, call waiting time, customer satisfaction, agent satisfaction and utilization of human resources are taken into account. BenchmarkPortal is able to scientifically gauge how the contact center being studied compares to other centers in the same industry, and if the performance of the contact center is superior. Customer satisfaction, which relates to customer loyalty and business growth, is the goal, balanced by financial metrics which show that the center is being operated efficiently.
“Certification is an important distinction because it is based on best-practice metrics drawn from BenchmarkPortal’s database of contact center metrics, which was founded at Purdue University and is the largest in the world. This achievement confirms the call center’s ability to deliver service that is both efficient and effective,” said Belfiore. "It is the culmination of important initiatives that were undertaken to achieve sustainable service excellence. TrialCard has shown its ability to achieve that balance through its objective performance metrics. We have validated its metrics and have certified that TrialCard is, indeed, among the best in its industry. I congratulate TrialCard on a job well done.”
“A contact center that seeks and achieves the Center of Excellence Certification from BenchmarkPortal demonstrates a noteworthy commitment to service excellence,” added Belfiore, who has been with the company since 2000.
