Trident Marketing
VO was a right-sized solution for us. We use VO to prove that we provided (or in some cases did not) the necessary information for the customer to make an informed decision
East Hartford, CT (PRWEB) December 28, 2012
The team at Trident Marketing have been in business for over 20 years, building upon a simple mantra of “envision, achieve and enjoy” to create a high-growth direct response sales company. Now staffed with 400 people and counting, Trident is recognized as a national direct marketing powerhouse, while staying locally focused in Moore County, North Carolina.
Seeing a surge in overall talk time and call volume (10,000+ calls hitting the building each day), Trident’s call center has added staff and call handling capabilities to help handle the increased lead flow. This helped identify a need to implement a call monitoring system to assist in training the new staff.
Trident’s contact center agents are diverse in their skill sets, managing accounts which include all kinds of services and products. Their customer service and quality assurance agents handle calls relative to the installation of the product, shipping, and follow up with the customer to assure satisfaction. Training these agents and sharpening their skills is of the utmost importance to management.
With a surging call volume and a multi-skill environment, it was critical to improve the toolset used for training and quality assurance. Never afraid to invest in technology which offers tremendous value and low cost of ownership, the Trident team looked high and low for the perfect fit in terms of feature set and budget.
Trident eventually discovered Virtual Observer, an emerging call recording and quality monitoring solution which “was a right-sized solution for us. We use VO to prove that we provided (or in some cases did not) the necessary information for the customer to make an informed decision. In addition, we monitor all points of a call from beginning to end, customer service and quality control to make sure the RFT (required follow-throughs) have been completed,” said Brandon Brown, CIO for Trident.
Trident also uses Virtual Observer to analyze various compliance categories (knowing the current offer, positioning the product correctly, complying with terms and conditions, accuracy of pricing, etc) and to find specific call types. Critical benefits realized by Virtual Observer include being able to retain call sensitive data, like DNIS, ANI, Agent and timestamps for when the recording occurred.
The value proposition presented by Virtual Observer, in terms of both functionality and price, make it a leading contender in the contact center space. “We would definitely recommend the solution to other marketing organizations out there!” added Brown. Asked about what differentiates Trident from their competition, Brown replied with “We utilize predictive analytics to model churn and predict appropriate additional products to sell to the consumer. Technology like Virtual Observer is also a vital part of Trident’s success.
