Easy-Loans

Outbound Telemarketing

To ensure the agents were more effective in their selling techniques, all agents were recruited from a sales/financial services background. The clients assisted in both initial and ongoing training, in order that the agents understood the product offering and ethos of Easy Loans.

Confero operated a telemarketing team of 10 agents, six days a week who utilised Easy Loans prospect data and power dialler technology, to speak with potential customers and complete 1000's of loan applications each month.

Outbound Telemarketing - Westover Nissan Almera

Confero’s agents called each prospective car buyer during evening hours. They booked in those that required a test drive or a showroom visit, whilst marking others for a call back nearer to the time when they would be changing their car.
Each call was logged with call notes and outcomes, then emailed to the dealership on a daily basis.

Sennheiser

Outbound Telemarketing

First, a carefully planned mailing campaign was orchestrated, with staggered mailers being sent to support Confero’s calling programme. Then, the UK was broken up into targeted areas, to ensure the sales team could travel quickly between meetings.

Next, Confero trained and engaged its appointment setting team, downloaded the Sennheiser diaries, and commenced the calling programme. The unique selling points for the headset systems were conveyed to key decision makers, and using the incentive of trial periods, appointments were booked with some of Britain’s top blue chip companies.

KPMG

Inbound Response

Over a single weekend the Courts Customer Helpline was established. Telephone lines were programmed, the IVR system was set up, messages recorded, and the initial team of 40 agents were recruited and trained to start taking calls on the Monday.

Agents were selected on their customer service experience. Perpetual ongoing training, both to individual agents and in groups, provided agents with the knowledge and confidence to handle every kind of enquiry and to deal with disappointed, angry and sometimes abusive callers.

Part of FTSE100 listed Old Mutual PLC, Old Mutual Fund Managers required a partner of integrity to engage in a long term relationship that would support their growth strategy and expansion in the UK, following their recent flotation.

Speech Recognition

Automatic Speech Recognition

High Volume Response Handling

As a call centre solutions provider, Confero recognises that live call handling solutions for high volume, low value customer contact is expensive. With speech recognition, customers benefit from an 'always on' 24-hour service while clients save on a solution that's one third of the cost per customer contact over live agents or voice mail services.

Confero's speech recognition platform is ideally suited to high volume brochure lines, credit card order lines, nearest dealer locator and commodotised data capture.

Pizza Hut

Inbound Speech Recognition Solution

First, an attractive speech recognition enabled voice asks them for their postcode. It then identifies their nearest Pizza Hut using specialist location software and transfers them through.

Second, the caller’s CLI (telephone number) is logged, so if they call again, the system simply transfers them through. (For mobiles, there is an option to transfer straight through or to have a new search).

Thirdly, if callers are telephoning from noisy environments, or there is no postcode match, they are seamlessly transferred to a live agent to have their miscellaneous query answered or their call transferred through manually. At any moment a caller can transfer to a live agent.
