Call Center Services for Marketing & Advertising Firm
“Flatworld Solutions will do a phenomenal job of training replacement resources.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of lobbyTV, a digital signage solutions provider.
What challenge were you trying to address with Flatworld Solutions?
They provided call-center and level-one support for our commercial product. Previously, we had all our support in our Dallas office, but it was expensive, so we decided to outsource to India.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We trained Flatworld Solutions staff on how to use our support CRM, which is based on HubSpot. They created tickets and handled most things by themselves, such as troubleshooting and basic support with our customers. The issues that are more technical and require level-two support are passed on to the US. We have support procedures for them.
What is the team composition?
We used to have two support professionals on their team, but we just have one now because the need for support has gone down due to COVID-19. I normally talked to their project manager.
How did you come to work with Flatworld Solutions?
It was a referral from one of my other vendors.
How much have you invested with them?
The cost so far has been $60,000–$70,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Flatworld Solutions around May 2019 and it’s ongoing. The only parts we’re running in-house are level-two support and marketing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I get weekly updates on how many calls they made and what the efficiency was. Flatworld Solutions is pretty good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have continued working with them for two years.
How did Flatworld Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
The Flatworld Solutions team is super responsive.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have backup resources in case one of their support people can’t make it to the office. That’s phenomenal, given their low cost of operations. I’m using only one resource, so if that person gets sick, my support is down. Flatworld Solutions can put in someone else to handle the calls within half an hour. We had no interruptions during COVID-19.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I haven’t come across anything they could improve.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Initial training is very important, and the client needs to have patience to do this, especially on the customer support side. After that, Flatworld Solutions will do a phenomenal job of training replacement resources. They have a nice process for that.
