Service BDC Manager's Challenges

90% of Service BDC Managers’ time is lost in monitoring the service BDC Reps, and see that they are doing their job, and also log into DMS, CRM, Appointment Scheduler system systems, etc. and generate BDC staff’s performance reports.

BDC Manager's problems solved....

The Tele-BDC assists BDC Manager in all rudimentary BDC operations and empowers the BDC Manager to focus on creative business development tasks in generate new revenue streams.

The Tele-BDC Platform wears the following 16 different BDC operational roles and helps the BDC department immensely.

Service Call Router

#16. As the HEART of Telephone PBX System with BDC Built In

The Tele-BDC System takes over all the incoming calls from PBX system to Service Department and controls and virtually routes all the calls and controls flow of all service calls.
  • AI Creates Virtual BDC Agent for each of the incoming calls
  • Monitors each until the call is closed by either party.
  • 100% of the calls are accounted for successfully answered or not.
  • Tele-BDC is not a replacement for PBX but takes over the operations side of the busy service department so that no customer will go unattended, even if 100 calls are poured into the service drive simultaneously.

..all calls answered...

#15. Answers all incoming phone calls

The Tele-BFC Rep forks a virtual BDC Rep on the fly for each of the incoming calls and answers customers and prompts customer to take next action.
  • Routes customer calls depending on the customer selection.
  • The receptionist has two hands, two eyes, and two ears to juggle between at the max 5-6 simultaneous calls, whereas the Tele-BDC can create a Virtual Receptionist for each of the 100 calls simultaneously called in. Not even one call will be missed!!!!!   This is not possible for a human service receptionist.
Happy?

 

never miss a call!

#14. Engages all customers in Call Queues

Have you ever called a big company and you were told that you are 3rd caller in call wiating to speak to human staff member? This service-tele-BDC offers that style of engaging customers. Without a system like that, out of 100 calls to service floor, only 40% are answered, 30% may into voice mail and 30% dropped, hung up, or called back repeatedly until human picks up! DealTimer Tele-BDC guarantees every customer call is heard and made accountable!
  • Tele-BDC updates every caller every 20 seconds with a number of customers calls ahead of the customer before the staff member can accept the call.
  • Tele-BDC checks if any of the BDC reps are off the phone and still not taking the call from the call queue and flags that BDC Rep with a penalty point.
  • AI-Driven BDC complements human BDC Reps in engaging customers in the call queues.
  • Tele-BDC gives an option for customers in the call queue to receive a call back in the same order at a specified phone number.  This is a very helpful feature.

...engages BDC reps with calls..

#13. Distributes all calls equally to all BDC Reps

Upon BDC Rep comes up available from previous call, the call gets assigned to that BDC Rep and transfers the call to the BDC rep. No BDC Rep can fool the system by saying that they are busy, as the system tracks the status of BDC rep upon previous call termination.
  • Result #1: Tele-BDC creates competition among BDC Reps or Advisors to grab more calls from the call queue, as the pay plan rewards more calls taken!
  • Result 2: Monitors after how many rings the calls were answered, who jumped on the call first to take it, etc.  Pay plan rewards BDC  reps for quicker response times!
  • Tele-BDC allows BDC Reps to make outbound calls and then accept customers from the queue. Without call queues, most of the advisors or BDC reps have to juggle between outgoing call and incoming calls and doing no justice to either!
