Platform Hierarchy



Campaigns


A Campaign is defined as an action that is intended for a particular purpose. In the call center world, a Campaign is based on customer interaction, which vary in nature. Think of telephone sales and support, market research and enrichment of information as campaign types.


The customer interaction can be established in different ways. Here we distinguish two main groups; where classification is based on the nature of the relationship with the customer.

  • Inbound – For an inbound campaign, the initiative for a meeting is with the customer. The customer dials a phone number and then gets an agent on the phone. The agent answers questions about a product or service, the status of a delivery or takes an order.
  • Outbound - For an outbound campaign, the initiative lies not with the customer, but the customer is approached by a company or institution.

Activities

 

The customer interaction process is associated with a number of Activities which are necessary to achieve a successful interaction with the customer. There is a set of logical and practical activities which you can use immediately, and you also have the freedom to give an interpretation to the use of these activities.

 

The following Activities are part of the group activities that are directly associated with the deployment of agents on a Project. These are the Activities that are a basis for the timesheets and thus are an important part of invoicing a Project.

NOTE: If the User credentials are invalid, an error message will be displayed. An account cannot be locked out by repeatedly entering invalid information. If the password is forgotten or lost, it can be retrieved by an Administrator on the Tenant. The platform supports most modern web browsers to include: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

Navigate to the Users option under the Management section of the left sidebar. After selecting the option, the browser will load the “User Management” window. Choose the + Add User button

Users-Skills

 

The User-Skills overview will give insight into the skill levels on all active Campaigns. Under Management, select the menu option User-Skills. In this window, select an active Tenant and Campaign from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen to edit skills dynamically.

 

While in the “User-Skills Management” window, the Administrator can edit the skill levels of all active Users on the selected Campaign. Adjustments in skill levels, up or down, are shown in green and red respectively. You can save adjustments with the Save button. Standard convention for skill levels are 1 to 5, but you can decide your own settings if preferred.

 

 

Assigning Skills to Users

 

The Skill-Management will give you an overview of your Skill database. By using the search panel, you can view and manage your Skill list. You can also search by Skill Name, Status and Tenant.

 

Once you are in the “Skills Management” section and have chosen your search function, the result of your search is a list of Skills. You now have the ability to assign these Skills to Users. Selecting a Skill will result in a new list at the bottom of the page of Users.

 

You can now add or remove kills by using the + Add or – Remove buttons. By utilizing a Skill Level, you can distinguish Users with the same Skill. You can specify which group within the available Users get preference in handling calls. This is done by filling out a random number, with the higher number being the higher reference. For example, Skill Level 2 will supersede Skill Level 1.
