Challenge: In an intensely competitive wireless marketplace, every contact with a customer has the potential to impact revenue and customer loyalty. The importance of effective customer contact is the highest in an inbound sales center where first impressions are formed, and new customers are won or lost. Our client, a major consumer wireless brand, approached us because their current inbound sales vendor was not achieving the sales conversion rates that they felt were possible. Our Solution The client asked us to go head-to-head with their current sales vendor to see if we could improve on their close rates. The client also challenged us to reduce their cost-per-sale in the process. We gladly accepted the challenge. We started a pilot program by training a team of agents with our proprietary CP SCORES (Sales CORE Skills) training. CP SCORES focuses on executing every element of the sales lifecycle effectively. The four sales steps - Opening, Probing, Matching and Closing – are proven to lead customers through the sales lifecycle and direct them to the desired outcome – a sale! From there, our Quality Driven Management System focused on making incremental improvements to the program overall. Results In our first month of the pilot, Center Partners exceeded the incumbent vendor by 15% in an apples-to-apples sales conversion contest. By month four, we were exceeding the other vendor’s performance by 50% and the client shifted 100% of their inbound sales business to our centers through an aggressive ramp and transition plan. Within six months we achieved conversion rates more than double the original rate – an improvement that translated into tens of millions in additional revenue for our client.

Challenge A major satellite television provider was experiencing rapid customer growth, but saw average revenue per user (ARPU) dropping month over month. Existing internal and external calling groups weren’t always meeting productivity and sales goals. The company leaders believed sales per hour could be increased and costs could be reduced. The client’s leadership team decided to pilot an outbound customer upsell program with several vendors. They contacted Center Partners on a Friday afternoon at 4:00 pm requesting a 25-person pilot for 12 calling days, with the added request of beginning the rollout in just six business days. Center Partners responded by putting a proprietary Quick Start pilot in place. Designed to ensure flawless launch processes and repeatable success, the Quick Start roadmap facilitated rapid start-up and ensured that all activities were completed prior to taking the first call.

Results Rapid start-up drove sales increases and cost savings within 13 days of the original request, and only five days after launch. Center Partners outperformed the client’s internal sales-per-hour results by 25%, while meeting desired quality levels. On day eight, the long-term contract was awarded to Center Partners, with the request that the program grow to 100 full-time agents.
