Record Year for Shopping in US and UK?
November 9, 2010
UK inbound telemarketing call centres as well as United State call centres this year are expecting a banner year according to the data centre mining and logistic experts, who are predicting the biggest and best year in the past three years for shopping.
Shopping for Christmas is expected to start early and be fast-paced, with shoppers predicted to begin online and use call centre shopping at least by the end of October and early in November.
Call centres can expect to take a record number of orders this year with those who are normally busy expected to be reaching extreme levels by mid November. If the trends continue as they are in online searches for goods such as outdoor clothing, and then the subsequent use of call centre numbers, the Christmas season this year will begin early and probably last until the new years sales without a let up.With a slight improvement in the economy and consumer confidence moving upward, as well as some job situation improvement around the globe, retailers are expecting more sales than last year and a far longer Christmas holiday season. Inbound telemarketing call centres are warned to begin adding holiday staff a bit earlier this holiday season than they may have done last year.
Call Centre Employees – What is the Best Type of Person to Hire for Christmas Inbound Telemarketing Work?Call centres are often finding that those who are the most friendly and happy workers in a typical situation in the call centre are a great find for day to day work, but that those who are made of a bit more stern stuff are needed to handle the madness that often comes with the Christmas holiday traffic and the resultant phone calls and problems that may take place.
The typical and more laid-back telemarketer who is a specialist in customer care for normal year round service may not serve the company well when it comes to the hectic Christmas period for may inbound call centres. Consider employing people who are more accustomed to a faster paced environment such as retail, to cope with mayhem which may be found in a call centre at the Christmas period and do your short term hiring accordingly.
