Cost Reduction in the Contact Centre!!

May 27, 2009 - Nepean Sailing Club
Bruce Simpson, SwitchGear Consulting

 If you had to reduce your operating expenses by 5-20%, what are the best and proven solutions to get you there?

Managing operating costs is at the forefront of business initiatives, especially so now during this time of economic uncertainty.  Contact centres are no exception. Managers are continually being asked to do more with less.  What do you do???  If you’re not sure of the answer to that question, then we have a solution that will shed some valued insight into what other call centers are doing to successfully manage their costs.

Bruce Simpson, of SwitchGear Consulting, facilitated an interactive workshop recently with members of the Greater Toronto Area Contact Centre Association (GTACC) on this very topic ‘Cost Reduction Inside the Contact Centre’.   Based on the tremendous response, we are thrilled that Bruce has agreed to come to Ottawa on May 27th to facilitate this same session for ORCCA members.

This session is designed to promote the sharing of cost-saving solutions.  It is NOT a presentation; it’s an interactive workshop where the learning comes from insights and discussions with your peers and experts. 

It focuses on what we have in common about our operations - not what’s different, regardless of whether we have 10 agents or 1,000.  The goal is to share tactics that will allow Managers to be proactive in trimming costs vs. being reactive.

To ensure participants bring thoughtful value vs. spontaneous outbursts of contribution, you will be asked to take a few minutes to prepare your thoughts prior to the session.  A ‘Participant Pre-Think Package’ is available to guide you in the process.

This is a great opportunity for you to invite your colleagues, especially those responsible for budgeting.   Register Today.  Seating is limited!  RSVP to info@callcentres.org
