Have you heard about the contact center?
2
From which aspects should I evaluate a contact center solution?
3
How can I choose between a contact center and a call center?
4
Well, we will answer all these questions and ask you all with simple language in this video.
5
So here we go.
6
A contact center is a central platform that merges all customer interactions from various channels.
7
It usually helps a company offer customer services, conduct outbound marketing or sales, and gather information.
8
Well, the key here is various channels.
9
So, what channels?
10
Nowadays, people have an explosive, diverse range of ways to communicate.
11
Your customers may reach you through instant chatting tools like WhatsApp and live chat from your website.
12
Some may prefer emails or even at you from social media.
13
As a morning company, you shall be available on all these channels.
14
It may sound easier than it is.
15
So just think about it.
16
There are many possible platforms for each type of channel.
17
For example, for social media.
18
There's Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and more.
19
As a company, you need to maintain all these platforms.
20
So you need a dedicated team for each channel and keep them coordinated.
21
It can be a mess sometimes.
22
Well, that's exactly why you need a contact center.
23
A key advantage of a contact center is its ability to provide a seamless
24
and consistent customer experience across all channels by integrating various communication platforms.
25
For instance, a contact center agent has one single interface that merges all channels,
26
meaning that all messages from different channels are received on one interface of the agent.
27
Messages should be clearly labeled so agents know from which channel they enter.
28
And of course, agents can respond to these messages right from this unified interface.
29
In the meantime, to ensure a high level customer experience.
30
Features like message queues, session transfer, chat to audio, call interswitch, and chat history tracking should all be included.
31
Additionally, the QA functions like satisfaction rate and chat logs are also essential.
32
Furthermore, the advanced contact center also needs to be capable of integrating with CRM systems,
33
analytics, and performance monitoring tools to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
34
So, it is also vital for a contact center to be compatible with as many CRMs as possible.
35
Well, as for now, many contact centers have introduced the AI to assist human agents, like chatbot, message extraction, and searching tools.
36
These features mainly focus on providing advanced service for customers with higher needs.
37
How do we choose between a call center and a contact center?
38
If the customers' interactions privately happen over phones, a more economical call center should be the right choice for you.
39
It's a dedicated phone call solution that can handle massive calls.
40
However, the contact center will be better option if if you need to be available via digital channels.
41
Now we're clear with the concept of the contact center.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
