a call center is of 2 types 'inbound' and 'outbound'.
in an inbound call center, we get incoming calls with
queries and we resolve them for our customers.
outbound call center is where we have to cal our
customers... typically marketing!!!
Call centre is a place or organization, where large
number of calls are being made or received for the purpose
of business.
The call center can be classified in many ways:
I. Inbound & Outbound
II. Technical & Non-technical
III. In source (captive) & Outsource
IV. Domestic & International
V. Voice & Non-voice
Inbound ? Receiving calls from customers for enquiry
purpose.

times to call back the customers even it is inbound call
center.

a company can not take part of both parts. one is developing
of products or organising a company in any way & at the same
time it has to get profits to the company by earning
customers right. ok now it takes days or months or years to
find a customer but it takes seconds to loose one. right so,
these big companies for example telecom such as
vodafone,airtel gave the contract to deal with thier
customers & answer thier quiries so that now what happens
when a customer calls to call centre & asks abt his query &
gets his answer in a very polite manner & totally he
satisfied with the way they rcvd & answered his. now what he
does he goes to his friends or some other persons & tells
that wow what a service by that ---- company they r so nice
yaar so finnaly the customer is seatisfied by CUSTOMER CARE
EXECUTIVE.company gets profit & the mediator gets profits
from the client i.e., the comp as vodafone or airtel by CSE
but CSE's will be paid less that is what a call centre
is........
Call canter is the fast growing industry here in our
country. It's about serving people regarding their needs
or concerns by using the internet or phones..

yrs in non technical BPO, i can justify abt my reasons for
takin up call centers but they are asking me why have u
chosen non technical being from technical side, i cant find
any suitable answer to that question (basically im weak in
technical concepts) so kindly tell me wat to say in this
regard
