The 30-minute results check for your customer service

Somewhere between the call and the invoice, your money is slipping away.

We'll tell you where, and how much. In contacts that shouldn't exist, in the conversation itself or in the contract with your outsourcer. Often a bit of each.

And if there's nothing there, we'll tell you that too.

Then you get it in writing: why your customer service is in good shape. A second opinion to pass on to your MD or CFO, ahead of the budget round, for instance.

What you get: one page, the next working day.

This is what the memo looks like after the call. Written to be read in five minutes and passed on.

Who's coming · Matthias Werlich

18 years on both sides of the table.

As an outsourcer, I took a site back into profit; as a client, I was responsible for 950 FTE in 6 countries. I know both sets of numbers. That helps when someone wants to sell you hours.

What you might be wondering.

Is this a sales pitch in disguise?

You get the memo either way, even if you don't want anything further. If you do, the next step is a lever analysis in 10 working days. Whether you take it is your call.

What do I need to prepare?

Nothing in writing. Three key figures help: service FTE in-house and at your outsourcer, contacts per month and how your outsourcer bills you.

What happens to our figures?

They stay confidential and only go into your memo. How we handle data is set out in our privacy policy.

Who is it worth it for?

Companies with 30 to 500 people in customer service, in-house, outsourced or both.

What does the results check cost?

Nothing. 30 minutes of your time; the memo arrives the next working day.
