At the heart of any successful call centre customer experience is the fundamental and often underestimated work of the advisors.
These advisors not only answer calls, but also play a crucial role in representing the company and contributing to its success.
Their ability to understand and meet customers’ needs is vital in building strong and lasting relationships between the company and its customers.
But what exactly do they do? We’ll explain in this Weldon article.
6 Tasks and responsibilities of a call centre advisor
1. Customer service
The main role of the advisor is to answer customer calls. These can range from enquiries, complaints, requests for information and technical support. They must know how to handle each call with professionalism, courtesy and efficiency, ensuring that the customer feels heard and that their problem is resolved.
2. Troubleshooting
Advisors are often faced with complex situations or technical queries. They must be able to think on their feet, analyse the situation and offer effective solutions. This may require a good understanding of the company’s products or services, as well as its policies and procedures.
3. Sales and promotion
In some call centres, particularly those with a sales focus, advisors may be responsible for promoting products or services. This involves informing customers about new offers, understanding their needs and suggesting products that might interest them.
4. Customer data management
Advisors often record detailed information about customers and their interactions. This requires skills in managing databases and information systems to ensure confidentiality and accuracy.
5. Teamwork and collaboration
Although advisors work individually on most calls, they are also part of a larger team. Teamwork is essential to solve complex problems and continuously improve the service.
6. Stress management and flexibility
Working in a call centre can be demanding, with high call volumes and sometimes dissatisfied or frustrated customers. The ability to manage stress whist remaining calm and flexible in the face of changing situations is essential.
