Contact Center or Call Center?

At Sagres, the customer is at the center of everything. We believe that excellent customer service is the foundation of any lasting relationship. Therefore, we have developed a personalized and proactive approach to Customer Care, based on active listening and a deep understanding of our customers' needs. We go beyond simple problem-solving: our goal is to anticipate requests and offer tailored solutions that exceed expectations. We collaborate closely with our clients (partners) to ensure maximum satisfaction for the end customer. We adopt your values as our own and offer a bespoke service, as if the customer were speaking directly with you.

Sagres guarantees us precise and punctual service, transferring Alperia's seriousness and values to the end customers as well

- Alessandro Bonanno, Marketing & Customer Insight Alperia

Our Contact Center is the beating heart of our Customer Care. Unlike traditional call centers, the Contact Center offers an omnichannel experience that allows customers to interact with us through their preferred channel: phone, email, chat, social media, or web portal. This flexibility allows us to assist customers more quickly and effectively, regardless of where they are. Furthermore, the Contact Center allows us to collect and analyze a large amount of data on customer interactions, enabling us to identify trends, improve our services, and further personalize the customer experience. Thanks to the Contact Center, we are able to offer continuous and complete support to our customers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Outsourced Customer Support Service
Why it is better to entrust it to a specialized company

Experience and technical skills

The presence of highly qualified personnel with vast experience in customer service is fundamental. Outsourcing companies must invest in the continuous training of their collaborators to ensure constant development of knowledge, sector sensitivity, and awareness of the temporal context.

Use of cutting-edge technologies

Advanced and omnichannel customer contact systems, ticket management software, and qualitative analysis tools for customer interactions are essential for efficient data and security management.

Flexibility and service customization

Sagres is committed to providing flexible and personalized solutions based on each company's specific needs. Services are adapted to the specificities of each client, thereby guaranteeing a tailored service.

Reduction of operational and management costs

One of the goals of an outsourced Contact Center is to reduce company costs while ensuring effective customer service management.

Customer orientation

We are committed to continuously improving Customer Care, always looking for new ways to make customer interactions smoother, more efficient, and more satisfying.

Customer analysis and profiling

We collect and analyze data on customer preferences and behaviors across all used channels, thereby managing to improve the customer experience and offer the client increasingly efficient customer profiling.

I nostri operatori
Our Operators

Our quality team for your Customer Support Service

At Sagres, we believe that the heart of our customer assistance is the relationship. In line with the principles of the Sagres Method, we offer a personalized and human approach, where every customer can count on a dedicated point of contact. Thanks to low staff turnover (<3%), the end customer can be sure of always speaking with the same person, avoiding having to repeat their request every time. This contributes to building a relationship of trust and deeply understanding your customers' needs, offering an increasingly tailored service.

Significant emphasis is placed on the operator's listening skills: this aspect is crucial because ineffective communication can lead to errors.

- Raffaele Grazioso, Head of Contact Center

Our strength lies in continuous investment in our collaborators' training. A young, motivated, and qualified team, with an average age of 32 and 30% university graduates, capable of guaranteeing high-quality assistance. Thanks to constant training, our operators are always up to date on the latest developments and ready to find effective solutions for your customers' requests. This translates into a quick, precise, and personalized service, allowing you to save time and resolve your problems effectively.

Artificial Intelligence in the Contact Center

How to balance the introduction of artificial intelligence in Customer Care

Among the sectors most influenced by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), Customer Care stands out. AI opens new frontiers to improve customer experience and optimize business processes. Thanks to predictive analysis, chatbots, and virtual assistants can predict customer needs and provide personalized responses in real time. Furthermore, the automation of many repetitive activities allows human operators to concentrate on more complex and value-added tasks. However, a balanced approach is fundamental—one that integrates AI with the empathy and flexibility typical of human interaction—to guarantee a complete and satisfying customer experience.

“Which company can risk failing miserably during one of the 'moments of truth' in its relationship with its customers?”

- Sergio Rossini

Despite rapid advances, in the relationship with the end customer, AI is not yet capable of replicating the complexity of human intelligence, especially in situations requiring empathy, intuition, and a deep understanding of language nuances and interpersonal relationships. Particularly when it comes to resolving specific individual problems, AI is not yet ready to replace a human operator seeking to solve a specific problem for another individual. The human approach, with its adaptability and personalization, remains irreplaceable.

Customer Care and Credit Management

How two distinct services aim for the same goal

The close collaboration between the Credit Management department and Customer Care offers significant added value for managing the debtor customer from a long-term perspective.

In short...

The collaboration between the Contact Center and the department handling Credit Recovery certainly offers added value from the perspective of 360° customer management. This is because the Customer Care service is primarily concerned with the customer and how to resolve the service failure that is often linked to the reasons for non-payment.
