Events Review
  Seminar
Last month, the Call Centre Association organised two successful seminars.
The "In-/Outsourcing for Service Excellence Seminar" held on 24th May 2002 introduced today's corporate trends in outsourcing call centre services to external vendors. Discussions also focused on how to in/outsource call centres in Hong Kong in order to meet business needs and develop superior services for customers. Speakers from prestigious companies were invited, including CLP TeleCom, ComSense Management Ltd. and Galaxy Satellite Broadcasting Ltd. They shared their thoughts, opinions and experiences with attendees.
In the "Call Centre Technology for Enhanced Hotline Utility and Efficiency Seminar" held on 10th May 2002, industry professionals were invited to introduce some of the latest call centre technologies and solutions. Moreover they illustrated how to leverage these technologies to maximize resources in order to enhance hotline utility and efficiency. The aim was to provide more help to people in need.
  Site Visit
On 13th June, the Call Centre Association organised a site visit to the "1823 Citizen's
Easy Link" of the HKSAR Government's Efficiency Unit. During the visit, CCA members learned how the Link delivers its services to the public. CCA members and representatives of the Efficiency Unit also shared opinions and experiences on operational issues related to the running of a call centre. This event was organised free of charge exclusively for CCA members and the response was indeed enthusiastic. In view of this, the Call Centre Association will organise another site visit to the "1823 Citizen's Easy Link" again in July. Interested members should look for more information in the Call Centre Association's e-newsletter or browse our website for the latest updates.

Customer Management of OglivyOne
Those who deal with the day-to-day challenges of acquiring, keeping and selling to customers know just how difficult it is to constantly think about new ways to improve results. This is especially true when clients or senior management are being asked to cut costs and do more for less. Part of the difficulties of working in a CRM-focused business is managing the entire spectrum of activities, not only implementing new technologies for those lucky enough to have access to it. It's also important to improve propositions while getting the right team in place and analysing response groups within the main base. Delivering proper everyday communications to customers and prospects is the key to building a sound business strategy.
In light of these hurdles, OgilvyOne's unique Customer Management benchmarking methodology (CMAT) has recently been launched in Aisa. CMAT helps businesses build sustainable and profitable relationships with customers while improving acquisition approaches. It is a powerful, in-depth assessment system that compares organisations against global best practices and approaches used by competitors. There is a very high correlation between high performing CMAT organisations and bottom line results.
CMAT also introduces the important customer relationship management concept of not only understanding competitors and the customer's experience, but also to make use of internal resources and information. After gaining a thorough understanding, companies must categorise customers and potential customers into different groups in order to facilitate customer-centric activities. This creates a focus on retention, efficiency and recruitment of new customers as well as building value-added market penetration.
