Customer service is a very time-consuming portion of business. Not only is it time-consuming, but it is critical for it to be performed to the best of ability of everyone involved. Getting this in a small business can be very tough. Depending on the amount of clients you have, you may have to hire dedicated personnel to work full time as customer service agents. The more clients and/or incoming customer service calls your business has, the more dedicated employees you will have to hire. The more employees you hire, the more supervisors you will have to hire to keep control of your newly formed customer service department. The more supervisors you hire, the more of a need for workspace and offices will occur.
As you can see, if your customer service lines start to ring fairly often, you are going to have to build a dedicated department to handle the volume. It can get to be a big mess pretty quickly if you are not willing and able to effectively manage the customer service side of things -- a side that can quickly grow bigger than your original business.
This is why outsourcing of customer service has grown to such a big business in recent years. This tactic is beneficial for many reasons; you will have a dedicated team of customer service professionals managed completely offsite, for one. The service center also has the capabilities to effectively track, record all interactions between representatives and your clients.
