Virtudesk Launches New Virtual Call Center Service for Growing Businesses
Virtudesk launches its new virtual call center service in response to the growing demand for outsourced call center operations.
With this new service, businesses of all sizes are able to get a call center solution that helps them stay connected with their customers.
You can now outsource your call center operations to Virtudesk and experience the benefits of outsourcing, and improve customer satisfaction and retention.
Read along to discover what this new service can help you with and how you can get started.
What is a Virtual Call Center?
A virtual call center is composed of a team of phone operators who are geographically dispersed. Unlike a traditional one, a virtual call center team handles the company’s phone and chat inquiries outside of the company’s headquarters.
Nowadays, virtual call centers are comprised of phone agents working from home or from an offshore office, giving businesses the chance to experience the benefits of outsourcing while having call center operations.
Instead of setting up a call center operation within the company’s office, virtual call centers allow for phone agents to remotely join the team and provide their services to your business.
The call center agents don’t need to go to a physical location even in their region but set up their workspace from home. All agents use a VOIP dialer that connects them and other call agents in your virtual call center together to receive inbound calls from your customers.
This can make it easier for businesses to set up a call center, effectively reducing the budget required to get started.
Virtudesk Launches New Call Center Service
Virtudesk’s virtual call center aims to provide a solution for small and large companies who want to scale their operations and provide round-the-clock support to their customers by leveraging virtual assistant expertise in these services.

Inbound call support tasks revolve around resolving service or product-related issues, ensuring that your customers are satisfied with your business, and improving your retention rates.
Tech support involves providing assistance to customers who need guidance during the setup or installation of a product or service and troubleshooting their equipment. Providing this can also help your business increase customer satisfaction and retention.
The order management aspect of customer service allows customers to call to create, modify, or cancel orders, and have their complaints and order processing issues resolved.
Virtual receptionists in customer service teams are in charge of answering incoming calls and following up with the appropriate administrative task. This can be by booking appointments, transferring calls, or simply updating customer info in your CRM.
Live Chat Support
