			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>James P. Dunn, CEO, TelStar Hosted Services, Inc., “Your Call Center in the Cloud!™”, delivered an interesting webinar on Appraising Call Center Performance and Leveraging the Cloud, on Tuesday November 8, 2011, sponsored by Vocalcom and Customer Interaction Solutions magazine. The webinar covered how companies can successfully conduct performance appraisals internally. You can view the webinar and download the slides on www.telstarhosted.com.</em></p>
<p>[Leesburg, VA]</p>
<p>James P. Dunn, CEO, TelStar Hosted Services, Inc., “Your Call Center in the Cloud!™”, has over 30 years of experience in call center and telecommunications solutions, transforming struggling businesses into profitable ones. In his webinar, he provided a tactical review of what managers can do to improve call center performance. Dunn begins, “The Enterprise Performance Appraisal is an intensive, on-site business evaluation…Stakeholders should expect an objective analysis of the operating and financial realities of the business, delivered in a format that gives decision makers necessary information. It should be a prioritized set of strategic and tactical action items designed to meet key business goals, in areas of profitability, cost control, sales effectiveness, and operational efficiency. It should have a near-term implementation plan with measurable performance targets.” <a title="James Dunn Webinar" href="http://www.telstarhosted.com/james-dunn-webinar-on-appraising-call-center-performance-and-leveraging-the-cloud-tuesday-november-8-2-p-m-est/" target="_blank">View the webinar, read a synopsis and download the slides</a>.</p>
<p>In his webinar, Dunn covers how to identify the issues, conduct the Enterprise Performance Appraisal, and organize the results to improve performance. Dunn elaborates “We would…deliver the ten most important issues that we found. It was quite common for the CEO to look at us and say “that was just terrible, like getting report cards when I was a kid; however, you were absolutely correct.” He adds “A simple assessment gets buy-in when you start to implement new processes…so the enterprise performance appraisal is fairly simple. You take an issue, appraise it objectively, deliver those results and then you have a tactical plan to move forward.” Dunn emphasizes that an Enterprise Performance Appraisal is a customized engagement, and it needs senior executive sponsorship. “This is something that you can perform yourself, but whomever you assign this to should have an objective viewpoint” Dunn says.</p>
<p>Dunn then outlines three case studies of a private equity investment, a behavioral health company, and a fulfillment company for which he conducted Enterprise Performance Appraisals including a description of the issue, the expected practice, and the gap or opportunity that becomes part of the tactical plan.</p>
<p>Dunn states that a scoreboard is important for success. “What separates competitors from just players is having a scoreboard and a strong sense of responsibility to meet these goals.” Dunn remarks that “The contact center is “The Voice of the Customer.” Listen and evolve accordingly.” In one example, Dunn remarks that “Call Center Technology … many of us tend to think of as very static, but in many situations it is still a very disruptive technology.”</p>
<p>In one case study, Dunn elaborates how cloud-based hosted call center technology was a good application for the client. “Their core focus as a company is not on running IT or running call center. So in this case, there is this opportunity for them to work with a best of breed player like us with Vocalcom…where you can buy that call center technology via the cloud. It is in a secure environment, it can be stood up and managed quickly…they will have protected data, and be able to operate in the event of a disaster.”</p>
<p>In Dunn’s examples, he explains that “The cloud IT focus circumvents a lot of start-up time. If [the client]…were going to go out and build the call centers from scratch It would have added four to five months to the process plus a lot of cost because they are talking about several hundred seats…Also the call center providers today help extend the call center expertise and the reach that they would have had a hard time acquiring from scratch.”</p>
<p>Dunn concludes that companies can learn to perform a call center performance appraisal and improve performance, but success requires executive sponsorship, objectivity, functional area involvement, teamwork, and a focus on what is affordable and rapidly actionable in days not weeks, to stimulate growth and positive behavior within the organization. Dunn thanked Vocalcom for sponsoring the webinar and invited all attendees to contact TelStar Hosted with further questions.</p>

<p>[Leesburg, VA] TelStar Hosted Services, Inc., “Your Call Center in the Cloud!” and the only multi-vendor provider of hosted call center services, worked with TMC on an article discussing how to leverage surveys for qualified sales lead generation, and TelStar Hosted CEO James P. Dunn will present a free webinar on Appraising Call Center Performance and Leveraging the Cloud, on Tuesday November 8, 2011 at 2:00 PM EST/ 11:00 AM PST. Register for the webinar on TMCnet.com or on TelStarHosted.com.</p>
<p>The article reviews five steps to a successful survey campaign, namely: Pick a target audience and overall objectives, develop survey questions to meet the target audience and objectives, deploy the survey to a prequalified audience, gather results, qualify, score and reach out to sales leads. Afterwards, you can use the measurement data to refine the survey and lead generation criteria. The Whitepaper is available at TMCnet.com or on TelStarHosted.com.</p>
<p>Meghan Harris, SVP and CMO and manager of the lead generation survey process, notes that “it is important to have a targeted database of leads like the one TMCnet offers for call center services, and a survey that will appeal to your audience and also deliver highly qualified leads. Once the survey has generated qualified warm sales leads, you need to assign these immediately, qualify them and either carry them through the sales process or identify where the lead is in the buying process and flag them for future follow up if necessary.” For future endeavors, Harris states they will “narrow the questions in the survey to more accurately uncover companies with high purchase intent.”</p>
<p>In addition, TelStar Hosted worked with TMC’s Customer Interaction Solutions magazine and Vocalcom to present James P. Dunn, CEO, TelStar Hosted Services, Inc., conducting a free webinar on Appraising Call Center Performance and Leveraging the Cloud, on Tuesday November 8, 2011 at 2:00 PM EST/ 11:00 AM PST. James will provide call center managers with a methodology for conducting objective, pragmatic analyses of the operating and financial state of call center services, and an overview of how cloud-based call center services can help call center managers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness.
