Process of poll

The daily work of the agents is done on the agents’ interface of Virtual Call Center

Scripts is launched at the beginning of the call, which includes questions to be read aloud, and as a function of the answers received the agent can proceed toward the last page of the script. . The necessary administration can be completed by the agent as an afterwork, following the next call can be initiated or the agent can have a break. It is possible to get prepared to a call prior to dialling. This time the agent can overview the data sheet and call history of the client as a pre-work, then he or she can dial with a click.

Agent can easily set the time of the next call and the system will dial punctually to the minute. When necessary it can also be set which agent would call the client at the present time. Uncompleted questionnaires can any time be proceeded from that point.
