Launching your own business can give you wings to meet your professional goals at double speed. You can be your own boss and what is even more important is you can boost your earnings. Having your own business can help you put your full caliber upfront and increase revenue generation to increase ROI (Returns over Investment). There are multiple options to launch and run a successful business. One of the most profitable options is launching your own call center business using a call center solution.
The call center business is quite in-demand and launching this business has also become very easy. Acquiring the best and most intelligent call center software is not difficult or even that expensive. All you need to do is have the right plan, the right software, and the right technology partner. Â
In this blog post, we will share important tips and a complete guide that can help you launch your own call center business. Â
Here are the top aspects that you will need to consider.Â
Let’s explore each of these aspects and how you can strategically make a decision.Â
1. Business
This aspect defines the type of business you can get started with or run. There are multiple types of call center solutions available in the market. Defining your business model and type can help you further with finding the right software, too.Â
There are two major models of call center business.Â
a) Running your own call center
This can be the easiest way with moderate to high competition depending on your region or business market. You can use an omnichannel contact center solution to gain a competitive edge as this is a digitized era and customers use different types of communication channels to connect with businesses.Â
Boost agent productivity with our intuitive call center management solutions
A call center can run inbound, outbound or/and blended campaigns for its clients to generate revenue. You will need to find local or global clients that are interested in outsourcing their customer care, sales, survey, and similar campaigns for businesses like yours that provide call center services.Â
The advantage of this model is that it would be cheaper to get started and launch your business. The disadvantage can be high competition in your area. However, the right strategy with pricing or unique offering can help you capture the market with ease.Â
b) Offering a call center solution as a product or service (Use PaaS or SaaS model)
Another option to launch your own business is running a business as a call center software provider to call centers that want to offer customer care, survey, sales, and similar services. You can provide them the solution as a service (SaaS) or a product as a service (PaaS) to let them run their business, while you can make money from your software.
You will need a multi tenant contact center solution. You may also need a cloud based solution to swiftly run your SaaS or PaaS business. A call center billing solution will be another required tool to run a business as a software provider.
The benefit of running this type of business is that the competition will be low or moderate as there are not many providers of this software as a SaaS or PaaS option. A majority of call center software providers offer a licensed solution. This gives you the option to earn more with low competition. The challenge can be, finding this type of client. However, this won’t be a big challenge as the market is wide open.
2. Technical
Once you define the type of business you want to run, the next step is to think about technical infrastructure. Depending on your business model, you will need a single tenant or multi tenant contact center solution. In both cases, you can use an omnichannel contact center solution and a cloud based solution to leverage the advantages related to using them.
A call center billing system is a must if you choose the second business model based on SaaS or PaaS. It will automate the whole billing process, which is a must to run a seamless business. Manual processing of billing would be too complicated.Â
Depending on your business model, you will also need to define the setup time that you will use for your business. It can be any of the following:Â
     (1) Single serviceÂ
     (2) Distributed setup
     (3) Cluster setupÂ
         ->With failover and load balancing
         -> Without failover and load balancing
If you find all these technicalities too difficult to decode, nothing to worry about as your call center software provider will guide you once you discuss your plan.Â
