Qfiniti Survey Delivers Direct Link Between Customer Satisfaction and Agent Performance
IRVING, TEXAS, April 25, 2006 - etalk, a leading provider of contact center software and services, announced today that Qfiniti Survey, a powerful automated customer survey application, is now fully integrated onto etalk's single platform of call center solutions, Qfiniti Enterprise. In addition to customer surveys, Qfiniti Enterprise delivers a full suite of contact center solutions for quality monitoring, agent coaching and evaluation and advanced speech analytics - all in a single interface.
Qfiniti Survey provides a powerful and direct link between customer satisfaction scores and agent performance within the call center by recording both the agent/customer interaction and the subsequent customer input via interactive voice response (IVR), and then linking those recordings to the evaluation process.
Only Qfiniti Survey establishes this direct link between the performance of a contact center and the customer satisfaction that drives the business. Now with additional functionality that allows greater analysis of customer responses, Qfiniti Survey is even more advanced than etalk's previous survey tools.
"We think it is incredibly important to survey customers and be able to immediately act on the feedback they provide. We have found that surveys are a vital tool for driving corporate strategy in and providing superior customer service," said Vanessa D. Williams, Manager, Training and Employee Development with CenterPoint Energy, a utility company that utilizes etalk's customer survey technology.
According to a recently released Gartner report, customer surveys can carry significant ROI benefits.
"From being able to finely tune services and products to customers' needs, to actually increasing cross-sell and up-sell transactions by 15 percent to 20 percent, feedback is the most-powerful tool for CRM users," said Gartner analyst Esteban Kolsky in a 2006 report, "Implement Customer Satisfaction Management Processes to Improve Revenue."
Qfiniti Survey offers the ability to survey the customer immediately after the call. Real-time customer feedback is significantly more accurate than data collected later.
"Information gathered from a customer immediately after an event is 40 percent more accurate than information gathered 24 hours later," Kolsky said.
Companies using third parties to conduct customer surveys pay approximately $30 per call. A study last year conducted by Dick Bucci, an analyst with the Pelorus Group, illustrated that companies could save as much as $144,000 per year by shifting from outsourced surveys to in-house, automated surveys, while simultaneously increasing the total quantity of surveys by more than 300 percent.*
Qfiniti Survey Features
The only enterprise call center application that offers a direct, immediate link between agent performance and customer satisfaction scores.

* Savings estimate based on company paying average of $30 per call for monthly third-party surveys with a sample size of 400 surveys per month.
