Summary

  • About 20% of all web traffic for hotel booking services transition into phone calls to check for unpublished deals, and confirm, change, or cancel reservations.
  • Most hotel booking services engage traditional BPO contact centers to handle their calls or the overflow from in-house teams. But daily spikes and surges routinely exceed capacity well beyond acceptable limits.
  • Our hotel booking client receives between 1.5M-2M website visits per month which translates to about 300,000 - 400,000 calls per month or about 10,000 - 13,300 calls per day.
  • Not wanting competitors to pick up their lost calls, our client chose to rely on Agents Only’s scalable on-demand solution. The results were astounding.

Their Challenges

There is an inherent seasonality in the Hospitality Industry with about 3-months of summer surges and a long 5-months of slower winter volume.

While traditional BPO contact centers are a great option for adding capacity, they are still limited in their ability to hire, train, schedule, and manage enough agents to handle the exceptionally high call spikes and then reallocate or lay-off those agents during the winter recession.

Adding to this conundrum, contact center agents are typically paid by the hour and are held accountable to the amount of calls they answer per shift. Yet the emphasis on quantity of calls over quality of service often leads to frustrated customers and lower conversions.

Our Solution

Our hotel booking client realized they could either follow the pack and yield similar results or diverge from the conventional model to lead by example.

In less than 30-days, Agent’s Only had already begun exceeding expectations.

We harnessed the power of our global GigCX community to entice seasoned, multilingual sales and hospitality specialists to apply. Then our AI-assisted training tools and automated feedback algorithms got them up and running at optimal efficiency while they began breaking industry conversion records.
