DILEMMA UNIT 7

...DILEMMA UNIT 7...
Inter State is a new York based company specialised in providing domestic insurance for private individuals and small corporations.
Interstate is currently considering outsourcing all or part of its 150 persons call centre to an overseas location in order to reduce its operating costs. The call centre currently processes calls from both insurance agents and enquiries from members of the public within the USA. Several groups of managers have been asked to research different host countries in order to evaluate their potential to host a pilot project which should take over full responsibility for all call centre operations within twelve months. The management teams will be meeting later in the day to present their recommendations. The following countries have been selected as potential hosts.

DECISIÓN

Well, in this case there are a Lumber of issues that have to be Looked at. First, there is the question of Business performance itself. Is it really going to be worthwhile for this company to take parto f its Business offshore? There is not much doubt-it will be cheaper at least in the short-term. But there is a downside and that could produce some surprises for any company. The image of the company may well suffer as a result of a decision to offshore, and the potential impact of that is difficult to measure. We´ve already seen that sort of thing happening and some companies have even had to bring back work that they had outsourced.

This, of course, could be made worse by union industrial action. Other problems down the line? Well, when you offshore a critical part our you bussines , your really have to have a fall back strategy if something goes disastrously wrong.this could be wath we call "multi-shoring", where you have and alternative service provider in another country you can switch to if things go wrong.

That way, if there is a major appreciation in wages or foreigh currency, a dispute with your local provider or any sort of instability, you are not in danger.

So you know, i think that if i were being asked to choose a dstination for an outsourcing operation, I would advise the company to think very carefully about "multi-shoring" that way they can minimise the risks and transfers operation to another destination i something goes wrong.

...RePoRt..
Have you ever noticed that your customers know more about your solutions and products than both you and your technical consultant?
And the buyer always knows more about the market and the competition than you ever will find out!
How come we as salespeople always seem to find the "compelling reason to act now" while our customers seem to drift in and out through the quarters constantly finding new reasons not to act now?
And have you also found out that no matter what industry you're in, the yield and conversion rate from first contact to actually customer never exceeds 7%, and usually only after stalking the customers for a couple of quarters...
If your job as a salesrepresentative is not to give the customer information (since they already have more of that than we do), and there never seem to be a reason to act now, then WHAT IS OUR ROLE?
How can we show up and help the customer to decide, and save them and ourselves a lot of time while more quickly finding more prospects that can and will use our solutions to solve their business problems.
I just realized that most of us only get training on the sell-side of the equation. Some people get trained on the buy-side of the equation.
But noone gets training on how to coach the buyer to make better buying decisions. It takes two to tango, both salespeople and buyers, but the music has changed, and it's time to learn a new kind of dance, it's time for buying facilitation.
