headsets and business telephone recording.
 

Four Good reasons to record all telphone calls.

If your question is not addressed here, or you are still confused about which telephone recorder is right for your particular application, please call us a t 800-444-5217

  • Q.  You have so many different models - which one should I order?
  • A.  There are many different telephone recorders to choose from. We try to keep it simple - believe it or not - but our product list has grown over the years in response to customer demand and changing telephone recorder technologies, and we want to continue to provide a broad range of telephone recording solutions to meet your needs. The best way to find the right telephone recorder for your application is to contact one of our technical advisors by phone: 800-444-5217 email: bruce@bigdcom.com . The first questions we will normally ask are:
    • Will you be using handsets, headsets or both? 
    • Do you need beeps to let people know they are recording? 
    • What make and model telephone recorder and telephone sets will you be using?

If you contact us with the answers to these questions ready, we should be able to recommend the best telephone recording solution for your application.

  • Q. Is it legal to record telephone conversations?
  • A. Laws vary from state to state, but generally the safest thing is to make sure both parties consent to recording. This can be accomplished by inserting a beep tone into the call every 15 seconds or announcing that the call is being recorded. Consult an attorney for the laws in your state. For information concerning applicable laws, you can link to the following website - http://www.rcfp.org/taping/cwt_menu.html However, this link is provided only for information purposes. Do not act upon any of this information without seeking professional advice from an attorney. The linked website was created by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, not by Big D Communication and Big D Communication does not warrant that the information found on its pages is accurate or current.
  • Q. Do I need to put beeps on the call to let people know they are being recorded?
  • A. Again, contact an attorney for legal advice, but generally speaking, if you want to use your telephone recordings for legal purposes, you need to either 1) announce that the call is being recorded or 2) put a beep on every 15 seconds that everyone on the call can hear.
  • Q. Does Big D Communication have any "Back Room" telephone recording solutions - something that we can install in the phone closet? A. We do have digital to analog converter systems available for many popular phone systems. Call 800-444-5217 or email bruce@bigdcom.com for information on your specific requirement
  • FOUR GOOD REASONS TO RECORD ALL INTERACTIONS
    By Jake White

    Four good reasons to record ALL interactions
    By Jake White, Marketing Director, HigherGround, Inc.

    Call recording solutions in the business market have traditionally been dissected into two product categories, quality monitoring (selective recording) and logging (full-time or 100% recording). This labeling is a bit misleading. The inference is that only systems that record a sample of the telephone calls contribute to quality improvements. In fact, full-time telephone recording is now the preferred method to improve quality performance and additional key performance indicators (KPIs).

    For the past two years analyst firms have conducted in-depth studies of the contact center telephone recording market and concluded there is a significant trend toward full-time recording. The PELORUS Group discovered that the 2004 vendor sales of systems configured to provide full-time recording greatly surpassed sales of systems designed to provide only selective recording (often called ?service observance? or ?100% via business rules?). Full telephone recording now accounts for nearly 60 percent of the total dollar value of system purchased and that percentage is expected to grow through their forecast horizon of 2009.

    The four main reasons for the trend to full telephone recording are improved agent performance, better understanding of consumer behavior, dispute resolution, and compliance.

    Improved agent performance - Even the best-run call centers sample no more than 1% ? 4% of agent calls per month for quality evaluation purposes. Often, the calls selected for monitoring are those that fall outside some acceptable threshold, such as call length, number of transfers, wrap-up and hold time. This is acceptable for coaching, but if used for evaluation as well, it distorts the true picture of the agent?s performance under more normal situations. By drawing from the full universe of monthly calls, supervisors can draw separate samples for evaluation and coaching.

    Better understanding of customer behavior and motivations - The average customer service agent handles approximately 1300 calls each month. Over the course of a year a 200-agent call center will handle 3.1 million consumer calls. What a rich treasure trove of valuable consumer information! Hidden within this massive data base are answers to questions corporate marketing departments spend hundreds of thousands ? even millions - of dollars to find out through third party market research. This is information that can change the way their employers sell, price, and support the company?s products and services. But the treasure can only be mined if it is first captured and stored.

    Dispute resolution - Over one-third of customer queries are sales-related. During these calls promises are made, instructions are given, and deals are struck. Absent tangible evidence of what was said during these discussions can escalate into unpleasant he-said, she-said disputes that fray customer relations, harm staff morale or lead to unwarranted law suits.

    Compliance with laws and regulations ? Local, state and federal regulations can potentially impact call center operations. The Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act with its two Telemarketing Sales Rules (1995 and 2004) include many provisions that effect up-selling and cross-selling. There are specific disclosure requirements and requirements for Express Verifiable Authorization and Express Informed Consent. The best way to prove compliance is to record and archive all interactions. Other federal laws that impact specific types of call centers are the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

    Common objections to recording and archiving 100 percent of transactions including higher front end costs, storage requirements and data accessibility, have largely been addressed with recent advances in technology. These advances have allowed companies to convert to full-time recording, without experiencing cost increases to their organization, in an effort to improve agent performance and customer satisfaction.

    The question now is why would you not record all  transactions?

  • Call Big D Communication www.bigdcom.com 800-444-5217  to discuss your telephone recording requirements. We have solutions for both large and small phone recordinging requirements.

  • What is phone recording?

    Phone recording, also known as voice logging has been around for

    nearly as long as phones. It consists of attaching a recording device

    to phone lines in a business setting and having a way of playing back

    these recordings. Call centers were early adapters and most of us are

    familiar with the little recording at the beginning of a call that reminds us

    that ?this call may be recorded for training or quality assurance purposes?

    dialog. Now all kinds of businesses are using phone recording.

    The ROI on a phone recording solution

    There are many reasons why businesses choose to purchase a phone

    recording solution. Here are the top 5 Return on investment (ROI) arguments

    for implementing one of our solutions.

    1 Liability: Resolve disputes and protect your company with recorded evidence.

    2 Quality control: Improve employee performance and customer satisfaction.

    3 Security: Detect or deter security breaches and inappropriate calls.

    4 Training: Coach employees with examples of high & low quality calls.

    5 Marketing data: learn about your customers and their response to your marketing.

    What does a phone recording solution consist of?

    1 A Microsoft Windows PC.

    2 Voice recording boards that plug into the PCI slot of the PC.

    3 The software used to record, manage, search, grade and access the recordings.

    Our systems can connect to analog or digital telephone, T1/E1/PRI/BRI/ISDN, or any radio or

    other audio lines and record all conversations on those lines. Recordings are stored as separate

    files and saved on the recorder PC?s hard drive. Optionally, a second copy of the recordings can

    be automatically backed up to archive media (DVD+RW, network, external drive, etc.). Users can

    search and playback the recordings on any PC over the network, a web browser or even a phone.

    Choose the right

    solution in 3 steps

    or

    Step 1: Turnkey system or a Kit?

    Turnkey system simplicity...

    Turnkey systems are the simplest way to start recording and

    managing your calls. They come completely pre-configured for your

    specific needs and include the PC, recording cards as well as all the

    necessary software, cabling and accessories.

    Kit savings

    We were the first to offer kit phone recording solutions and the reason

    is the savings. You can save thousands and putting the kit together is as

    simple as plugging the card into the PCI slot of your existing computer,

    installing the software and hooking up the cables. These kits include the

    recording card and all necessary software, cabling, and accessories.

    Step 2: How many phone or trunk lines to record?

    Our recording solutions can record from 4 to 256 phone lines or channels in a

    single system and multiple systems can be linked to record well over 1000 lines!

    Step 3: How would you like to manage your recordings?

    All our solutions come with Call Logger software and unlimited licenses of the Client remote

    access software which allows you to monitor and manage your recordings from the host

    server or remote machines. You can also purchase options that allow you to easily monitor

    and manage your recordings remotely via a web browser (Web client) or even by phone with

    an automated attendant (Phone client). See how these work in the diagram on page 14.

    Call Logger & Monitor: Included with every Turnkey system and Kit. (no extra charge)

    Options: Empower road warriors, technophobes, and users of any non-windows OS with:

    Web client: Search & access your recordings as WAV files on any platform via a browser.

    calls. Grade and add custom notes to call recordings as they are made.

    Search & manage call recordings

    Search by trunk line or extension, by caller id, dialed number, search note, time

    / date or even call duration. Calendars and scroll bars make it easy to search

    by beginning or ending dates and times. An interactive graphical playback bay

    allows you to fast forward, rewind, or pause a call while you are listening to it. Book

    mark important recordings and add notes to calls for customized documentation and

    organization. Recordings can be saved and easily sent via E-mail.

    Improve employee effectiveness

    Easily analyze and grade past calls or conduct live employee call tests. You may define

    multiple tests containing unique sets of grading criteria. You can simultaneously search

    for, listen to and grade calls as well as giving employees access to recordings for training

    and improvement. Analyze and use results for easy employee reviews.

    Report and communicate results

    Generate a variety of reports and graphs based on user-defined criteria. A selection of

    predefined reports makes it easy to gather information efficiently. A variety of graphs and colors

    make it easy to view information and identify trends. Graphs and reports may be viewed on your

    screen, saved, exported to a .pdf, csv, MS access, excel or word files.

    Auto archiving for security

    Call Logger software can be easily configured for automatic archiving, guaranteeing your protection

    against verbal disagreements for many years to come. You can automatically archive to removable

    media such as DVD+RW, CD-RW and USB drives as well as archiving your recordings to network

    shared drives and/or to a remote FTP site or a network storage server. Audio and visual alarms will notify

    you when your media is full, while continuing to mark new recordings to be archived as soon as a new

    blank media is inserted.
