Call Center Staffing calculator - User Guide

As a leading call center outsourcing services provider, Flatworld Solutions offers a whole gamut of reliable and cost-effective call center services to global customers across varied industries, such as Real Estate, Travel, Airlines and Banking amongst others. For over a decade, after having worked with both small businesses and large-scale industry leaders, we have experienced that the most common question which clients have in mind before outsourcing is - "how many agents and what sort of budget do I require to support my desired service level?"

At Flatworld Solutions, we have always been one step ahead of the curve, and after observing a sizeable requirement for one, we have developed a unique Call Center Staffing Calculator that answers the following questions -

• How many call center agents are required to realistically back my call center expansion plans?
• What would it cost to achieve my preferred service level?

Call Center Resource Planning Calculator - An Introduction

Our Call center FTE calculator utilizes user input for different variables such as call count, project and service type, designated country, regular handling time, and shift coverage preferences to ascertain the required number of call center representatives, and cost incurred per week.

Unique Domains for Outbound Calling-

One-time Outbound Calling

1. Total Number of Leads

   Enter the total number of prospective customers (leads), that you want to be called for the selected time-frame.

2. Number of Attempts Required

   As is evident from the name itself, here you need to specify the maximum number of calls attempts to reach a lead, if the call goes unanswered the first time. By default, the number of attempts permitted is cut-off at 5.

3. Deadline (Days)

   Simply specify the duration of days within which you would require our call center agents to conclude making outbound calls to all prospective leads.

Ongoing Outbound Calling

1. Manual / Predictive Dialing

   Here you can either choose the preferred calling method to be manual or predictive. If unsure, you can choose the "Do not know" option. In that case, the calculator will provide you rates for both.

2. Head Count Required

   Here you need to simply enter the total number of agents you want to be working on your on-going outbound call center project.
