Podcast | In vs. On – How to turn every conversation into an infinite source of revenue

Podcast | In vs. On – How to turn every conversation into an infinite source of revenue

“Once you understand what isn’t working… the answer really becomes more clear,” says Michael Abenhaim, SVP of Americas Sales at Dubber.

Abenhaim describes a seismic challenge facing the service provider community and discusses a path forward. Native services and applications offered at a higher margin and lower cost, underpinned with 100% customer ownership will, according to Abenhaim, deliver the differentiation SPs and customers are looking for, but without deep partnering this solution is still difficult to realize. “By making conversational intelligence native on their network, service providers set the building blocks in place to deliver unique and valuable intelligence back to their customers in ways others are not or cannot,” Abenhaim adds.

In this podcast, Abenhaim opens the idea of conversational data as a place for providers to tap into, offering their customers an invaluable intelligence resource, and unlocking an underpenetrated revenue stream.

Dubber enables SPs to create infinite value by using technology to generate visibility within networks. Unlocking the value of the network starts IN the network.

Easy recording makes light work of call centre training

Easy recording makes light work of call centre training

Skills trainers know learning by example is an effective and fast way to teach new ideas. One of its strengths is in helping learners understand how to avoid common mistakes.

We learn by example all our lives. As small children we work out general rules by observing good and bad examples in the world around us.

As adults, we sharpen skills or improve techniques by observing best practice.

That was easier when we all worked side-by-side. The Covid pandemic and dealing with remote workforces brings new challenges for trainers.

Learning by example

Now customer service team leaders can use learning by example to train call centre staff.

At Devonport City Council in Tasmania, Customer Services Coordinator Danielle Harvey asks team members to identify calls that she should listen to in order to provide coaching on providing better answers.

The Council uses Dubber’s cloud-based call recording software simplifies capturing calls for training use.

This approach works just as well when teams are dispersed. Because Dubber is cloud-based, it captures calls in a central location where they can be shared with every team member.

Teams or individuals can review earlier calls and identify points where conversations took a turn for the worse.

Likewise, they can review calls, listening and analysing successful conversations. Trainers can build a library of real world best-practice examples.

Identify knowledge gaps

By listening to team members’ calls, trainers can identify knowledge gaps where staff might need extra coaching.

Soma IT,  a managed services provider, uses Dubber to review calls made by staff. COO Aaron Prout says his organisation makes sure team members have a full understanding of the products and services they sell. If not, extra training is given.

They can get a better understanding of how callers respond to scripts or set questions. It may be that these need tweaking to be better understood or to get better answers.

Leaders can identify if team members miss opportunities to upsell. This can involve playing calls back and then reminding team members: “this point in the call would be a good moment to mention X”.

The flip side of this is training team members on what they should not say.

Australia’s anti-hawking legislation means financial services businesses are not allowed to cross sell.

Avoid problems

Reviewing calls means trainers can identify where team members get close to crossing the line. They can coach them on how to avoid problems.

Dubber is ideal for recording calls for training use. It’s cloud based and works at the network level.

That means team leaders can cost-effectively capture all incoming voice communications. It doesn’t matter if they are traditional land-line, VoIP, mobile or via Zoom, Webex or Microsoft Teams, Dubber will get them all. Dubber can also capture calls when team members work from home.

Trainers can instantly replay calls recorded using Dubber anywhere they have a connection. There’s a web portal and a mobile app. Searching for specific calls is simple with a “google-like” search. Calls can be accessed by team member, customer or by using keywords.

Next Telecom: “Dubber means people buy our solution”

Next Telecom: “Dubber means people buy our solution”

Adam Cleary says Dubber enables them to meet customer demand. The Southern Sales Manager for Next Telecom says: “Having Dubber means people come to us and buy our solution where they want call recording for Microsoft Teams Calling or need it as part of a bigger picture. It’s an untapped space – there aren’t many people out offering a complete Teams package right now; Dubber means we are.”

Next Telecom began working with Dubber when it saw fast rising market demand for cloud-based call recording. The Australia-based provider of wholesale telecommunications products and services sells to clients around the world. Today Next Telecom has operations in Australia and New Zealand and globally via parent company Comms Group.

“A lot of businesses have been moving into direct routing and Microsoft Teams Calling. The trend really accelerated in the last couple of years with the pandemic. Once they’ve migrated across to the platform, they realise they need to add call recording. It may have been something they previously did with on-premise systems, but now realised it was missing”, Cleary says.

He says Next Telecom needed a product to meet growing customer demand: “They need call recording for compliance or employee coaching.”

Dubber gives Next Telecom a way to generate revenue and boost ARPU. Cleary says “We’re seeing approximately a 50% revenue increase per user when we add Dubber to a standard Teams Calling plan”.

Learn how Dubber enables Next Telecom to drive new revenue streams, deliver differentiated solutions and address customer needs.

Also importantly, it means Next Telecom can offer an end-to-end Teams solution. He says: “There are a lot of people offering Teams, but without call recording, it is not complete. With Dubber call recording together with our contact centre solution and analytics solution we can cover 90 per cent of the needs of the market that we deal with.”

This gives Next Telecom an important point of differentiation. Cleary says most of the companies offering Teams Calling can’t offer as much: “We wanted to be able to tell clients that we can do the lot and address all their requirements.”

While Dubber does generate revenue for Next Telecom, it is equally powerful for the way it enables Cleary to win new clients that might otherwise look elsewhere. He says one large client representing a significant amount of business needed cloud call recording as part of the solution and offering Dubber helped him secure the contract.

Cleary says: “We needed a call recording platform that worked with Microsoft Teams and spoke to a few vendors. At first, we ran with a different platform before we were introduced to Dubber but switched quickly mainly because Dubber has a simpler interface, is easier to use and has a more competitive price.”

Now Cleary uses that simplicity as a selling point when he shows Dubber to his clients: “The first time I demoed Dubber was five minutes after someone gave me the login details to a demo portal. I was demoing it for the first time and had no dramas.”

The depth of partnership and local support provided by Dubber is also a huge advantage. It is a genuine partnership that goes beyond product and technical support – Next Telecom can call on the Dubber team to support RFPs as well as larger customer opportunities.

Managed services provider BizPro IT Services is a Next Telecom reseller. Director Jae Atkins says he uses Dubber in the business and uses the experience to help sell it to his small business customers.

He says: “As a managed service provider, we deal with people who are having computer issues and that means they are already frustrated when they call us. We had a few issues where clients were being difficult and getting aggressive. With Dubber call recording I can easily find and listen to a call and coach the staff member on how to handle the incident.”

Atkins says, “Now we’re taking that to our clients. Because Dubber has worked so well for us, we can share our experience to sell more.”

There is a massive migration to cloud-based products, particularly with the growth in hybrid and remote working. He says: “It’s become essential for small to medium businesses to move on-premise solutions into the cloud – and Dubber being a cloud solution is an important selling point.”

Atkins, like Cleary, is drawn to Dubber’s simplicity. He says being able to simplify technology for his customers is a large part of what BizPro does. “The responsibility is on us to make sure we are offering the best vendor solutions. Offering a complete solution gives us the best opportunity with clients. We try to simplify everything for our clients.”

In vs. Over: Where Service Providers need to create value next

In vs. Over: Where Service Providers need to create value next

Conversations with leading service providers reveal common themes.

  • How do we increase margins  at a time when lower yield UC services are an increasing part of our overall sales?
  • How do we deliver value from heavy infrastructure investments like 5G?
  • How do we differentiate our services and create new sources of value?

Answering these questions often started with new offerings running over the top of the network. Could we offer streaming services? Could we sell applications? Could we bundle tangential services – like contact centre software?

The answers to these questions lead to a new set of issues. Costs and complexity of sales and marketing increased. Margin was small and elusive. Service and maintenance costs escalated as the Service Provider often became the first point of contact for issues related to third-party services. And, because often what was offered elsewhere, differentiation was weak.

The net result was more money was made by those running on the network, with value accruing to them and not the Service Provider – and the Service Provider incurred the costs of running the network.

“There is probably no other industry that has contributed more in the last 25 years to the welfare and productivity and expansion of economies as the telecom sector. … And you are right. We have not been able to capture a significant part of the new value chain.

… Today roughly 56 per cent of the capacity of the network—of the European networks in this case—is being used by only five over-the-top [OTT] players that pay nothing for the use of the network.”

José María Álvarez-Pallete López ,chairman and CEO of Telefónica S.A. and board chairman of GSMA, Mckinsey Journal, 2022

In the network is the answer.

Service Providers are increasingly scaling back non-core over-the-top service offerings, reducing cost and complexity and returning their focus to extracting the value from services in the network.

This shift in focus is increasingly centred on one of the primary reasons networks exist – conversations in all their forms: voice, video, and text. Rather than simply focusing on monetising the connection that makes the conversation possible, the question is how to turn those conversations into a source of value for the customer and Service Provider.

A new generation of network-embedded services unlocks the ability to turn conversations into data and render that data meaningful through AI, machine learning, and natural language processing.

Imagine a Cisco Webex meeting taking place and the actions automagically summarised in a branded widget exclusive to a Service Provider and their customers. Or a crucial moment in a conversation between a tradie and their client being transcribed and summarised in a text for the tradie to share with other workers on the job. How about a customer satisfaction app unique to a Service Provider summarising customer satisfaction ratings from that day’s service calls, keywords, and agent performance?

Before today, doing any of this required heavy-weight enterprise applications, complex integration and a myriad of increasingly complex services.

Today, this is possible thanks to a new generation of network native services, instantly provisioned and integrated with the Service Providers’ billing engines. The workloads and costs associated with legacy transcription services are replaced with new services concentrating on where the conversations’ value occurs. And critically, the resulting data becomes a customer magnet, reducing churn and creating a foundation on which any number of new innovative services can be created.

Unlocking the value of the network starts in the network. It is the first place to begin improving revenue, retention and innovation.
