Automated Quality Assurance is a boon to Call Center Compliance

Before we jump into how automated quality assurance goes well with call center compliance, let’s understand the various challenges in its absence.  

The Challenges With Manual Quality Assurance

Limited Efficiency

A call center comprises tons of tasks and processes, let alone endless customer calls. Without AI, compliance departments may struggle to keep up with the increasing volume and complexity of regulations and compliance requirements.

High Risk of Errors

Compliance departments relies on manual processes to review and assess compliance risks, which can lead to errors and oversights. 

High-Cost

Manual compliance processes can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, which can drive up costs and reduce efficiency.

The Benefits of Automated Quality Assurance

Long gone are the days when manual QA used to be the only option to make sure that the agents were following the regulatory norms in customer calls. 

A report states that most companies are able to evaluate only 3 to 10 calls per agent per month. What about the rest of the calls? 

As a matter of fact, a call center with 150 agents roughly goes through an average of 390,000 calls per month. 

Thanks to AI, automated quality assurance came into existence. With automated QA, call centers can now audit 100% of calls. 

With automated QA, you can - 

  • Prevent Compliance Breaches with 100% monitoring.
  • Utilize Auto QA to ensure every call interaction is evaluated and scored for compliance and code of conduct.
  • Point out areas of improvement on the occurrence of unintentional compliance violations and upskill the agents. 
  • Fill agents’ product knowledge gap, which many times become a reason for episodes of misselling.

What Is Misselling?

Quote: “I have seen quite a few victims of such unethical practices. Institutions tend to exploit money from gullible customers using a range of products that they don't have a clear understanding of. Misleading and misselling have affected the finances of billions of people, and this issue needed to be addressed.” - Founder and CEO, MBA CHAI WALA.

Misselling refers to the misrepresentation of a product or service to the customer in order to successfully complete a sale.

Some of the common causes for misselling includes:

  • Customer’s lack of knowledge regarding the product or service. 
  • Urgency of sales reps to meet targets or deadlines. 
  • Fraudulent intentions of sales reps. 

Misselling can be categorized into two types, namely -

Types of Misselling

1. Material Misrepresentation

A material misrepresentation refers to the episode of disguising the features, functions, or genuineness of the product or service.  

2. Suitability

Remember Adam from earlier? Adam was manipulated into purchasing life insurance when the product was completely unsuitable for his case. Adam’s case is a classic case of unsuitability. 

When a product or service does not meet the use-case of the client’s requirements, forcefully selling them violates business compliance.
