    Mitchell Kahl, Sales Manager, SIP.US

    In my role at SIP.US, I've seen the transformative power of SIP trunking for healthcare providers navigating new markets. A notable example involves a group of medical clinics that leveraged our virtual call center capabilities. By integrating SIP trunking, they reduced communication costs by 50% and improved patient call handling efficiencies, leading to a 30% boost in patient inquiries from new regions.

    In another instance, adopting SIP technology enabled a healthcare provider to seamlessly enter rural markets without establishing physical locations. The ability to route calls efficiently and provide remote consultations increased patient reach by 40%. This flexibility in communication

    Vincent Cerniglia, Principal, Noreast Capital Corporation

    In my experience with Noreast Capital, leveraging flexible financial solutions, including outsourced call centers, has been instrumental in helping various sectors, like healthcare, effectively enter and expand new markets. We worked with a healthcare provider that increased their patient outreach by 35% within six months thanks to strategic equipment leasing, which also involved utilizing outsourced call center operations to handle patient inquiries efficiently.

    For example, a client in the medical imaging sector used call centers to schedule appointments, answer inquiries, and manage follow-ups. This not only improved customer service satisfaction rates but allowed the healthcare provider to focus on expanding services without putting extra strain on their staff. Outsourced call centers enabled them to penetrate new regions with a 20% increase in patient bookings, clearly showcasing how such integrations can facilitate market expansion.

    David Pumphrey, CEO, Riveraxe LLC

    At Riveraxe LLC, we've seen how outsourced call centers can significantly boost healthcare providers by expanding their market reach. For one of our clients, a mid-sized healthcare practice, we deployed an outsourced call center that specialized in multilingual support. This allowed them to enter non-English-speaking regions effectively, increasing patient engagement by 30% in just six months.

    The call center also offered 24/7 support, which was pivotal for handling international time zones and after-hours inquiries. This capability enabled our client to tap into international markets, conrributing to a 15% revenue increase in the first year. By leveraging outsourced call centers, healthcare providers can break geographical barriers, accessing a wider patient base and improving service accessibility worldwide

    Corin Dolan, Owner, AccuTech Communications

    At AccuTech Communications, we have worked with healthcare providers to improve their communication infrastructure, indirectly aiding market expansion. For example, we partnered with a regional healthcare provider to upgrade their entire network cabling system, which significantly improved their internal and external communication processes. This improvement enabled them to support outsourced call centers more effectively, leading to a 15% increase in appointment scheduling efficiency.

    Moreover, by implementing advanced VoIP systems as part of their communication overhaul, the provider reduced their telecommunication costs by around 20%, allowing them to allocate more resources toward marketing in new regions. This cost-efficiency was critical in their strategy to enter and sustain presence in untapped markets. Our role was pivotal in ensuring that the technical backbone was strong enough to support these expansions.

    Dr.Jennifer Silver, Dentist & Owner, Macleod Trail Dental Clinic

    […] So we partnered with an outsourced call center.

    One of the biggest improvements we saw was in patient retention. Our call center partner introduced an automated reminder system, significantly reducing no-show rates by around 30% in the first six months. Having a team available to answer questions after hours also meant that patients had more access to our services, which helped us capture more appointments and build stronger patient relationships.

    With their multilingual support, we connected with patients who previously found it challenging to engage with our clinic due to language barriers. This improved patient satisfaction and helped us expand into new communities. By the end of the first year, we had a significant 15% increase in patient appointments, a clear sign of progress and success. The positive feedback from our patients regarding the convenience and support they experienced was invaluable.

    If you care about your business, chances are you’re looking for ways to grow relationships with your customers with the hopes of retaining them because they are the lifeblood of every business.

    You can use multiple channels to connect with and engage your customers and if properly done, has multiple benefits like enhanced customer loyalty, competitive advantage, increased revenue, and lots more. Out of the numerous ways to do this, here are some fun customer engagement ideas you can try out in 2022:

    Fun Customer Engagement Ideas You Can Try

    Use social media

    Social media platforms are not just for people to connect with other people, they can also be where brands connect with other people.

    They can act as an effective tool for customer engagement if used properly. Create posts that people will love to read, respond to, share, and relate with. A funny or inspirational post related to your brand is likely to gain more attention than a boring post that talks about the amazing services you offer or leads to your catalog. You can also use social media to get users’ feedback and be one step ahead of your competitors.

    Treat Your Customers Like Royalty

    Always keep in touch with your customers. Send them personalized messages that let them know that you have their best interest at heart and will always be ready to serve them. Send them useful information about how to preserve or fully utilize the products or services you offer them.

    Make them feel special by letting them know before you make major changes to how you run your business – when your customer service would be unavailable, or when you’re upgrading a product or launching a new one.

    Reward Most Engaged Customers

    Regularly rewarding the customers you’ve built the best relationships with would encourage other customers to pay more attention to your brand. You can reward them by giving cash prizes, special gifts, exclusive deals, and offers or by gifting them your products for some percentage off or enjoying your services for free for a limited time.

    Free Trial

    When customers feel skeptical about whether they trust you enough to buy your product or whether they need that product, you can offer them an opportunity to try out your products or services for free for a limited amount of time and they can upgrade if they like it.

    Offering something for free attracts people to try it out and if they love it then they’d consider spending money on it to be worth it, thereby boosting customer engagement rate.

    Customer Support

    Customers are real people that run into problems that need solving and questions that need answering. Your customer support team should be focused on making your customer’s experience a great one with fluent communication skills that show the customer that you care about them, not their money.
    Customer engagement is a journey, not a destination. Building a great customer experience is now a necessity and ignoring it can cripple your chances of winning and retaining new customers.
