FarmOut Central Intouch, Inc – Dagupan City’s premiere contact center, was very fortunate in joining the Jobs Fair held at the Tayug National High School, in tayug, Pangasinan last July 24, 2009. This was participated in by different companies representing various sectors and industries which were eyeing workforce to come from that area.

This was spearheaded by Secretary Hermogenes Cendana Esperon, Jr of the Presidential Management Staff in Malacanang. The event was swarmed by job seekers who were not only from Tayug, but also from various municipalities in the 6th District of Pangasinan. Close to seven hundred (700) hopefuls filled the auditorium of the said high school. FarmOut was able to eye on some potential call center agents from the area and is excited to accommodate their training to have them prepared for the challenges of call center work.

FarmOut was glad to see that a lot of the applicants preferred applying with us versus BPOs from farther locations. Our proximity to their hometown was a great factor. Some applicants were thankful also that FarmOut was able to bring the call center industry closer to home.

They know that jobs in call centers are very rewarding and can provide them with really good compensation and benefits.

Imagine, this lessens the need for people to travel far just to get a good-paying job. Lesser number of families, too, that need to bear the distance of separation just because of work.

There is nothing more important than getting something right.  I have repeatedly been applying for various contact centers and have failed to get in at every attempt. It was getting so irritating and frustrating. There must be something wrong with what I was doing.

I was desperate. And in this desperation came the idea that maybe I needed something more to get me through. Then along came FarmOut with their offer of equipping me with the skills I would need to get the job I wanted. I enjoyed the training a lot! The people at FOCI Training Center are very supportive and gave me the knowledge to make up for my weaknesses.  Most of all, their job application coaching was really very, very effective.

After my training, I immediately went back to the company that I have been trying to get in to. It was a snap! I got the job I wanted. Awesome! Thank you, FOCI!

The call center world has really been very inviting. Despite the distance from the course I took up in college, I chose to take on the challenge of working in a contact center because I know that this is going to be very rewarding.

I knew that I did lack some skills so I started to look for a training center that could provide me with the knowledge I needed to get the work I want. Farmout Central Intouch Training center did just that. My speaking skills were further honed and my knowledge of the call center industry was increased.

This has now led me to land a great job that I really enjoy and is all as rewarding as I though it would be. Thanks to Farmout!

FarmOut Central Intouch, Incorporated’s Head for Training, Jonathan Daoana, has just finished his certification training to be a qualified Call Center Training Assessor.

This qualifies Jonathan to be one of the Philippines’ first few assessors for people who have undergone training with the TESDA Call Center Agent Finishing Course.  This also makes FarmOut Training Center qualified of applying as a TESDA Assessment Center for the mentioned course.

This is just another activity that proves FarmOut’s thrust of providing quality training for individuals who would want to take on the challenge of becoming some of the best call center agents in the country. We aim for nothing but giving the best training to produce the best agents for our contact center and for our partner BPOs which we help provide workforce to.

We are borrowing concepts from the book “Lead Generation for the Complex sale” by Caroll.  Here is the basic definition of a GOOD LEAD:

B = Budget, the prospect has it, or can get it.
A = Authority, the prospect can decide on the matter.
N= Nees, the prospect clearly has a need for our service
T = Time frame, normally, the prospect wants to implement this within 3 months
S = Sales Ready, the prospect is ready to meet face to face with a sales rep.

Now, if we are to split the functions of the lead research team and the Lead Nurturing team (contact center agents), the lead research team’s responsibility is to find the “A” or people in authority to decide ie. get their right contact details, company background, and possibly, the “N” or the Needs of that company.

Whereas the contact center agents’ role would be to find out the B,T and S.  This means that the Contact center agents must do Lead Nurturing. The team needs to build solid long term relationship to be able to find out how they can help the prospect and get the Budget, time frame and gauge the ‘Sales readiness’.

Only when all 5 are present do we consider this a “Good Lead”.

Here are some ways to measure the effectiveness of the Lead generation efforts:

  1. Total cost / number of “Good Leads”
  2. Total cost / Closed Deals (actual billable clients)
  3. Number of Leads require to generate a single closed deal.
  4. Lead to sales conversion ratio
