Dear Mr. Masood Haider, I appreciate your interest in setting up of a call center. To give you a brief overview, In my experience it takes as little as 10 operational seats to become profitable in the call center in dustry depending upon the type of project you have. This means that you can have upto 40 agents on staff if your require 24 hr operations. Majority of the call centers in Pakistan are concentrating on outbound telemarketing campaigns which have a higher yield compared to inbuond customer service type contracts. But a higher risk is involved because in outbound campaigns payment are directly related to number of sales made by your agents. Inbound is more stable since it focuses on long term contracts. Multiple touch points are important for call centers looking to provide inbound services. As a general rule, start with telemarketing since its easier to get contracts through brokers etc. and then move to a 60% outbound and 40% inbound split. I hope this information is helpful, for further details or to arrange a meeting, please contact me

[Yousaf Khan]

Mr. Zubair, Its great to see you’re interested in one of Pakistan’s fastet growing IT sectors. Jobs are basically available for the taking for any individual possessing good English and preferably an accent from USA, UK or Australia. Some of the larger call centers are TRG, Touchstone Communications, Call Central, Ovex etc.

For call center setup you will need some softwares which can automate the whole Inbound/Outbound calling process. It will save your time as well as cost.
You can choose from the softwares like.. Predictive Dialer, automated callcenter software, PBX systems etc.
For your knowledge…
Predictive dialer is PC based dialogic predictive dialing solutions including call center software.
automated callcenter software with Answering Machine Detection and Automated Attendant with Call transfer features built into one software package.
Similarly other softwares can help you. You can choose acc. to your need…
I can tell you one source which i have refered when i setted up the call center i.e http://www.tctecno.com
I hope it help…
