Highly flexible solution helps HSN easily handle fluctuating call volume.

Objective:

HSN, one of the world's largest multi-channel retailers, sought a cost-effective and flexible contact solution that would allow them to scale up or down quickly with high quality agents.

Solution:

HSN utilized West at Home to provide them with better educated agents and increased staffing flexibility during peak calling periods such as seasonal activity or special programming.

Results:

  • Average over 1,900 trained home-based agents with over 190 simultaneous agents during staffed hours.
  • Program was up and operational within a 6 week period.
  • Ability to ramp up within a matter of hours from a state of “zero need” to more than 500 agents.
  • West at Home has consistently met or exceeded HSN's goals for total call volume handling and up-sell conversions.
