Small call centers creates a special set of challenges for their managers. Several departments that support personal info, referring first contact with potential customers, sales meetings or contracting, telemarketing leads as a key link in contact with customers are like mushrooms after rain. Often people do not manage them with no experience in managing call centers.

The challenges posed by small call centers are very different from those which provide the major centers.

The smaller the number of employees, the harder it is to maintain an adequate level of service call. poorly planned break, "spontaneously" appearing in the action or the absence of additional work in one or two people - each of these factors will have a major impact on the level of service.

Managers of small call centers at a glance can embrace all the jobs and personally supervised by a person working on them.
