Also can anyone suggest us, as a startup company what should be taken – outbound calls only / web based suport etc. What support or services you/your comapany can provide? Where & how we can get clients from? How much & how we need to pay you?
Please provide us the details as soon as possible.

Trisha
Its being a good decision to start a Call Center.But why you are interested in opening in Lucknow.I think you will not get enough English speaking professionals over there.If you take outsiders than the attrition rate will be higher.
Well one option I can Suggest you is to go Dubai and open a Call center.I am not joking…
Witing for your reply
Er. Lokesh Kumar10th December 2004 at 09:19 #16657Hi Trisha Singh.GuestHi,
I would suggest, that instead of moving toDubai or setting up the call center in India, the most viable & profitable location is Pakistan, as these days both countries are working out together in different areas of business sectors, this would be extremly beneficial for you in every respect.
If you have any more questions to ask, feel free to ask.

21st December 2004 at 22:24 #16658sudipGuestHi Trisha,
You have taken a wonderful decision in terms of Location selection of CC. With due respect to all neither lokesh nor ahmad are actually aware of HR scenario’s in India specially in Delhi.More than 30% of Call center Executives and middle management are fromCities like LKO and Allahbad and Benaras.You have an advantage in LKo of having less Payroll overhead than others in NCR or mumbai.
Infact today only i spoke to one person from LKo who has opened up his CC there Bharti_infosolutions in viram khand gomti nagar.You can very well contact him.I would suggest you open up a small setup of 10seats catering to Outbound voice.Run it successfully for half a year or so and then think abt expanding.Try to focus on not more than one vertical and always try getting your own clientbase and not from any outsourcers.If you have any problems try working with some extablished outsourcers who has never defaulted in payments(not many 😉 }.
I wish you all the luck.
By the way whts ur company’s name?sudip
