The Client Service: Call Scoring as a Managed Offering
Sales consultancies and contact-centre specialists can establish a high-value, recurring revenue stream by offering call quality scoring as a managed service. Many businesses with sales or customer service teams lack the internal capacity or specific expertise to systematically review calls for performance and training purposes. As an agency, you can fill this gap, providing objective, data-driven insights that help clients improve team effectiveness, standardise performance, and identify coaching opportunities. This service positions your agency as a strategic partner invested in tangible client outcomes.
The end-client receives a regular, structured analysis of their team's telephone conversations. Instead of anecdotal feedback or inconsistent spot-checks, they get reports grounded in consistent criteria. These reports can highlight trends in call handling, script adherence, objection management, and customer sentiment. The deliverable is not just raw data, but a curated briefing that provides clear, actionable points for management and team leaders. This allows them to focus their coaching efforts where they will have the most impact, driving improvements in sales conversion or customer satisfaction.
How Call Qualitix Delivers the Service
The service is built around Call Qualitix, an AutoThink web application designed for this purpose. Your agency manages the process. You receive audio files of client calls and upload them into the Call Qualitix platform. The software then processes these calls to produce structured quality scores and analysis. This automates the most time-consuming part of the review process, which is the initial listening and scoring against a predefined framework. The platform's output provides the objective foundation upon which your agency builds its value-added service.
The core product flow is straightforward: you provide the client calls, Call Qualitix provides the quality scoring, and your agency develops the coaching insights. Your expertise is critical in interpreting the platform's output in the context of the client's commercial goals. You translate the scores and data points into specific, practical advice for sales managers and trainers. The product handles the heavy lifting of analysis, freeing your team to focus on the high-value strategic work of consulting, reporting, and guiding client improvement.
Setup vs Ongoing Management
A successful service requires a clear distinction between the initial setup project and the ongoing monthly management. The setup phase is a one-off project that includes deep discovery with your client to define what ‘good’ looks like. This means agreeing on the key performance indicators, the scoring criteria, and the specific call elements to be tracked. It also involves establishing the technical workflow for securely and regularly obtaining call recordings from the client’s systems. This foundational work ensures the subsequent analysis is relevant and aligned with their business objectives.
Ongoing management constitutes the monthly retainer service. This operational cycle involves receiving the latest batch of call recordings, processing them using Call Qualitix, and performing your analysis. Your team curates the key findings, identifies trends from previous months, and prepares a clear, concise report for the client. The service often includes a monthly or quarterly review call to discuss the insights, answer questions, and advise on next steps for their team. This continuous loop of analysis and feedback is what drives sustained performance improvement for the client and secures your agency's recurring revenue.
Illustrative Service Package: Managed Call Quality Review
Structuring your call quality scoring service is key to communicating its value. While every engagement is tailored, you might present a standard package as a starting point for discussion. This helps clients understand the scope and deliverables. A typical service could be priced on a model combining a one-time setup fee with a monthly retainer. The retainer might be tiered based on the volume of calls analysed or the depth of reporting required. This productised approach makes the service easier for you to sell and for the client to buy.
Below is an example of what a managed call quality service package could include. It is for illustrative purposes only. The precise scope, deliverables, service levels, and commercial model (including any setup fees and monthly retainers) would be defined in a formal proposal and agreed with each individual client. We can work with your agency to discuss how best to structure such packages for your target market.
Availability and Integration Routes
Call Qualitix is a live AutoThink product, available for agencies to build services around today. Access is provided through a dedicated web application, which your agency personnel would use to manage the client workflow. There is no complex local software installation required for your team to begin using the platform. Onboarding involves creating your agency workspace and familiarising your team with the process of uploading call files and interpreting the analytical outputs provided by the system.
Integration is currently focused on the manual upload of call recordings via the web application. This method provides a secure and straightforward starting point that works with any client phone system capable of exporting audio files. The platform is designed to be the engine for your managed service. We do not currently advertise API access or other direct system integrations for Call Qualitix; the value is in the analytical capabilities which your team then uses to create the final client deliverable. Branding and white-labelling possibilities are discussed on a product-by-product basis.
