I need to set up a tech support call center for one of my businesses and was wondering if anyone has an experience doing this.? It's going to need to be able to handle a relatively high volume of calls and will need to operate 24/7.

Live chat tech support just not cutting it.

There are third party services that can do this.

I've looked into some 3rd party services, our main investor is not receptive to 3rd party services. He's a bit old school and wants us to set everything up and staff it ourselves. Despite this not being optimal he's Mr. Moneybags so it's not up for a vote.

1. read about taskus, there is is lots of experiential interviews with the founders
2. find your target location to open call center
3. recruit a top talent to open this office (admin, operations). someone in PI who works in setting up/managing outsource centers and does this thing normally. this is common practice.
4. hire them, meet them, work with them to open office.
5. staff the place

Have you estimated the number of CSRs you'll need on the phones at all times to handle the call flow?

I've estimated around 55

That gives me 8 per shift + 1 shift manager

Running a 3 shift's

Also gives me an additional 27 part-time for high volume times and to relive other CSRs and managers for time off.
