BEFORE APPLYING TO THE TRYOUTS THERE

ARE SOMETHINGS YOU NEED TO TAKE INTO


ACCOUNT:

SITEL’s language specialist is going to be testing a couple of things in your


interview, things such us your articulation which is very important to have a clear
and flawless communication with somebody, not only from the United States but
any person who speaks English.
Your grammar, it is very important that you keep in mind that you need to respect
the SVA at any given moment of your speech. SVA includes any association with
subjects, verbs and complements that you use. This might seem simple at first, but
as native Spanish speakers we tend to confuse tenses and verb conjugation.
Mistakes with the letter S, TH sound, M and N sound, CH and SH sound, final
sound with the letter N, M and more are very common in a person’s learning
process, however, these are the things that you as job-seeker need to attack the
most.
Opening your mouth is very important for clear articulation. So don’t forget it.

In a call center you have different type of calls

Inbound call: An inbound call center deals with a majority of


incoming calls. That means that customers or potential
customers are phoning you rather than the other way around.
In other words, the customers dial to the call center.
Because of this, most inbound call centers are customer
service focused. Customers will call into these types of call
centers when they need assistance with the product or service
they specialize in.
Outbound call: An outbound call is the exact opposite of an
inbound call center. Rather than having majorities of your calls
come in to your call center. In other words, the agents dial the
calls.
The definition means that most outbound call centers are
sales focused. When agents are making phone calls out of the
call center, they are focused on a list of customers or potential
customers that they would like to get in touch with. Most of the
time, this means they are targeting them for a sale.
Conference call: This is when you have a customer on the
line and either you connect your manager on the line or you
connect another person on the line. It might be the case that
your customer needs a bank confirmation or a 3rd party
confirmation and then instead of hanging up the call, you do a
three-way call or a conference call.
