Let's start with the lowest reported hold times, as told to us by dozens of agencies familiar with CCRA and other vendors. Then add a unique staffing approach that employs only the most seasoned agents on a 4-days on, 4-days off schedule, so you've always got enough friendly, energetic and engaged agents ready to assist. Our agents are virtually located in 30 states and almost every major metropolitan area - so when weather is an issue, we aren't impacted.
With our state of the art technology and our innovative approach to staffing, we're ready to put our accumulated 47 years of expertise, as the oldest after-hours call center in the industry, to work for you.
Led by our VP of Operations, who has been with CCRA for 32 years, our Operations Managers, Lead Agents, Reservation Agents, VIP Agents, Ticketing Managers ,and Ticketing Agents do everything required to ensure your travelers are safe and happy.
We have the lowest hold times in the after-hours industry… period! Other vendors, with a smaller workforce and often no additional backups available on a busy weekend, may have your travelers on hold for extended lengths of time. Some have been known to offer discounted pricing for a while to counter dismal hold times. Others have bumped up hundreds, even thousands, of calls each month to the front of the answering queue for one or more of their largest accounts which puts your clients at a significant disadvantage. CCRA won’t put your clients at a disadvantage and has the technology and the manpower to service your travelers faster than anyone else in the after-hours industry … period!
Our Agent Training team ensures that all of our agents are fully versed on all of the relevant technology and systems, and most importantly, your agency’s procedures and your customers’ policies needed to service your clients. Our Training Team includes one training manager and three trainers.
Our Customer Care team is made up of Customer Care Managers whose sole focus is to ensure that your requests and needs are being handled efficiently and with the level of service your agency and clients expect. Issues are typically resolved in an average of under 6.5 hours.
The Account Management team ensures that you, and your agency’s staff, are well informed of CCRA’s performance, best practices in the after-hours industry, trends or compelling data and that you are taking advantage of every available service.
