Lead Generation
Marketing prepares leads for sales. Sales and marketing should collaborate closely to create a strategy that seamlessly transports the customer through the entire journey and purchase cycle – from initial awareness to closing the deal.
It is difficult to maximize growth and revenue without leads. Lead generation increases a company’s visibility, credibility, trust, and interest among specific groups predisposed to purchase your product or service (potential leads).
Lead generation captures and stimulates interest in a brand’s product or service to develop a sales pipeline. Lead generation enables businesses to nurture prospects until they are ready to buy.
Every business should create an intentional lead generation strategy to discover good leads. This is not one-size-fits-all. There are some generic strategies, but an individual approach is a must. One of the most important things is delivering a good customer relationship through regular customer care calls.

Investigating issues, determining root causes, and recommending solutions and/or paths ensure clients feel well taken care of and are a fundamental aspect of customer experience.
Technical support includes the maintenance, management, and repair of IT systems. Tech support also includes diagnosing software or hardware problems and resolving them over the phone or in person. Some of the typical technical support responsibilities include:
- Installation and configuration of computer hardware, operating systems, and applications for a business
- Maintenance of computer networks and systems
- Identifying and resolving hardware or software issues
- Quality Assurance and testing of new technologies
- Documenting all customer tech inquiries
- Call log analysis to identify any underlying issues or trends

Customer Acquisition
The process of identifying and targeting prospective buyers, guiding them through the sales funnel, and converting them into paying customers is known as customer acquisition.
Customer acquisition strategy refers to the measures taken by a company to reach out to new customers and persuade them to buy a product or service. Reaching out to new customers is known as acquisition, and convincing them to buy is known as conversion.
Customer acquisition is inextricably connected to business expansion. Indeed, it is critical for company development in the market to attract new clients and increase revenue. More clients equal more income, which equals more profit for the company.
You can calculate customer acquisition costs by using the CAC Formula. Customer Acquisition Cost = Sales and Marketing Cost / Number of New Customers Acquired. Read more about calculating important KPIs here.
Back Office Support
The back office consists of administration and support personnel who do not interact with customers but perform vital functions for the company. Even though back-office roles are not directly customer-facing, they are still closely related to improving and enhancing the customer experience.
In essence, the back office can be a part of BPO, much like the front office. A company can decide to either outsource front- or back-office operations.
Front office operations are frequently customer-facing and involve direct contact with customers or clients. Back-office procedures are more administrative or support-oriented and take place behind the scenes. The call center or sales department is the most common front-office example, while accounting or human resources are the most common back-office examples.
Front office employees are the ones who are seen or heard by customers first. The most common example is the call center. In addition, to call center agents, front office operations include in-store or branch sales and service representatives.
Front-office teams seek new clients and business opportunities. In contrast, the back-office teams focus on product or service development and other administrative operations.
Billing Support
In general, billing support assists with creating invoices for products and/or services. Billing support also helps create credit and debit memos, allows for the cancellation of previously posted billing documents, and aids in transferring billing document data to the accounting teams.
Digital Support
Customer service delivered via digital channels such as email, chat, mobile apps, or social media is known as digital support. Digital support enables customers to interact with businesses via smartphones, tablets, and computers.
