Martek was experiencing a surge in inbound calls from tenants and potential customers, and their method for answering and providing support was becoming too expensive to handle internally. Martek needed to reduce operating costs while creating efficiencies. Outsourcing was one option, but finding the right partner that could deliver on Martek's brand promise of quality and service excellence was paramount. 

Martek's Challenge: Improving efficiency and scalability

Martek's method for handling inbound calls involved two separate numbers and a voice-activated system distributing calls to a full-time receptionist during the day, and a designated on-call employee after hours. As a rapidly growing company, this method was inefficient and not scalable. Adding to Martek's concern was the fact that on-call employees can't always be available around the clock, and staffing a 24 hours a day team could impact the bottom line and customer service levels.

Martek needed a solution that delivered efficiencies and cost savings, with one centralized phone number and a live agent answering all calls any time of the day or night. Charlie Oliver, CEO of Martek knew it was time for a change.

Telelink's Solution: Tier-1 Support + Triage inbound calls with dispatch

We trust Telelink's answering process and have peace of mind knowing that calls, most of which are after hours, are handled promptly and professionally.

Once Martek made the decision to outsource, Telelink implemented a live 24/7 answering solution that delivered an affordable and efficient method for handling all inbound inquiries and issues.

Martek now had Tier-1 support that would triage inbound calls and dispatch them to on-call property managers or maintenance crews. By following procedures that were specific to each property, Telelink agents could determine which issues were most important, and act upon those first.

Martek's Success: A tenant-first approach

Telelink has helped us achieve our company's efficiency goals, and live our brand values by providing excellent service for our tenants at a consistent standard of quality, unmatched in the industry.

Martek's brand represents quality and service excellence. By successfully implementing Telelink's tenant answering solution, not only were they able to live that promise for their tenants, but Martek was also able to streamline call handling logistics, bring peace of mind to management, and reduce the need for costly internal resources.

Charlie and the Martek team feel proud of their choice in Telelink. Charlie later added "The decision has been a wise one for us. Our tenant response times have been impeccable. Pricing, service response times, quick access for problem-solving, and the ability to set-up special one-off projects had contributed not only to selecting Telelink but more importantly, staying with them."
