People, Processes, and Technology for Next-generation CATI Web Surveys and Call Center CRM Technology Market Research

The most sophisticated technology is only as good as the people who use it to produce results. Flatworld's systematic training of well-educated associates ensures the best returns on your investment when outsourcing CATI market research.

CATI Web Surveys and Call Center CRM Technology Training

The new recruits undergo two levels of training specific to CATI: one to enhance their understanding of marketing research at a general level; and one to focus on the details of the specific project at hand.

At Level I, they receive formal training in marketing research, gaining knowledge in general research and methodology. They are given an overview of survey research and taught different techniques for administering questions. They learn the role of a research associate and follow certain dos and don'ts for effectiveness in this role. They understand the importance of accuracy versus speed in data collection while building rapport with the interviewee.

At Level II, they receive project-specific training, which includes a thorough briefing on the context in which they will be working - the industry details, company profile and the business objectives of the client for whom the research is being done. They are also given training in administering the questions in the questionnaire, anticipating feedback, and answers. Continuous improvement is the goal.
