It is essential that you have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in place before your service provider commences taking your calls. Not having one will allow your supplier to control how they handle your calls.

An SLA defines just what is involved in the work that they are doing for you and the parameters under which performers shall be measured. Remember, they are YOUR CUSTOMERS, not your suppliers and should be valued
