Call centre for SMEs

Enterprise-level customer support without enterprise-level overheads

Most small businesses cannot justify a full customer service team, so the phone ends up with whoever is free. A dedicated Starliks agent gives you a proper front desk for a fraction of the cost of building one.

  • A proper front desk
  • One monthly fee
  • Cover arranged
  • Scale when ready

The phone belongs to nobody, so it belongs to everybody

In a small business the calls get shared out. Sales answers when they can, accounts answers when sales cannot, and the owner answers when nobody else does. Every caller gets a different answer and nobody has time to call anyone back.

Hiring for it is not simple either. One customer service executive means recruitment, salary, EPF and ETF, training, a desk, a phone, supervision, and cover for leave and resignations. For most SMEs that is a heavy commitment for a role that is only busy part of the day.

Outsourcing turns the whole thing into one monthly service fee, with the cover and the supervision already arranged.

Who this is for

  • Retailers, distributors and wholesalers
  • Trade, construction and service businesses
  • Professional practices and consultancies
  • Manufacturers with a customer-facing line
  • Any business where the owner still answers the phone
  • Businesses whose front desk is one person deep

What your agent handles

A complete front desk, run to your rules.

  • Every incoming call answered as your company
  • Information given from guidelines you approve
  • Messages taken accurately and passed to the right person
  • Calls from suppliers and business partners handled
  • Urgent matters transferred to your named contact
  • Outgoing follow-up calls you assign
  • Appointment and site visit coordination
  • Business WhatsApp answered with approved templates
  • Customer feedback and recurring complaints logged
  • Every inquiry recorded, nothing lost on a sticky note
  • Quiet-hour work such as list cleaning, if you want it
  • Daily, weekly and monthly reporting
A single desk can cover the phone, WhatsApp and message-taking for most small businesses. You do not need three roles to get a professional front desk.

What changes for you

  • A consistent front desk instead of whoever is free
  • One monthly fee instead of salary, EPF, ETF and equipment
  • Cover already arranged for leave and absence
  • Senior staff no longer interrupted by routine calls
  • A written record of what customers are actually asking
  • Room to add reporting or back office to the same account

Frequently asked questions

We only get twenty calls a day. Is that enough to outsource?
Usually yes, and often it is the strongest case. Twenty calls is too few to justify a hire but more than enough to keep interrupting people who should be doing something else.
Can we start with part of the day?
Yes. Some clients start with mornings only, or with lunch cover and after-hours, and extend once they see the pattern in their call log.
How is this cheaper than hiring someone?
You pay one monthly service fee instead of salary plus EPF and ETF, recruitment, training, a desk, a phone line, supervision time and cover for leave. Use the estimator on our homepage with your own numbers and compare.
What if our calls are technical?
The agent works from an approved information sheet and escalates anything beyond it. For genuinely technical questions the right design is usually first-line handling with fast escalation, not pretending the agent is an engineer.
Can we add other work later?
Yes. Reporting, data entry, invoicing and other back-office processes can be added to the same account without a new onboarding.
