The Company
Michigan Message Center is the leader in the telephone answering and call center service industry. With 24 hour, 7 day-a-week, live operator services, we are able to serve clients and callers both locally and nationally. Having been in business over 40 years, we currently serve 1,600 customers and process approximately 2.5 million calls annually. We are large enough to offer a full range of services, but specialize in serving the small to midsize applications.

Our Mission Statement

"At Michigan Message Center it is our responsibility to give the best possible service to our clients for a fair price, our duty is to provide each employee with the best compensation and work environment possible, and our obligation is to remain fiscally strong, well-managed, and viable so that this mission can be continued for the mutual benefit of all".

The People
Michigan Message Center takes pride in hiring, training, and maintaining a staff of dedicated professionals. Each applicant is screened via the telephone to help isolate communication skills, articulation, clarity, pitch, intonation, and enthusiasm. Successful applicants are then given a personal interview that includes a thorough, internally developed skills test to determine reading, spelling, and typing abilities.

Those hired, begin a 4 to 6 week training program that includes classroom work and practical on-line training. Audio and video training aids are used to supplement one-on-one role-playing. Once an Agent goes on-line, he or she is monitored regularly and must adhere to a prescribed set of standards. This assures that quality is maintained and your company is represented professionally.

Our pay scale, attractive benefit program, and conducive work environment allows us to attract and maintain qualified Agents. Our retention of Agents is above average at 33 months, with several having 10 years or more of service. We care about our staff and they care about our clients.

The Technology
Michigan Message Center has coupled its highly trained Agents with state-of-the-art equipment and software. Agent stations are equipped with leading edge processors. We utilize color monitors to better see product pictures and catalog design. Our digital switching equipment allows us to provide automatic call distribution, so that we can process your calls in a cost effective manner. We have local and national toll free numbers utilizing T-1 technology to insure maximum call throughput.

Our software is flexible and allows development of your program to your specifications. We begin with a blank screen and build-in the parameters according to your needs. The software utilizes error checking, field enforcement, and pop-up windows, insuring that the data you receive is accurate and consistent.
