Why Encore

Surge capacity that performs like a dedicated team, because it is built like one.

Encore supports overflow, AEP peaks, short campaigns, nights, weekends, and unexpected volume with plan-certified agents who carry the same scripting, quality review, and reporting discipline as a permanent program. Capacity flexes. The standard does not.

MEASURED ON
Conversion, effectuation, and persistency together
CADENCE
Weekly Performance View with a named owner per action
READINESS
Certified on your plan before the first call
COMMITMENT
Scope grows on performance, not on the contract
What's Included

Flexible where you need it. Rigid where it matters.

Capacity flexes. Talent selection, plan-specific certification, compliant process, quality review, and reporting do not.

  • AEP and peak-period demand. Licensed, certified capacity that comes online for the window and scales back when it closes.
  • Overflow. Calls that would otherwise abandon are answered by agents trained on your plan, not routed to a generic queue.
  • Nights and weekends. Coverage outside your core hours without the cost and management of a second in-house shift.
  • Short campaigns. A benefit change, a service area expansion, a compliance notice: stood up, run, and measured inside the window.
  • Temporary staffing gaps. Cover attrition, leave, or a vendor transition with a team that carries the same standard as your own.
  • Assignments that grow. Many plans test Encore on overflow first. The same team can expand into a dedicated program on performance.
How It Runs

Stood up fast. Held to the standard.

Encore team at work
  1. Scope the window. Volume, hours, markets, call types, and the service level and quality bar the plan expects.
  2. Confirm readiness. Licensing, appointments, and system access for the plan, plus plan-specific certification on benefits, scripting, and brand behaviors.
  3. Open with a measured ramp. Controlled call volume with daily visibility on service level, quality, and conversion before scaling to full capacity.
  4. Hold the standard, expand on performance. Weekly Performance Intelligence review, and a path from surge to dedicated when the numbers earn it.
What We Measure

Measured together, never in isolation.

A strong number in one column cannot hide a problem in another. Every program reports these side by side, weekly, through the Performance View.

How Performance Intelligence works
  • Service level
  • Abandon rate
  • Conversion
  • Quality score
  • Effectuation
  • Persistency
  • Ramp-to-target time

Flexible delivery should not mean generic delivery.

Most surge vendors answer the phone. Encore answers it as the plan: trained on the plan's benefits, markets, systems, and brand behaviors, with the same scripting and quality review a dedicated team would carry.

Talent selection, plan-specific certification, compliant process, coaching, and reporting stay in place whether the engagement lasts six weeks or six months.

Ready before the volume arrives.

Licensing, appointments, and controls are already in place, so the ramp is about the plan's certification, not Encore's paperwork.
