For eg if you are a policy holder from AIG and if you have any quiery then you will make a call to toll free number provided in the policy docket , your call will land up in inbound call centre. Oubound : Is outgoing calls , the call could go to existing customer for some information or to new customer for selling of some products.

Inbound is best. Inbound calls are calls coming from prospective customers who've already shown an interest in the product. Outbound are basically cold calls.

Inbound , answering incoming calls , you would be trained to know how to respond . For example It could be technical help , or info about productsor services. Outbound , making calls to prospective customers , For example : making appointments for sales reps , qualifying prospective customers for a product or service . Often with a script and info on rebuttals to negative responses to help you succeed.
