What is outsourced customer service?

Outsourced customer service sees businesses partner with offshore providers that provide strategic and practical support with consumer-facing tasks. It is particularly beneficial for managing contact center-related tasks and a popular option for small to medium-sized businesses that want to boost customer satisfaction rates and increase staff retention.

At a time when customer experience is constantly evolving and more complex than ever, working with an offshore team or individual allows business owners and managers to meet the increased demands of their customers, better support their employees and boost growth.

Why does it pay to outsource customer service representatives?

No matter your industry, no matter your product or service, few factors impact a business’s bottom line like customer service. Studies have shown that an incredible 78% of customers will walk away from a brand on the back of just one negative customer experience. With consumer expectations on the rise and increasing pressure on budgets, it is little wonder so many businesses are looking for a new way of doing customer service.

Turning to overseas markets is not just about saving money - although there is a lot to like about labor cost savings of up to 70%. Offshore customer service and contact center representatives boast exceptional English-speaking skills and take immense pride in their commitment to their onshore partners. Customers are more satisfied, balance sheets look more impressive and internal teams can dedicate their precious time to other tasks.

Ultimately, outsourcing customer service is all about achieving cost-effective consumer care without sacrificing quality.
