The race is on! Successful businesses understand that BPO contact centers are more relevant than ever before; in fact, they are a necessity. Companies looking to connect better and service their customers need to find a contact center that fits their needs, and that is why we have compiled here fifteen practical tips to find that contact center that can take your business to the next level.

1. Know Your Customer Base

You have to know whom you are speaking to, and that means doing a bit of research. Your target audience may be global, or it may be centered in a specific area, it may be of a particular age group, or seek only certain products you sell; you need to know all this.

2. Understand the Culture

Wherever your business is based, you need to have a good idea of that place’s customs and traditions; if they are your own, you should know them well. To prevent cultural gaps, you will want to base your contact center nearby – or across the border with your closest neighboring country, such as Mexico or Canada, if you’re in the United States.

3. The Right People

If you choose to base your center in a nearby country, you will find that the personnel found there have a strong cultural affinity to yours, which makes any working situation easier. Your customers will also notice that your representatives seem to understand their issues better.

4. A Manageable Place

Nearshore BPO contact centers are easier to manage due to a mutual cultural affinity and the lack of time zone differences. If there is an issue, you can be sure that someone can deal with it on time.

5. Protect Your Team

If you have a strong customer service team already at home, understand that outsourcing that works means making some changes on the home front. Protect your team and your interests by creating a smooth transition.

6. Invest in IT

You have to know that choosing the right BPO outsourcing center means investing or assuring yourself that the IT will be up to date. Countries near the United States, such as Mexico, have these capabilities as their technology level is similar in cities like Tijuana, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico City.

7. Reporting Tool

It would help if you always considered managing software to communicate with your employees. For instance, Asana has been a reliable option for many businesses worldwide because it allows managers to assign tasks to employees, which they can then track as they complete them.

8. Operating Costs

Taking a periodic look at the operating cost of your BPO call center is always a good idea. You will be shocked to know that nearshore contact centers cost about the same as offshore call centers, a 40-50% price reduction from a U.S. call center price.

9. Know the Dangers

While BPO call centers are as popular as ever, politics and AI are threatening their stability. Before launching a BPO call or contact center campaign, it is essential to look at how it will benefit your business and the right time to start.

10. Economic Outlook

Before choosing to outsource your BPO call center services, you want to take a look at the economic outlook of the country you are looking to base it in. The economic outlook will determine many of the factors discussed above.

11. Speak with People in Your Industry

It makes sense that you would want to speak with people in your industry; they know best, after all. See if it is possible to ask someone within your industry who works with a nearshore call center what their experience has been like.

12. Customer Database

Your customer database is precious, and you want to be sure that wherever you move to, your representatives can interact with it and use it to grow your business. Integrating customer support to your CRM (customer relationship management) is crucial.

13. Security and Privacy

The last thing you want is to have to worry about the security of your data being handled in another country. Ensure you take a close look at your workers’ security measures, your software, and beyond.

14. Know What You Will Be Charged

Be meticulous in studying what you will be charged by the company you choose and for which services. Your customer’s time on hold should not be one of those services; these are the type of things you need to be aware of.

15. Social Media Integration

Some countries have certain types of social media banned, which means that you want to protect that if you already have a presence on specific sites. Be sure to study the rules and regulations on the subject inside the country you are outsourcing to.
