Is outsourcing my call center offshore going to benefit my company?

I run a smb and I have heard about a lot of companies outsourcing their contact centers offshore. I'm thinking about setting up a high risk merchant account and looking for possible locations. What's the best way to find a call center offshore? and Can outsourcing my call center to other countries really reduce my overhead costs and total expenses?

Dear Wayne,

Please elaborate on your requirements and nature of processes, you wish to outsource. However, offshoring will certainly add value to your business domain by providing you a back-up for all times. Thus, there will be an opportunity for you to scale up your business in your preferred domain.

Please check for NZ in this regard.

Thanks,

George

Yes I will be ready share my insights. Let me know if you would like to set up a call to dicuss.
Answer to your question - is yes you by outsourcing your call center can reduce overheads and expenses. It will be an office without any rent, support staff are available but no charge, no electricity costs, no insurance costs and other maintenance costs.

The second level of savings will be on cost of people and cost of telephone line.

Best way to find a call center - well you can find it through linkedIn + references + NASSCOM website. Next its aways advantageous to choose a call center who has an office in US. This way the transactions, payments, coordination, meetings etc can be convenient.

Now let me come out of consultant mode and get into Business development mode :)

We are a call center with head office in Cincinnati and Call center in India. We work with companies and ensure a smooth transition while outsourcing and cost saving to the clients. I can provide references of the clients we are currently working with to give you an idea of the structured processes we follow to make outsourcing contact center to offishore a success. Let me know if you would like to speak more on this

yes,it will be of substantial benefit. you can derive benefits in terms of getting the brunt work outsourced and focusing/investing in your customer service. this would drive up your sales e.g.having a loyalty program in place and the vendor running it on your behalf.
there are multiple considerations to select a country and a vendor. depends on your timezone, language reqts, work timings, size of opern etc.

Dear Wayne,

Outsourcing call center services should bring the following value-additions to Organizations:

1. Focus on Organization's core-competency & top priorities to achieve their goals.

2. Call center operations being very objective and quality driven, experts handling it would result in not just the better service delivery but 360 degree feedback to your business and enhances your capabilities with first hand feedback from end-customers

3. Cost-effectiveness is a definitive result. Not just the operating costs but the liability of infra, technology & resources is nullified. This way you will have access to build to operate model for the time period you need the service for.

As far as skeptical-ness on offshoring is concerned, as we understand world well knitted today and surveillance operations floors like ours do enable our clients to see their "extended arm" (call center) and work with us very closely.

I hope this answers the question... also, I am excited to understand your requirements to explore a collaboration out of it.

Regards
Phani Kumar Karra
