How to choose the right Philippines call center

Red Stroke | Graphic

Of course, location isn’t the only thing to consider when it comes to outsourcing your call center—there’s a number of key factors to keep in mind. Here are five key areas to consider to make sure you choose a call center that works for you:

Experience

Obviously, your call center should have experience within customer service and CX, but your call center should also have experience with your audience and industry. Find out which of your potential call centers have experience with your industries and needs (and see above for some of the industries our Philippines call center specializes in!)

Proven results

A good call center should be able to provide proven results, as well as case studies, client testimonials and/or reviews that demonstrate their abilities and strategy.

Culture and communication

Don’t fall into the trap of only considering culture on an agent-customer basis—you should also consider workplace culture and communication norms that will dictate your working experience and partnership with your provider. Excellent communication practices and similar workplace cultures will go a long way toward creating a positive partnership.

Infrastructure

When outsourcing, it’s essential to understand how sophisticated your call center’s infrastructure and technology are. Obviously, the stronger the infrastructure, the better your call center will be able to support your operations and the more reliable your customer service will be.

Size and potential expansion

The size of your call center will dictate how much you are able to outsource, how much call volume the team can handle, how much they can grow as your business does, and so on. If you see significant business growth or expansion in your near future, you should ensure your outsourcing team can adequately grow alongside you.

In short: the Philippines offer affordable labor costs and a widely available and well-educated workforce which make outsourcing call centers to the Philippines affordable, easily scalable and effective.

The Philippines are one of the most common outsourcing locations. Not only can you find high-quality employees, but the Western influence means many call center agents in the Philippines speak English with little to no discernible accent. In addition, affordable labor costs mean businesses can save as much as 70% when outsourcing to the Philippines compared with other staffing solutions.

The Philippines are gradually gaining popularity over India due to the high quality of outsourcing and call center solutions in the Philippines. As customer experience becomes more and more important, outsourcing to high quality locations is becoming essential.

Some of the best call center outsourcing locations include the US, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Canada. However, every location has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the right locations for your business may vary.
