Why Work with our US Call Centers?

Is outsourcing really worth it compared to hiring in-house? In fact, outsourcing offers a host of benefits that in-house teams can’t manage—and outsourcing to the US offers even more benefits compared to other outsourcing locations. The domestic call centers at Global Response offer world-class customer service along with advanced expertise, flexibility and scalability. Some of the biggest benefits of outsourcing domestically include:

Increased security and compliance.

For some industries—for example, Healthcare or Finance—outsourcing to a US call center makes meeting security and compliance regulations much easier. Industries with strict regulations and especially sensitive customer data benefit from keeping everything onshore and avoiding international regulations and security issues. In fact, for many, the increased security and high levels of compliance of onshore call centers is reason enough to keep things close to home.

High levels of quality and expertise.

No getting around it—onshoring is typically more expensive when it comes to labor compared to other outsourcing locations. But the truth is—you get what you pay for. Onshore outsourcing provides much higher quality and expertise compared with offshoring or nearshoring, allowing you to get better results and higher ROI on your investment. This is especially true when it comes to sales and the medical field.

Stronger cultural and linguistic connection.

A common outsourcing problem is lowered quality due to miscommunications, poor English fluency or other cultural misunderstandings. This often results in fewer great customer experiences and a sense among customers that they aren’t really valued or taken care of. Outsourcing to a US call center team eliminates these communication shortcomings and failures and ensures that your customers always receive great service.

Increased alignment and efficiency.

Working with a US call center team also makes communication easier for your internal teams as well. With similar time zones, accessible call center locations and increased cultural familiarity, you can move projects forward faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity and creating more cost-effective results for your business.

How To Choose The Right Domestic Call Center

Red Stroke | Graphic

As with any call center, onshore call centers and BPO partners should be carefully vetted before signing a contract. Unfortunately, many clients make the mistake of assuming that US-based call centers are all high-quality, but that’s not always the case. Be sure you look for a call center that provides:

Flexibility and scalability
Red Stroke | Graphic

Ideally, your call center should provide you with both flexibility for the short-term and scalability for the long-term. This allows your provider to continue meeting your needs, even as those needs change, as well as provide you with cost-effective solutions to adjust team sizes and capabilities as needed.

Technology and infrastructure
Red Stroke | Graphic

Although the US generally has excellent infrastructure, a great call center partner should also offer your team best-in-class technology and software that can keep your call center running smoothly.

Proven results

Most importantly, you want your call center to be able to demonstrate that they can get the results you need. Whether this comes in the form of client reviews, testimonials, case studies, a portfolio or some other form, clear and demonstrable evidence that your potential provider can achieve the results you need is critical.

Experience and expertise

Experience and expertise within customer service and CX is a must, but a great call center provider also should be able to demonstrate experience within your industry and market. Looking through a roster of current or past clients and checking out case studies can help you gauge the experience of your potential call center.

Communication

Lastly, great communication is a must for call centers. The vetting process can show you a lot about how the communication will be throughout your entire partnership—so if it’s rough from the beginning, it’s not likely to improve once you sign a contract. Look for a communication process that is clear, honest and feels effortless.

US call center FAQs

Red Stroke | Graphic

There’s no one “best place” in the US for outsourcing; it all depends on what you’re looking for. Many companies prefer to outsource to a domestic location near their headquarters, to increase accessibility and collaboration. Others prefer to outsource to an area with a cheaper cost-of-living, to reduce hiring and labor costs. At Global Response, we have US call centers located in Utah, Texas, Ohio, Montana and more.

Outsourcing within the US allows you to gain access to higher quality of services and levels of expertise, while still allowing scalability, flexibility and cost-effective labor. Not only is domestic outsourcing more cost-effective and less resource-intensive than managing an in-house team, but keeping labor onshore also provides far fewer legal, linguistic, tax-related or compliance issues.

It’s true that offshore locations often have cheaper labor, but that labor quality may not be as good as what you’ll find in the US. As a result, companies who are looking for the highest quality customer service or BPO consulting typically will want to prioritize onshore locations. In addition, onshore call centers provide higher levels of accessibility, collaboration, control, compliance and security (in most cases), and communication.

While it’s often cheaper to outsource to an offshore location, like the Philippines or India, for high-quality services, domestic outsourcing is much more cost-effective than managing an in-house team. In-house teams cost more in terms of increased overhead, HR resources, management salaries, training, software and so on. With outsourcing, these overhead costs are greatly reduced, and you can also find more cost-effective ways to manage your outsourced team so you don’t have to pay for more labor than you need—no matter the season or your current call volume.
