Why Multilingual Call Centers Should Go Beyond Language

In today’s competitive market, multilingual call centers open the avenue for better customer service.

By outsourcing to them, businesses can focus on their core competencies while cultivating good customer relations.

This added advantage is especially useful as the impacts of globalization continue to shape today’s business sphere. Moreover, many outsourcing companies aim to satisfy the changing needs of customers, placing brands at a competitive standpoint.

Indeed, all brands out there want to provide their market with the ultimate customer experience. This necessitates gamification, personalization, and a simultaneous presence across several customer touchpoints. By outsourcing to a bilingual call center, brands have overcome language differences, a common problem in the outsourcing industry.

But how can contact centers elevate their service to push their focus beyond just language?

What going beyond language means

Sure, multilingualism in call centers breaks down the language barriers between agents and customers. This enables brands to actively communicate with their communities and form a personal relationship with them.

Good customer service, however, doesn’t consist solely of speaking the customer’s language.

If brands want to exceed the expectations of their customers, they must create something that s entirely their own.

Going beyond language provides businesses a huge competitive advantage as they seek to distinguish themselves from other brands. A customer service strategy that focuses on something bigger than efficient communication will be the cornerstone of business success, especially in terms of customer loyalty. One way to do this is to be consistent in upholding the organization s values, as brand identity depends hugely on the principles being advocated by a brand.

Taking the next big step

How can outsourcing companies ultimately improve the customer experience?

For a bilingual call center, going beyond language means being able to bridge cultural gaps and respect differences. It also entails being the bigger person during agent-customer interaction and getting out of one’s way to please customers.

If you’re not able to convince people that you’re worth their time and money, it means that you fall short of their standards. What an organization needs the most at this point is to regroup and formulate a new customer service approach.

Although the formula may be generic (and a little cliche), it works. It’s a matter of careful planning, strategic management, and hiring the right people. On top of these, a well-defined focus is the most important factor that determines a business’ future.

In this age of rapid globalization, changing customer preferences, and tough market competition, the pressure is on multilingual call centers. They must continue to innovate and find new techniques to surprise customers and foster brand loyalty.

Drop It Like It's Hot: The OABPO Weight Loss Challenge began with an early morning wellness session hosted by the outsourcing company's Clinic Services with guest speaker, fitness coach JR Madriaga. Both the morning and evening sessions were streamed online for those who could not be physically present.

After discussing the rules of the challenge and weigh-in schedules, Coach JR talked about some of the most effective methods of losing weight. He highlighted the healthiest ways for the participants to get their weight loss journey started.

A high-energy Zumba session soon followed the discussion. It not only served as a fun way to start the challenge but also emphasized the importance of incorporating physical activity into daily routines.

More than 80 employees from both Open Access BPO Makati and Davao signed up for the three-month weight loss challenge. The grand prize, originally P25,000, has since been doubled to P50,000, with the winner to be announced in next year's Kick Off Party.
