There can be many reasons why customers lose their trust in a brand. Poor service, not being able to deliver on the initial promise, and failing to listen to customers are just some of the many factors that can lead to a crisis. Gaining customers trust is challenging, but winning back their favor after a disappointing experience is almost impossible.

Addressing an existing customer issue requires honesty and humility on your part. You need to utilize all available resources to be able to re-establish ties and get your customers to give you another chance. This is where outsourcing companies can help you.

Business process outsourcing (BPO) companies can play a big role in heightening customer engagement and re-building customer trust. Here are some tips you should incorporate in your customer service strategy to build brand loyalty.

1. Admit your mistakes.

When dealing with a dissatisfied customer, the first crucial step is to admit your shortcomings. Blaming the situation on all other factors except your company can make your customers even more frustrated. Owning the mistake will show customers that you can take responsibility and that you re willing to make it up to them.

 

2. Listen to your customers’ suggestions.

This advice is often taken for granted perhaps because it’s incredibly simple. But once you ask customers how you can remedy the situation, they’ll begin to trust you again. Taking action on the customer’s cue will give them a feeling of empowerment and belongingness. This way, they become part of your team rather than an adversary, which can translate to increased customer engagement.

 

3. Offer an incentive.

Offering a greater incentive than the one your customers originally intended to purchase is a great way to appease them. Imagine this as a form of compensation for the trouble experienced by the client. Although it may not work all the time, it s still a great way to placate disappointed customers.

 

4. Handle customers frustrations well.

When talking to an angry customer, try your best to stay calm and deal with the issue in a logical manner. Be empathetic, listen to the customer, and try to get to the bottom of the problem as quickly as possible. Don’t match the customer’s frustration with your own temper. Remember that working in the service sector means you have to look after people s needs first before your own.

 

5. Have a concrete plan of action.

Show customers that you intend to see the problem through using a detailed plan of action. Otherwise, your words will remain mere words. A concrete plan shows customers that you’re working on something to resolve the situation and hopefully turn their negative experience into a positive one.

It may seem like these tips are too complicated to conduct on your own. That’s why outsourcing companies can be of assistance to your brand especially in such critical times. Having a team dedicated to increasing customer engagement and regaining customer loyalty can benefit your business in many ways.

Open Access BPO conducted Plant It Forward, a two-part tree-planting initiative, held in Laguna and Davao in May and June 2025.

Volunteers from both activities planted 300 Philippine indigenous trees, which were selected to help maintain the biodiversity in the area.

“This program is more than just planting trees; it’s about cultivating a culture of social responsibility within our organization and demonstrating our commitment to the communities where we operate,” said Joy Sebastian, Global VP at Open Access BPO.

This is only the start. Open Access BPO vows to continue investing in such environmental projects, affirming its core value of creating positive impact.

We’ve made yet another bold move.

Just last month, TDCX Group launched Chemin to help the world’s most ambitious companies realize their AI goals — faster, safer, and smarter.

To accelerate our ambition, the Group has acquired SUPA, a cutting-edge data annotation platform known for its agile, gig-powered model and elite talent network.

SUPA will now be part of Chemin, as we make moves to deepen our ability to support everything from training foundational models to safeguarding mission-critical AI systems.

“The future of customer experience is AI-powered, and AI itself runs on increasingly complex, curated data. SUPA brings us the right capabilities and talent frameworks to fuel that future. By embedding SUPA into Chemin, we’re doubling down on our ability to support enterprise and frontier AI labs with world-class data operations,” says Laurent Junique, CEO and Founder, TDCX Group.

As the demand for precision, scalability, and human-in-the-loop intelligence grows, we look forward to delivering the kind of nuanced data interpretation and domain expertise today’s frontier AI requires.
