Why Multilingual Call Centers Should Go Beyond Language

Faith Ocampo Published on July 28, 2015 Last updated on October 18, 2021

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.

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.
