It can be highly frustrating for customers trying to converse in a language other than their native tongue.
Enabling them to communicate freely leads to higher customer satisfaction rates, higher retention rates and increased brand loyalty.
If you are in the sales business, your conversion rates can soar when you offer multilingual services, whether inbound or outbound.
Without the need to constantly repeat information, conversations are quicker, which is not only great for your customers but also great for your bottom line!
Offering multilingual services is possible in several ways, with many BPOs/Outsourcers engaging bilingual contact centre employees who can speak at least two languages.
Some languages contain multiple dialects, so it's not uncommon for your employees to be able to communicate in several different dialects.
Bilingual agents can be great when call volumes are relatively low. They can be highly efficient by handling different language calls as they come through and switching languages as required.
And from a contact centre workforce management perspective, when you have larger volumes of calls all in one language, it can be more efficient to have agents who speak that language.
As many of the BPO locations are in high-density cities in Australia and other countries such as the Philippines, New Zealand and South Africa, it's very common for large numbers of employees to speak multiple languages.
