Salesupply: Outsourcing Customer Service

Executive Summary

To outsource or not to outsource? This is the question for many businesses, especially when you’re growing and internationalizing. For Henning Heesen, co-founder of Salesupply, the answer is a clear yes to outsourcing your customer service. He talks to Erik Pfannmöller about how outsourced call centers deliver a great service experience by creating a personal and emotional connection with the customer – no matter the language.
