The challenge

Fierce competition and shifting expectations, with a 500 to 600 FTE inbound care operation built for the status quo.

Two goals at once, at scale

Media and communications was moving fast, competition was fierce, and consumer expectations had shifted. The company needed to lift revenue generation and customer satisfaction at the same time, across an inbound customer care operation running 500 to 600 full-time equivalents.

A champion challenger, not one more player

The status quo would not get there. The mandate was to architect an all-encompassing inbound customer care program that resolved technical issues swiftly and built lasting loyalty, and to position the business as a “champion challenger” rather than one more player in a saturated market.

  • Technical issues resolved swiftly
  • Lasting loyalty
  • A “champion challenger” position in a saturated market

The approach

This was executive leadership work as much as operations work.

Leadership work, run with the operations work

Alongside the redesign of the care program itself, the engagement drove intelligent BPO operations across customer service and technical support, and a paradigm shift inside the organization toward genuine customer-centricity, not just reconfigured procedures.
