Description

Customer experience (CX) is becoming the primary factor impacting customer loyalty and the key differentiator deciding a business’ fate. Demand for outsourced CX services is growing steadily in today’s consumer-centric marketplace as customers demand more personalized, relevant, proactive, and engaging experiences. A superior end-to-end CX journey builds loyalty and provides upselling opportunities.

The LATAM CXO services market was significantly hit by the pandemic in 2020. However, the negative impact was not as significant as in other economic sectors. Some positive trends were accelerated, bringing renewed business prospects. Social distancing regulations across the region did not allow consumers to visit shopping malls and physical stores, thus leaving the remote connection as the only way to engage with brands. This situation generated significant growth opportunities for many CX and BPO vendors and elevated the status of the CXSPs in the economy. Moreover, as people spent more time isolated in their homes, they yearned for human connection and reached out more often to brands to speak with human agents.
