We’ve said it before and we’re not afraid to repeat it until the cows come home: using a boilerplate RFP in the process to find a new customer care outsourcer is a quick road to failure. You’re looking for a strategic partner who will interface with your customers day in and day out. That requires a custom RFP. And in the wake of the pandemic, that RFP also needs to be tailored to address the ways in which our world, industry, and business has shifted.

Business leaders are happy because customers were satisfied with their product or service. But that’s not good enough. Satisfied customers feel that their experience was good, not better, just average. Nobody raves about average. And satisfied customers will not return as soon as they find an experience that is better or a price that is less expensive.

But if you’re like most small and medium-sized businesses, ad budgets don’t grow on trees. And it means you have to get selective about how, when, and where you advertise your business.

What quality is missing from your interactions? Alternatively, what topics are avoided, instead of introduced and, yes, even debated? Even if you are reviewing spec sheets or project templates, everyone’s time is important.
