A keen eyed blog reader of mine pointed out American outsourcers could do well by taking jobs from the UK by taking the country’s call center work. This article published months ago by the BBC shows just how bad customer satisfaction is in the UK.

 

In fact, just 4% of people have had a good experience when dealing with a call center, according to a recent survey by YouGov. Over half of those asked said their biggest gripe was having to contact call centers outside the UK and more than a third admitted to shouting and swearing at agents because they got so frustrated.

 

On the bright side, at least agents in the US will be able to understand the profanity being directed at them.
