Imagine if one day you receive your credit card bill comes and there is a charge you do not recognize. So, you grab the phone and dial the customer service call center. After pressing a couple dozen buttons and waiting on hold for more than 15 minutes you finally hear a human voice at the other end. Unfortunately you can not understand a word of what the other person is saying. You begin your explanation of why you have called and after you have finished you are assured that all charges on your bill are valid. You once again state that you know for a fact they are not. After another 10 minutes has been wasted you ask to speak to a supervisor or a higher up in charge. You are told that they will have to be informed about your problem and they will have to return your call. A day goes by. Finally you receive your long awaited call just to find that the supervisor can not understand you well enough to help you at all!
Does this sound frustrating? Well things like this are happening everyday all across the world. Thanks to wonderful advances in sales and marketing as well as immigration and international work laws businesses all over the world are building a clientele of foreign customers. This is wonderful news for the failing economy however it can mean that many people receive less than desirable service, especially from call centers. Very often, customers who are from countries that speak English find it very frustrating to deal with call service employees who come from countries where English is very rarely spoken. If it is, it is spoken in a way that cannot be understood by the rest of the English speaking world. On the other hand, customers who come from countries that do not speak English are looking for someone in call centers who will speak the same language as them.
