Answering Service Outsourcing

Your business may not be open 24 hours a day, but your customers’ problems don’t keep business hours. An outsourced live answering service means someone picks up, whenever they call.

The right BPO partner handles after-hours calls in the way your brand requires, so you stop losing leads to voicemail. Most clients find 30–50% of savings in their existing spend versus staffing overnight coverage in-house, sometimes over 60%.

Full Case Study

Outsource Consultants is an independent CX advisory firm that matches organizations to the right outsource contact centers and CX technology providers. We simplify your customer experience strategy and put the savings we find to work, funding better performance, AI-enabled CX, and the business outcomes you’re measured on.

Our independent, financially agnostic approach sets us apart. Every provider in our network operates under identical commercial terms, there’s no cost to you, and you pay under retail because we know true global BPO market pricing. Our bias is to the partners that perform. With 13 years vetting the mid-market BPO space, our team offers unparalleled expertise in CX and contact center operations.

From a network of 300+ vetted BPO partners and 500+ heavily vetted AI and CX technology solutions, each scored on 100+ performance data points, we build a shortlist matched to your industry, compliance requirements, agent profile, and growth plans, in hours rather than weeks.

Choosing Outsource Consultants as your CX advisor means more than cutting costs. The 30–50% we typically find in your existing spend is the lever, not the destination. It funds the AI investments and performance gains that shift your contact center from a cost line to a growth driver. And we don’t disappear after the match. Our Vendor Management Office stays in the relationship, tracking performance month over month and recommending shifts between labor and AI, because the mix that’s right today won’t be right in 18 months.
