The longevity of a non-profit is all about relationships. The more you can nurture relationships with your donors and volunteers, the more resources you’ll have at your fingertips to drive giving and fulfill your mission. But if you’re trying to build those relationships using an offshore team, you might find yourself facing an uphill battle.
A Local Team Shows You Care
Sure, off-shoring your customer support is a great way to keep costs down – but it’s also a signal that your main consideration is cost. When you go local, you’re showing your donors that you value relationships and loyalty. You’ve chosen a team that’s tasked with helping, building relationships, and putting your non-profit’s best foot forward. Non-profits are all about caring, so when that very first contact feels deeply local, you’re off to a strong start.
A Local Team Is Tapped In
It’s hard to put a dollar value on a team that can easily build rapport with your donors and volunteers. A US-based call center team is well-versed in local issues, understands the broader non-profit context, and can lend support bolstered by real-world experience and knowledge – not just a script. This goes a long way towards building relationships and achieving your giving goals.
Training and Feedback are a Breeze
When you’re working with local agents, you’re working with a team that has an awareness of work norms and best practices. This makes it easy to quickly train staff on the specifics of your brand and niche, leverage analytics, and provide feedback that can be easily implemented. Continuous improvement is easily achieved as a result.
Understanding of Privacy and Regulations
Whether you’re dealing with personal information, payment information, or regulations such as HIPAA, a deep understanding of local laws, rules, and regulations is a must for call center agents. When you’re working with an accredited local team, you can be confident that your call center is aligned with privacy and payment laws, keeping your non-profit’s reputation safe – and your donors’ data as well.
