WHY IOWA
With high tech jobs commonly being outsourced to offshore countries like India, Caleris is proud to be maintaining and creating new jobs right here in the United States. With all of our agents located in the Midwest - our clients, their end-users, and local economies all benefit.

  Benefits to Our Clients
   

Customer Satisfaction and Retention - Customers appreciate quality customer service from agents they perceive to be within your organization - after all, we answer the phone with your name. People can quickly determine if they are speaking with someone from an outsourced distant location. Avoid the negative word-of-mouth that often accompanies businesses that use foreign support providers.

Collaboration - Maintaining collaborative partnerships is much easier when there are no language or cultural barriers. One of the keys to our success is ongoing communication with our clients to ensure expectations are continually being met.

Travel - We encourage clients to visit our facilities to see how we're performing. Traveling to the Midwest is much less costly and time consuming than visiting outsourced operations overseas.

     
  Benefits to End-Users
   

Clear, Concise Support - Because of our Midwest location, our agents use a neutral dialect and have solid communication skills. This produces a much more pleasant experience for the end-user.

Rapport - Even though agents in overseas locations are trained on American culture, they can't possibly relate to customers the way we can. Positive interactions make all the difference in quality customer service.

Timely Problem Resolution - When communication is not an issue, time is not spent trying to decipher what is being said and problems can be resolved more quickly.

     
  Benefits to Local Economies
   

Job Creation - With unemployment levels relatively high and many jobs being sent overseas, Caleris recognizes the need and importance of creating jobs here in America.

Growth of Local Economies - Caleris typically creates jobs in rural areas allowing for growth in population and local spending. We work with community leaders and organizations to create a positive relationship with the places in which we are located.

Utilization of Skilled, Professional Workforce - The jobs that are being sent overseas are typically technical in nature, leaving skilled American workers without jobs. Caleris recognizes that this educated workforce is being neglected and creates opportunities for these highly motivated workers.

WHY CALERIS
Besides the advantages we've listed above, there are several important reasons that Caleris is the right choice for your outsourced customer support needs.
