Watch the webinar video below.

The need for multilanguage support is growing and you don’t have to build it alone! Join ICMI and Voiance as we provide the blueprint to create your multilanguage contact center!

As the most diverse country in the world, the US has over 9% of its population that does not speak English well enough to conduct customer service transactions over the phone. And the challenge with supporting Limited English Proficient (LEP) consumers deepens. The emerging channels of mobile, social, and advanced self-service have also opened up our brands and our customer service to a whole new set of consumers in other countries and other languages that we may not have reached before.

So how does a primarily English-speaking contact center best support these customers?
How is the experience impacted when the agent and the customer aren’t speaking the same language?
Would CSAT increase if all customers were able to receive support in their native language?

Join ICMI and Voiance as we answer those questions and more, and show you how to turn multilanguage support into a true competitive differentiator!

During this Webinar will learn: 

  1. The benefits of translation or interpreter service options
  2. The impact of the “anywhere, anytime, any language” customer service mentality
  3. Customer expectations and demands of multi-language support by US brands
  4. How to establish processes and metrics with an interpretation partner
