In an increasingly diverse marketplace, language is a competitive advantage. Research from Common Sense Advisory found that 76% of consumers prefer to buy products with information in their own language, and 40% will never purchase from websites in other languages. For businesses, this data sends a clear message: if you want to reach diverse markets, you need to speak their language.
Multilingual customer service goes beyond translation — it is about creating an experience that makes every customer feel valued, understood, and respected. When customers can interact with your business in their preferred language, they are more likely to make a purchase, remain loyal, and recommend your brand to others.
The business case is compelling. Companies that invest in multilingual support see measurable improvements across key performance indicators: higher customer satisfaction (CSAT) scores, increased first-call resolution rates, reduced churn, and expanded market reach. In sectors like insurance, telecommunications, and financial services, where complex products require clear explanation, language-accessible support can be the deciding factor in customer retention.
Building an in-house multilingual team is expensive and operationally complex. Most organizations find that partnering with a professional language services provider is more cost-effective and scalable. A language services partner can provide trained bilingual agents for your contact center, on-demand interpretation for escalated calls, and translated materials for marketing and support documentation.

Our bilingual agents are trained in your brand voice, processes, and systems, delivering a seamless customer experience in English, Spanish, and dozens of other languages.
