Will Your Customers Return Next Year?



Merry Christmas!


The parties are on, but is it really merry for your customers? If they left this season irritated, ignored, or disappointed, they might not come back next year. 


Good news is, you’ve still got time. One week of focused moves can turn hesitation into loyalty. 

Here’s a clear, simple plan showing how Outcess helps you do it.


Fix problems before customers call

Don’t wait for complaints. Use event-driven outreach (think: a smart engine that watches for failed payments, abandoned checkouts, or delivery delays) and send one polite, one-tap message to resolve it. A quick retry link after a failed payment or a proactive delivery update calms customers and often saves the sale.


Be there when it matters

During the holidays your queues spike. Let AI handle routine questions (order status, directions, delivery) so real people can focus on the tricky, emotional calls. 

When a human does step in, they’ll have full context — no repeating, no issues. 


Keep backstage invisible

Most customers never need to know about internal fixes and that’s the goal. A single ticket flow for internal support staff gets problems fixed fast, often before your customer notices. 


Quiet operations mean fewer bad reviews and more repeat customers.


Protect revenue without blocking real customers

Overzealous fraud checks lose real buyers. Smarter fraud filtering surfaces real threats and ignores noise. When a payment still fails, a gentle recovery message with an easy-pay link reclaims revenue without damaging relationships.


Make the last mile flawless

Prioritize high-value deliveries and give drivers clear, contextual tasks. Better first-attempt success lowers delivery costs, reduces returns, and keeps customers coming back.


Put simply: Outcess turns holiday chaos into repeatable moments of service that makes your customers truly merry this season.


Ready to make the most impression this season? Let Outcess help!

The High Cost of Bad Customer Service: How Outcess is Redefining Customer Engagement in Nigeria

Image
  The Silent Business Killer In Nigeria’s fast-paced business landscape, where competition is fierce and customer expectations are rising, one thing remains constant—great customer service is non-negotiable. Yet, countless businesses have seen their reputations tarnished, revenues dwindle, and customer bases shrink due to poor customer engagement. A dissatisfied customer today has more power than ever before; with a single viral tweet or scathing Google review, they can deter hundreds, if not thousands, of potential customers. When Bad Service Tanks a Business: Real Nigerian Cases Take the case of a once-popular airline , which faced repeated complaints about flight delays, poor communication, and lack of customer care. Passengers who were stranded for hours without updates took to social media to vent their frustration. The airline’s failure to acknowledge or address complaints escalated the backlash, and within months, trust had eroded. Bookings dropped, and today, the company is...

Cost Arbitration 101: How Outsourcing Your Contact Center Frees Up Capital

Image
What if your largest overhead could turn into your biggest growth driver? For most organizations, the contact center ranks among the top three cost centers—right up there with rent and payroll. Yet unlike rent or salaries, which deliver direct operational value, contact‑center expenses often remain fixed no matter how busy (or quiet) your lines are. This rigidity locks up capital that could otherwise fuel innovation, market expansion, or digital transformation. The Cost Trap of In‑House Contact Centers Building and running an on‑premises contact center means: Fixed staffing costs: Full‑time agent salaries and benefits, even in off‑peak months. Heavy CAPEX: Upfront investments in telecom trunks, servers, and on‑prem hardware. Rigid software licensing: Multi‑year CRM and telephony contracts that renew regardless of usage. Underutilized capacity: Empty seats during lulls, forcing you to subsidize idle resources. When demand spikes during seasonal promotions or product launches, you sc...
