Real-time automated translation can improve your bottom line by enabling call center agents to reach, engage and support your non-English speaking customers in their native language. By making web-based support content, email and online chat sessions instantly available to global customers in the world’s top languages, call centers can increase revenue and customer loyalty while reducing support costs.

The complimentary Webinar will explore how call center agents can effectively communicate with non-English speaking customers in their native language and attendees will learn:

• How to turn English-only speaking agents into global communicators
• What makes customers and prospects twice as likely to buy
• How to extend user-contributed web content to global markets
• What factors increase first-contact resolution of support issues
• How customized translation can preserve product, brand and industry terminology.
• What integration and security issues should be considered
