OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with PartnerHero?

We had a deal that we couldn’t do in-house because it had special language requirements and over 1 million applicants to support. We needed to extend our support capabilities to add languages, extend hours of operation, and scale our customer service.

PartnerHero provides BPO services. They offer their employees and the spaces they’re working in. The team works remotely, operating out of our Salesforce system and using our phone system as well. We’ve provided them with credentials for their agents and training materials. PartnerHero has handled all the hiring and training processes.

Additionally, they’ve translated our documentation, frequently asked questions, pages, and so on.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 3–4 people from the customer success team.

How did you come to work with PartnerHero?

We looked for outsourcing companies that could fit the bill and found PartnerHero on Google. We met with Sam (Senior Account Executive), and it felt right. Many service providers had similar capabilities, but PartnerHero’s values aligned with our ideals.

Also, we would work in the Central time zone for this deal. Since their hub was in Honduras, they were a perfect fit.

We’ve spent over $1 million.

We began our partnership in June 2022, and it’s still ongoing.

They’re on top of the project; the team is timely and well-organized. PartnerHero is very responsive, and we’re happy with their performance.

We have a standing weekly meeting to cover everything we need to do. Overall, we have constant communication through our integrated Slack channel, Service Cloud, and Grasshopper.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re able to quickly onboard resources. For example, we ended up going over 90 agents in just a matter of weeks. PartnerHero sourced, trained, and onboarded all those people into our program; it was absolutely amazing.

Also, their ability to source languages is outstanding. We’ve given them tons of different languages to translate, and they do it promptly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything now; we’ve been happy with PartnerHero. We’ve done several programs with them; they’re our partner for all our outsourcing needs.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I suggest integrating the Slack channel; it’s convenient for synchronous communication.
