What are the advantages of outsourcing call center services to Bulgaria?

Bulgarian call centers are enjoying a massive boost currently and are contributing significantly to the country’s GDP. The increased popularity of this sector in Bulgaria is due to the large pool of talented multilingual customer service representatives, lower costs, and excellent infrastructure like high-speed internet connection.

Bulgarian contact center outsourcing services help businesses dramatically save on costs. According to Eurostat, the country had the lowest labor cost per hour in 2020 in the EU. The country’s government also offers favorable tax incentives to both foreign and local investments.

As a result of Bulgaria’s proximity to Western and Central Europe, the country has business attitudes and work ethics comparable to those of the western business world. Hence, there’s a reduction in the challenges that arise from cultural differences in the workplace.

How do I start a call center in Bulgaria?
