Agree on most of argumentations. The reasons you mention is WHY most of
the customer requiring english call centers are going to bangladesh an
similiar countries.
But do not underestimate how hard will be to find spanish speakern
operators there. In addition to the problem of the language, you will
find also differences on time zones when going to other places. We are
not dealing with the same issues that we are when talking about english
call centers.
That´s why most spanish business go to Tunez or Rabat to create such
centers. Even telefonica did it, and reasons are, not only because salary
over there is lower. While a Spanish operator could have a salary of
15.000 euros a year, and while you can have 2,5 to 3 persons on Argentina
for the same price, on Marruecos (Tunez) you can have 5 (althought it is
also true than on Columbiar or Peru, 7). People prefers Marruecos because
a high percent of the poblation talks both Spanish & French, and they are
very close to Spain. And also because communications of Marruecos with
Spain are wonderful (you can not say the same, for example, for Peru)
I am sure that on Blangadesh there is a similiar issue with salarys, and
that there is not difficult to find english spoken people. Situation
should be very similiar, but the market of each localization (the focus of
each place) should be very different...language is the KEY there.

Re: [Asterisk-biz] . call centre in cuba
Well, my whole point was not entirely based on the assumption that
Bangladesh could be a better call center operation in terms of Spanish
language skilled operators. It would be hard to get operators fluent in
Spanish.
But if following meets your business needs and context, please feel free
to contact me.
Investment climate for foreign investment is very much favored by the
government with incentives such as tax holidays, money transfer,
licensing, etc. See details at http://www.boibd.org/invest_climate.htm
VOIP is legal for call centres
VSAT based high bandwidth IP communication is already available. Also, a
submarine cable based terrabyte level internet connection is already in
works and would become operational in few months which would essentially
make bandwidth cost more affordable.
Abandoned supply of tech savvy, loyal (not job hopping) and also generally
educated people who already has good proficiency in English and possess
business communication skills
Computers and related equipment can be imported without any tax or very
low tax.
If you are interested to explore the opportunities in a near term basis
with god connections with the end market and capabilities to invest or
already has clients for call centers and need service facilities and ready
to make joint venture investment, please contact me.
Thanks,
Capt. Farhad

As far as I understood, they need Spanish Speaken People. That is
difficult to get on Blangadesh. You need to choose a country where people
speaks spanish as a native language and therefore, do not get a rude
accent on the phone when answering calls,
Problem is that country has to had not only low prices on staff (you can
find a lot of latin american countries under those conditions), but also
good IP communications to do voIP (something not so common on latin
american countries). Believe me, there is better options than blangadesh
and even latin american sites. In fact, you should go were ever major
companies on spain are locating their call centers (including the own Call
Center of Telefonica!! ) :-)
To take the project seriously, my suggestions will be:
- Contact with a company that is authorized as a VOIP reseller at
spanish Government (CMT - Telecommunications Market Commission). Remenber,
they would have to get DIDs and forward them to the external country. You
need to have a CMT licence as a voIP provider authorized on Spain to do
that legally.
- Has a local precence on Spain, ideally near the offices of the
customer, and be able to do the project face-to-face with the customer
- Known the feautures of the Spanish Call Center. Ideally, it would
authorized provider of the Spanish Asociation of Experts on Contact
Centers (see http://www.aeeccc.com/ )
- Be able to provide to DID numbers on spain and known the difference and
feautures of premium numbers there (900, 901, 902, 905, 906)
- Be recognized on Spain as a company doing Asterisk busines, with a year
minumun experience on the market, references of customers, and dCAP
certified people on your staff
We fullfill all those requirements, and I really think that companies
doing Spanish Speaker Call Centers should do (or at leat, some point of
them).
I am aware that call center is a very productive business, but also think
that althought globalization is everywhere, and you could do it on any
country, you should be at the local market to known the real
possibilities. Otherwise, there is a huge risk to fail on the project.

Re: [Asterisk-biz] . call centre in cuba
Hi,
How about setting up call centre in Bangladesh. Labor is cheap and can be
trained in speaking English in American or UK accent. In fact there are
many un-employed university graduate with technical expertise who can work
for customer support or technical support functions.
We have links with a several established IT company in Bangladesh, one of
the largest dialup and borad band ISP, VOIP termination facilities etc. If
you are interested we can explore feasibility of setting up call center in
Bangladesh.
Thanks,

YOU ARE RIGHT.
It is crazy to do the call center on Cuba, since prices are too high for
communications over there. In fact, we did a similiar solution for a
customer requiring a Call Center in Spain (we are spain based), but we
based it on another country were communications are not so high and were
prices on staff are also low.
If you have a customer interested on such a call center on Cuba, may be we
can join together and offer him a better solution.
Let me known.
