Outsourcing a contact center to Turkey is highly cost-effective. The biggest expense is the salaries paid to employees, which are comparably low since the cost of living in Turkey is less than half of what it is in the United States.
This difference means that companies can spend considerably less on wages while still paying employees a living wage. Businesses outsourcing call centers to Turkey will stay within their operating budget while getting high-quality employees in return.
The majority of inbound and outbound Turkish call centers are in the capital city of Istanbul, with Ankara and Izmir also home to several operations. About one-third of Turkish call center jobs are in Antalya and other cities throughout the country.
Though these three major cities host most of the call centers, their reach is expanding to other regions. There is at least one call center in each of Turkey’s 67 provinces. This gives businesses more real estate to work with, as well as a broader pool of potential employees from which to hire.
An entry-level salary for a full-time call center operator or customer service representative in Turkey will earn an average of 5,370 ₺ (TRY) a month, which translates to about $484 USD.
For companies based in the United States, this is extremely affordable, amounting to less than $6,000 annually. It’s estimated that the salary of call center operators will grow by 38% over the next five years, but even with that increase, US companies are guaranteed to pay considerably less in labor costs than managing in-house.
Outsourcing call center services to Turkey has great benefits for businesses. Turkish citizens speak English professionally, but are often multilingual and also speak Turkish and Arabic. Their language skills, along with the country’s prime geographic location, make it a hotspot for call center businesses.
The cost of living in Turkey is low, so American companies will spend less than half of what they would in their own country for the same service. Companies can pay a living wage to Turkish employees while meeting their budgets. Real estate and other business-related expenses are also more affordable in Turkey.
