Introduction: U.S. Call Center Bill Raises Questions
A recent ABS-CBN News report revealed that U.S. lawmakers are pushing for a bill to bring call center jobs back to the United States a move that could reshape global outsourcing.
But for many automotive dealerships and service centers, BDC outsourcing (Business Development Center outsourcing) remains a crucial, strategic advantage. While some may worry about policy changes, the reality is that outsourcing to the Philippines continues to deliver stronger ROI, better customer engagement, and 24/7 lead management with compliance fully intact.
1. Understanding the U.S. Call Center Policy
The proposed legislation focuses on keeping traditional call center operations domestic, citing data protection and job creation. However, BDC outsourcing differs significantly from large-scale call centers:
- BDC teams handle qualified leads, CRM updates, and appointment scheduling not mass outbound calling.
- These are specialized functions, often classified under non-sensitive business operations.
- With proper data handling and compliance, BDC outsourcing remains fully permissible under U.S. law.
In short, the bill doesn’t eliminate outsourcing it simply encourages smarter, more transparent partnerships.
2. Why BDC Outsourcing Still Works for Dealerships
1. Major Cost Savings Without the Risk
Running an in-house BDC means high costs in recruitment, benefits, and technology. With BDC Outsourcing, dealerships gain access to trained BDC agents who deliver dealership-quality results at a fraction of the cost.
