What is Near Shore Calling?
Near Shore cold calling is the practice of cold call SDRs making calls to prospects and businesses who are not in the current country they are calling from, but in a nearby country. This can be done for a variety of reasons, including reducing costs and providing better customer service. Near shore calling can also be used to reach customers or clients in countries that are not well served by traditional long distance providers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between onshore and nearshore?
Onshore outsourcing is the contracting of services to another country that shares a common land border with the company's home country. Nearshore outsourcing is the contracting of services to another country located within close proximity to the company's home country, often sharing a common time zone or culture. While nearshore outsourcing may be seen as a subset of onshore outsourcing, the two terms are often used interchangeably.
What is an example of offshore outsourcing?
The most common type of offshore outsourcing is the outsourcing of business processes to another country. This can involve the outsourcing of manufacturing, customer service, or even information technology (IT) functions. In many cases, businesses choose to outsource these processes to countries where labor costs are lower, such as India or China. Offshore outsourcing can also refer to the outsourcing of services within one's own country; for example, a company in the United States might outsource its call center operations to another city within the US.
