Faster Connection Times, Higher Fulfillment Rates, Happier Customers

A telecommunications company switched to Lionbridge for telephone interpretation services. See how Lionbridge raised this customer’s fulfillment rate to 99.7% across over 10 million minutes of call time.

“[My Lionbridge interpreter] was outstanding. The client had to discuss some complicated topics, including lawful presence and navigating a website to purchase a medical plan by connecting with a broker. The interpreter did an excellent job clarifying the client’s questions and answers and ensuring we understood each other. He was patient, polite, and spoke very clearly. I know the client also thanked him for his help at the end of the call. He ameliorated what could have been a very confusing and frustrating situation and helped the customer move forward.”
