Outsourcing Customer Insights Roles to the Philippines

Understanding customer behaviour is paramount to business success, and customer insights emerge as the key differentiator. These insights form the backbone of informed decision-making, guiding businesses through market trends, customer preferences, and competitive dynamics.

Case in point: Organisations that link customer satisfaction with growth, margin, and profitability are more likely to achieve customer experience success and are 29% more likely to secure increased budgets for customer experience initiatives.

However, the volume and complexity of data can be overwhelming for some, highlighting the need for a professional to translate this information into actionable insights. This is where the role of the customer insights manager becomes crucial.

In this blog, we’ll delve into the responsibilities and importance of a customer insights manager and its allied roles, and why offshoring these responsibilities to the Philippines through a staffing company like Outsourced can be a strategic advantage for your business.

What Is a ‘Customer Insights Manager’?

A customer insights manager is a key player within an organisation, tasked with converting large sets of customer data into actionable strategies. These strategies aim to boost business growth, increase customer satisfaction, and enhance overall business performance.

Multifaceted roles in customer insights

The customer insights field encompasses a range of vital roles, each with unique responsibilities but sharing the collective aim of utilising customer data for strategic insights. These are:

  • Research & Insights Analyst/Customer Insights Analyst: Like detectives of customer behaviour, these professionals gather, analyse, and interpret data to understand customer needs, preferences, and behaviours deeply. Their work conducting market research and analysing customer feedback provides essential insights for strategic decision-making.
  • Customer Data & Insights/Insights & Analytics Manager: Focusing on the quantitative elements of customer insights, these managers collect and analyse customer data to uncover patterns, trends, and opportunities. They use statistical tools and analytical models to turn raw data into actionable insights, guiding the company towards robust, data-driven strategies.
  • Insights Manager/Strategy & Insights Specialist: Operating at a strategic level, these experts use data-driven insights to shape and refine business strategies. They play a pivotal role in aligning the company’s product development, marketing, and customer experience initiatives with the evolving needs and preferences of the customer base.
  • Voice of Customer Analyst/Customer Analyst: Specialising in interpreting the ‘voice of the customer,’ these analysts evaluate feedback from various channels, including surveys and social media, to gauge customer satisfaction and identify opportunities for improvement.

Each role is integral to harnessing the power of customer insights to steer organisational strategies and achieve competitive advantages in the marketplace.

Bridging Expertise and Efficiency Through Offshore Outsourcing

While the roles within customer insights are crucial for business growth and strategic development, managing the costs and resources associated with these functions effectively poses a significant challenge. 

Offshore outsourcing serves as a strategic solution, offering cost savings and access to a global pool of specialised talent. Particularly, the Philippines stands out as a preferred destination for offshoring these roles due to its unique advantages.

Advantages of offshoring customer insights roles to the Philippines

Offshoring customer insights roles to the Philippines through a staffing company offers several compelling benefits for businesses seeking to enhance their insights capabilities:

  • Cost efficiency: The Philippines provides a cost-effective staffing solution, allowing companies to hire highly skilled customer insights professionals at a fraction of the cost they would incur in their home countries.
  • Cultural compatibility: Known for their high level of English proficiency and cultural alignment with Western businesses, Filipino professionals facilitate seamless communication. This ensures that the insights generated are not only relevant but also easily integrated into global business strategies.
  • Quality talent pool: The robust education system in the Philippines produces graduates equipped with strong analytical skills and specialised knowledge in data analysis, marketing, and business strategy. A staffing company does rigorous recruitment processes to guarantee that only the most qualified candidates are placed with client companies.
  • Focus on core business functions: Offshoring non-core roles like customer insights enable companies to reallocate resources and concentrate on their primary business functions. This strategic shift often results in heightened efficiency and enhanced competitiveness.
  • Scalability and flexibility: Teaming up with a staffing firm provides businesses the flexibility to scale their operations up or down based on current needs, without the logistical and financial challenges associated with hiring and layoffs.
