Business Consulting Review from Cyril verhille
I hired WESTSHORE BPO on our Business Consulting. WESTSHORE BPO will play music to your ears right from the start and promise you the world. They will also claim they have a full team in US along with a corporate office (that you'll initially meet in to go over your project) However, once you sign the contract and start developing, you'll soon realize that Vasudev Shastry is the only person in the company that is here in US, he also works from home while he farms all the work off shore to extremely unskilled so called workers. Vasudev is extremely good at making you feel like everything is going to plan, when in actual fact you are losing months and years of your life while flushing your money down the drain. I ended up legal with this company and had to take the code to an actual company here in US where I have spend an enormous amount of money to fix the horrible code. I was even told by the new company that the code is the absolute worst code they have ever seen. The list goes on but I'll leave it here for now. Please do yourself a favor and don't fall into Westshore Bpo sales tactics. I honestly from the bottom of my heart am warning you. I have also met 2 other people since leaving Vasudev that have had a very similar experience. In short, This company will take your money with a smile and produce you nothing short of a nightmare and all your dreams crushed.

What you pay depends on the contract structure. There are four main models:
An hourly rate involves paying for an agent’s time regardless of how many interactions they handle. It runs:
$8 to $15 offshore
$20 to $30 nearshore
$40 to $60+ onshore
Per-agent (FTE) is a flat monthly fee of $1,200 to $4,000 per dedicated agent. Predictable, but you pay the same regardless of the volume.
Per-interaction charges $1–$5 per resolved ticket or $0.50–$2 per chat. Cost-efficient when volume is low or seasonal, but bills spike during busy periods.
Outcome-based ties fees to KPIs like CSAT scores or first-call resolution — typically $3 to $9 per successful resolution.
How do I compare two BPO providers quoting similar prices?
When two BPO firms quote similar prices, the decision should come down to industry experience, agent attrition rates, SLA terms with defined remedies, and how each vendor handles your specific exception cases, not the headline rate.
Ask for case studies from clients in your industry. A BPO company with relevant experience can start right away, while one without it will learn on your dime.
Then go beyond the deck. Give both vendors your two or three most complex support scenarios and ask them to walk you through exactly how they’d handle each one. The vendor with a documented protocol beats the one that says, “We’d escalate.”
Pay close attention to SLA clauses, specifically what happens when they’re missed, not just what the targets are. Two vendors can quote identical SLAs but differ completely on the consequences for missing them.
Finally, ask for the agent attrition rate for the specific team being proposed, not the company average. High turnover on your account means constant retraining and inconsistent service, regardless of the price.
What contract terms do most buyers accept that they shouldn’t?
The contract terms most buyers accept are auto-renewal clauses with short notice windows, SLAs with no financial remedy for misses, and IP clauses that leave process documentation owned by the vendor — all of which remove your leverage once performance drops.
Four terms worth pushing back on before you sign:
Auto-renewal clauses can trap you into a long-term agreement if the notice window is short, often 60–90 days. Miss the window, and you’re locked in for another year regardless of performance.
SLAs without consequences. Most contracts define targets but don’t specify what happens when they’re missed. Your agreement should define redressal terms, whether that’s service credits, payment for damages, or the right to exit early.
IP and process documentation ownership. Avoid clauses that grant the BPO provider exclusive rights to your intellectual property, or that allow them to sublicense or transfer it to third parties. If they own the runbooks built on your processes, switching vendors gets expensive.
Exit and termination terms need to include your ability to re-employ key personnel who hold critical knowledge of your account; otherwise, that knowledge walks out with the vendor.
The simplest check: read the contract assuming performance will eventually disappoint. If you have no leverage when that happens, negotiate before you sign.
How do BPO companies handle a sudden surge in volume?
BPO companies handle volume surges through a combination of flexible staffing, automation, and cross-trained overflow teams, but how well they execute depends entirely on what your contract says about surge capacity before it happens.
Most BPO providers have a few ways to handle sudden spikes:
Bringing in temporary agents
Moving staff from quieter channels to busier ones
Using chatbots or self-service tools to handle routine questions before they reach a human. Self-service tools can deflect 20-40% of contacts during a surge.
But not every BPO provider handles this well. When surges go unmanaged, call abandonment rates can reach 15%, which means frustrated customers and damage to your brand, not the vendor’s.
The right time to ask about this is before you sign. Find out how much notice your BPO company needs to scale up, and what the contract says about volume above your agreed tier.
A vendor who can staff up fast but delivers off-brand service during your busiest period is a liability, not a solution.
