Virtual Assistant Review from Robbie Forsyth
Obi Services has been a fantastic extension of our workforce, since we began using them for support in 2022. They have shown themselves to be efficient workers, giving us great output for the hours spent - at excellent value for money. Their versatility is outstanding too, supporting us with admin (the jobs our staff find boring), IT and design work. Their communication systems are ideal too, so we are always in the loop. Would strongly recommend them for anyone looking into an all round VA service.

Digital Marketing Review from Dusty Jenkins
I can't speak highly enough of the OBI team. I have been using them over 2 years now for my marketing company and have used them through a variety of tasks. Landing Page Design, Canvas Design, Branding, Logo Creation, Youtube Thumbnails, Youtube Bumpers, Logo Animation, Video Editing, Photoshop Editing, and List Building to name a few. Every new task I've made with them has been a home run overall. As new staff comes into OBI workspace, there will be times where we need to provide additional feedback but overall, I'm very very pleased with how they follow SOPs and help create them along the way. I have never been more organized in my marketing business and will continue to shout the OBI name from every mountain top I encounter. Give them a shot! Their communication is top notch and they truly feel like family to me. I couldn't do business without them.

They are a total ripoff. They play a good game to make it seem like they are doing something for you but reality they are not. You just waste your money with them. They string you along and then try blaming your leads as the reason they are not getting appts. That is false! Other people used the same leads and got results. Stay clear of these people. They are in the Philippines not in Chicago.

Mushi Bhai's Review Sourced from Google
Avoid at all costs. They are great at selling you a dream during the work pitch, but the moment the contract is signed, they vanish. Getting a simple ticket resolved takes weeks to give salary To make matters worse, their billing is incredibly opaque—we were hit with several 'out-of-scope' charges for services that were supposed to be included. Save your money and find a partner who actually values communication. They have the worst management I have ever seen. I would give zero stars if possible include work is pathetic

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.
