OUR HISTORY

A journey of growth and innovation

development

AdviseCX was founded with a clear vision: to elevate the untapped potential within small to mid-sized BPOs. Recognizing that these agile organizations often possess a deeper understanding of client needs and have a greater capacity for tailored solutions, we saw an opportunity to empower them to compete in a market dominated by larger players. By providing strategic guidance and support, AdviseCX not only helps BPOs transform their unique strengths into a competitive advantage, but we also help brands find their perfect solution.

Foundation

In 2021, we experienced substantial growth as we solidified our position as a strategic partner to both small to mid-sized BPOs and businesses seeking optimal solutions. By establishing partnerships with numerous BPOs, we exceeded our initial targets, demonstrating the strong market demand for our services. This early success validated our business model and fueled our commitment to empowering BPOs and facilitating successful client partnerships.

Transformation

In 2022, we redefined the BPO partnership landscape by transitioning from a traditional brokering model to a strategic advisory model. Embracing a more holistic approach, we leveraged our commitment to Customer Experience (CX) to evolve into a trusted and strategic advisor and partner. By expanding our services to include CX Consulting and Talent Acquisition, we broadened our solution offerings, strengthened our client relationships, and established ourselves as genuine partners in their success.

Growth

In 2023, AdviseCX significantly expanded its capabilities and market reach. The appointment of Sean Erickson as CEO brought a wealth of strategic expertise and industry connections. Leveraging his background in large BPOs and consulting, we strengthened our ability to deliver exceptional value to clients. This strategic leadership, combined with our core competencies, positioned AdviseCX for accelerated growth and solidified our role as a leading CX solutions provider.

Innovation

We are positioned for exciting growth as we expand into the technology advisory space. This strategic move allows us to leverage our expertise more effectively and deepen our client relationships. By enhancing our capabilities and strengthening existing partnerships, we embarked on this promising journey and looked forward to the opportunities and achievements that lay ahead.

SCALING

As we celebrate five years, AdviseCX is focused on scaling our impact. This milestone marks a key moment in our journey, expanding our reach and continuing to deliver personalized CX solutions at a larger scale while staying true to our commitment to excellence and client success.

OUR VALUES

Driven by a shared vision of success

At AdviseCX, our values are the cornerstone of our company culture and guide everything we do. They reflect who we are, how we work, and the principles that drive us to deliver exceptional results. Our values are more than just words—they are the embodiment of our commitment.

Your success, our priority

At AdviseCX, being client-focused is a foundational principle that guides everything we do. To us, being client-focused means placing our clients at the heart of every decision, action, and interaction. This value reflects our commitment to truly understanding our clients' unique needs and delivering personalized solutions that drive their success.

We believe that the success of our clients directly translates to our own success. This commitment is demonstrated through our top five behaviors:

Active listening

We prioritize truly understanding our clients' needs, concerns, and feedback. By actively listening and asking clarifying questions, we ensure that we fully grasp their perspective, which helps us provide more effective solutions.

Personalization

Every client is unique, and we tailor our solutions and communications to meet their specific requirements. Whether it's customized reports or tailored updates, we ensure our clients feel valued and understood.

Proactive communication

Keeping clients informed is a priority. We provide regular status updates, schedule check-in calls, and communicate potential issues or upcoming milestones before our clients have to ask.

Empathy and understanding

We genuinely care about our clients' success. By understanding their challenges and celebrating their victories, we build deeper, more meaningful relationships.

Reliability and accountability

We consistently meet deadlines, deliver on promises, and take responsibility for our actions. If issues arise, we promptly inform our clients and provide clear plans to address them.

Excellence, every time

At AdviseCX, being results-oriented is a cornerstone of our culture and a driving force behind our success. For us, being results-oriented means taking full responsibility for our actions, decisions, and their outcomes. It’s about being accountable, proactive, and committed to quality in everything we do. This value reflects our dedication to delivering excellence, continuously improving, and contributing to the success of our clients and our company.

We chose "results-oriented" as a core value because we believe that taking ownership empowers us to make a real difference. When every team member feels accountable and invested in their work, we create a culture of trust, reliability, and excellence. Here’s how we live out our value of being results-oriented through our top behaviors:

Accountability

We take responsibility for our actions, decisions, and their outcomes. When challenges arise, we acknowledge our role, identify what went wrong, and implement measures to prevent future issues. This commitment to accountability ensures that we learn from our experiences and continuously improve.

Proactivity

We anticipate potential issues and take the initiative to address them before they become problems. By identifying potential bottlenecks and proactively working on solutions, we ensure smooth project execution and deliver outstanding results.

Commitment to quality

We strive for excellence in all our work and continuously seek ways to improve. By double-checking our work, seeking feedback, and refining processes, we ensure that our deliverables meet the highest standards of quality.

Follow-through

We complete projects as promised, seeing them through to the end. By taking ownership of client requests from start to finish and keeping all stakeholders informed throughout the process, we build trust and deliver on our commitments.

Learning from mistakes

We reflect on errors, understand their causes, and apply lessons learned to future projects. By analyzing what went wrong and discussing it with the team, we turn mistakes into opportunities for growth and improvement.

Discovering tomorrow, today

At AdviseCX, we believe that being curiosity-driven is the force behind innovation, growth, and excellence. For us, being curiosity-driven means fostering a culture where questions are encouraged, learning is continuous, and exploring new possibilities is a daily pursuit. This value embodies our commitment to staying ahead in the dynamic landscape of customer experience by constantly seeking to understand, improve, and innovate.

We chose "curiosity-driven" as a core value because we recognize that the world is continuously changing, and our ability to adapt and thrive aligns with our willingness to explore the unknown. Being curiosity-driven fuels our passion for discovering new insights, embracing challenges, and finding better ways to serve our clients. Here’s how we live out our value of being curiosity-driven through our top behaviors:

Continuous learning

Our team members actively seek new knowledge and experiences to enhance their personal and professional growth. This commitment to learning ensures that we stay current with industry trends and best practices, enabling us to provide cutting-edge solutions to our clients.

Asking questions

We believe that questioning the status quo is essential for innovation. By consistently asking "why" and exploring the reasoning behind processes and decisions, we uncover opportunities for improvement and creativity.

Exploring new ideas

We create an environment where innovative ideas are welcomed and explored. Through brainstorming sessions and open discussions, we encourage our team to think outside the box and experiment with new solutions.

Collaborative problem-solving

Curiosity thrives in collaboration. By bringing together diverse perspectives from cross-functional teams, we develop well-rounded solutions that address complex challenges and drive better outcomes for our clients.

Embracing change

We see change as an opportunity for growth. Our team is quick to adapt to new technologies and methodologies, and we encourage a mindset that welcomes change rather than resists it.

Innovate together, succeed together

At AdviseCX, we believe that collective expertise is the key to success. To us, collective expertise means working together seamlessly, leveraging our collective strengths, and building an environment where every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute. This value embodies our commitment to fostering a culture of open communication, mutual respect, and shared purpose.

We chose "collective expertise" as a core value because we understand that the best solutions and most innovative ideas emerge from teamwork. By working together, we can achieve more than we could individually, ensuring that our clients receive the most thorough and effective service possible. Here’s how we live out our value of collective expertise through our top behaviors:

Open communication

We believe in sharing information and updates transparently. By regularly updating the team on project progress and discussing challenges openly, we ensure that everyone is aligned and aware of their roles and responsibilities.

Active participation

Engagement is key to collaboration. Our team members fully participate in discussions, meetings, and collaborative efforts, contributing ideas and offering feedback to drive our collective success.

Respectful listening

Valuing others' perspectives is key to effective collaboration. We listen to each other with respect, allowing team members to finish their thoughts and acknowledging their viewpoints, even when they differ from our own.

Sharing knowledge and resources

We foster a culture of support by offering expertise, resources, and guidance to help each other achieve our goals. By sharing relevant documents, tools, and insights, we empower our team to work more effectively.

This value underscores our commitment to working hand-in-hand with our clients, partners, and stakeholders to drive excellence and deliver outstanding results.

We chose "value relationships" as a core value because we recognize that the best outcomes are achieved through strong, cooperative relationships. Our dedication to valuing relationships is reflected in the behaviors we instill:

Mutual trust

We build and maintain trust through honesty, integrity, and reliability. By consistently delivering on promises and commitments, being transparent about challenges, and keeping communication open and honest, we create a foundation of trust that strengthens our relationships.

Shared goals

We align our efforts and objectives with our partners to achieve common goals. Collaborating with clients to set clear, mutual goals for a project and working together to reach those targets ensures that everyone is moving in the same direction.

Effective communication

Clear, open, and frequent communication is essential for successful relationships. Regularly updating partners on progress, promptly addressing concerns, and ensuring that all stakeholders are kept in the loop help maintain alignment and foster a collaborative environment.

Respect and consideration

Valuing the opinions, expertise, and needs of our partners is crucial. We actively listen to partner feedback, show appreciation for their contributions, and consider their perspectives in decision-making, creating a respectful and inclusive atmosphere.
