Helping brands connect emotionally to their customers

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a uniquely human trait.​ From it, emerges the ability to relate (empathy), a feeling of proximity, and the potential of truly meaningful personal connections. Which is why so many research studies show, that when it comes to customer service, people prefer to deal with people.

At TP, our customer experts are at the very center of service delivery. The essential front-line connection between your brand and your customers. We know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can’t replace that connection but, expertly combined with EI, can magnify it. And enable our customer experts to deliver personalized, and efficient solutions to your customers, every time and everywhere.​​

Every day, our customer experts use empathy to solve customers’ problems, transforming millions of lives globally with unparalleled experiences.

Technology can never replace humans when it comes to more complex or high-stakes issues where human understanding, empathy, and Emotional Intelligence (EI) are essential. Many factors will continue to drive organizations to use customer service experts, either in place of or in combination with AI-driven support solutions. These include:

Customer preference - the majority of consumers prefer to reach out to a live person for support rather than automated chatbots or self-service channels.

Complex issues - some industries have customer service issues that are simply too complex for an automated solution to provide the necessary support. In this case, consumers continue to escalate their inquiries until they reach a live customer expert.

Differentiated services - customer support is a key competitive/brand differentiator, essential for retaining existing customers and winning new ones.

TP combines high-tech, high-touch, and process excellence to deliver outstanding customer support.
