Connecting to customers via both inbound and outbound channels, over voice,
chat, email, social media and other pathways, Sitel helps its clients’ customers with
technical issues, account updates, and sales and marketing engagements. “Any

to seasonality or other factors. Call volumes or customer interactions can spike up,
then drop back down, only to rise again.
