Why People Quit: What 20 Years in Contact Centers Taught Me About Trust, Purpose & Disengagement Most leaders think disengagement is a people problem. Justin Robbin...

Attention BPO Executive Leaders.

Your clients are spending millions every year on CX technology. CCaaS. AI. Workforce management. Quality assurance. Analytics.

And they're asking your team for recommendations.

They trust you. They see you as an advisor. But when they buy, the vendor gets paid and you get nothing.

The video explains exactly how we fix that.

Watch it, then DM me if you want to talk about what it looks like for your organization.

At 12 years old, Justin Robbins figured out something most CX leaders take decades to learn.

Honor the preference. Every time. Even when it takes extra time.

One block. One neighbor who wanted their paper folded instead of rolled. Word spread. The whole block changed their preference.

That's the clip. Full episode drops this Thursday.

He started with a paper route at 12. Then outbound calls. Hotels. Nashville's music industry. Then Hershey.

Justin Robbins never planned a contact center career, he just kept showing up where serving people mattered.

In the full episode, he gets into why disengagement is spreading, what leaders are missing when it comes to trust, and why the contact center might actually be the best launchpad in any organization.

Most contact centers are built for average. Average volume. Average demand. Average days.

GigCX is built for reality.

Our CEO Fred Stacey sat down with Jon Brown, SVP of Client Results at Liveops, to break down what on-demand CX staffing actually looks like when it's working - not the concept, the real thing running inside Fortune 100 and 500 brands today.

A few things that hit different in this conversation:
→ Traditional BPOs staff around a watermark. GigCX matches 30-minute demand windows, no excess, no gaps.
→ One client hit 400–500% over forecast. The gig model tripled coverage in under 45 minutes.
→ The talent pool is no longer 20 miles from a building. It's national, global, and already trained.
→ AI isn't replacing agents, it's making the agents you have significantly better.

We've spent years helping enterprise contact centers find the right outsourcing model. GigCX is the one that keeps coming up when the real pain is attrition, unpredictable volume, and the cost of overstaffing to stay ready.

We didn't study contact centers. We ran them. And this model is the real deal.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. 🎙️

"BPOs still competing on cost-per-agent-hour are building on a foundation that's actively dissolving underneath them."
That's Siddharth Victor, SVP & Head of Support Services at Movate, 23 years in this industry, and he didn't hold back.

This episode covers:
→ Why your BPO contract is structurally working against you
→ How a global gaming company went from 6% to 86% autonomous resolution
→ What outcome-based accountability actually looks like when both parties have skin in the game
→ The one thing that kills most outsourcing engagements

If you lead a BPO, run a contact center, or buy outsourcing services — this one is worth your full attention.

That's the problem.

Clients are already demanding AI. They want outcomes, not headcount. And the BPOs still selling seats are running out of time to figure that out.

Darren Prine, host of The Contact Center Gurus Podcast, and Siddharth Victor, SVP & Head of Support Services at Movate, break down exactly what's at stake, and what the choice looks like.

Full episode drops tomorrow on The Contact Center Gurus Podcast.

→ What outcome-based contracts actually look like in practice

Every AI vendor is telling you to move faster.

Five governments just told you to slow down.

On May 1st, CISA and intelligence agencies from the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand issued the first coordinated global guidance on agentic AI.

Their finding: AI agents are already running inside organizations with more access than the teams deploying them can see, audit, or control.

Here is the number that should stop you cold.

88 percent of organizations have already experienced a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident. 82 percent of executives still believe their existing policies are sufficient.

Same organizations. Completely opposite realities.

That gap is where the damage happens.

Vendors won't tell you this. Their job is to close the deal.

CTG is a network of 120+ former contact center VPs and SVPs. We don't sell platforms. We help organizations assess what they actually need, whether they're operationally ready, and what governance has to exist before anything deploys at scale.

The pressure to move fast on AI is real. So is the cost of moving fast without a foundation.
How is your team currently thinking about AI governance before deployment?

If you're running a BPO right now, this is worth 70 seconds of your time.

AI isn't coming for the BPO industry. It's already here, and the companies that built their business on seat counts and headcount growth are feeling it.

We put together a research-backed report on what the transformation actually looks like; not theory, not hype. Real data on what's changing, what the winning providers are doing differently, and a six-step blueprint for making the move.
