Yep been there with trying to understand India English accent... Now I try to avoid company that outsource call center to India, I mean calling tech support is painful in itself but having to listen to an accent that you can't understand is unacceptable...
Key to the Philippines' success has been its huge pool of English language-proficient workers. Now, US outsourcing clients are drawing a distinction between the Philippines and India, with a preference for Filipino workers' American accents and grasp of US culture.
Filipino BPO workers are often cited for their comparative ability to solve complex problems.
One industry executive estimated that it takes on average only one to two calls to solve a problem in the Philippines that in comparison would take six or seven in India. Indian BPO entrepreneur Deepak Patel recently noted that "Indians have not been able to handle irate customers" as well as Filipinos can.
The Institute for Development and Econometric Analysis Inc, a local think-tank, estimates that the fewer number of calls required to solve a BPO-related problem has contributed to the Philippines cost competitiveness vis-a-vis competitors in India.
