Bridging the Gap Between a Global Brand and U.S. Consumers
GALANZ, an international appliance manufacturer, needed a U.S.-based partner to support its growing retail presence across North America. Entering a highly competitive and service-driven market required more than basic support—it required a localized customer experience aligned with U.S. expectations.
TeleDirect built and deployed a comprehensive customer support model tailored to both the brand and the market.
