TELUS Digital to Showcase AI-Powered Customer Experience Solutions at Customer Contact Week Las Vegas 2026
Key Takeaways
- According to a 2026 IDC InfoBrief sponsored by TELUS Digital, only 15% of enterprises currently outsource customer acquisition management and 17% outsource inbound B2B sales — even as CX partnerships already deliver revenue growth, cost savings, and measurable ROI — pointing to a significant untapped opportunity that TELUS Digital will address at CCW Las Vegas 2026 (June 22–25, Caesars Forum, Las Vegas).
- TELUS Digital and Custom Ink will present an unfiltered partnership post-mortem at CCW Las Vegas on June 25 revealing how the intersection of advanced AI capability and cultural alignment — including a Transactional Net Promoter Score (TNPS)-driven feedback loop that connected real-time customer sentiment directly to agent training — produced new-hire ramp times that exceeded expectations and an outsourcing footprint that expanded within 90 days.
- With more than 80,000 specialists across 35+ countries serving 600+ global brands, TELUS Digital combines enterprise-scale B2B sales outsourcing capabilities with its proprietary Fuel iX™ platform, including live demonstrations of Agent Trainer and Agent Assist at Booth 1108, to help enterprises move beyond cost optimization and into measurable, AI-powered revenue growth.
VANCOUVER, B.C. – June 12, 2026 – TELUS Digital, a global technology service provider in AI-powered customer experience (CX) and future-focused digital transformation, will exhibit and present at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Las Vegas 2026 taking place June 22–25 at Caesars Forum, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Known as the world’s largest customer contact event, visitors can connect with the TELUS Digital team at Booth 1108 where the company will have live demonstrations of its AI-powered CX solutions including Fuel iX™ Agent Trainer and Agent Assist. TELUS Digital will also lead a client case study session titled “High stakes, high velocity: Scaling sales excellence through partnership transparency (feat. Custom Ink)” on June 25 from 1:45 - 2:30 pm in Forum H.
As enterprises accelerate their shift toward outsourced front-office sales functions, a recent IDC InfoBrief sponsored by TELUS Digital: From Efficiency to Excellence: Driving Enterprise Value Through CX Partnerships, reveals a striking gap: while revenue growth ranks second among the results enterprises already report from CX partnerships, outbound B2B and B2C sales remain among the least outsourced functions. This points to a significant untapped opportunity for enterprises willing to rethink how they use their CX partners. TELUS Digital is bringing that conversation to CCW Las Vegas.
From Partnership Post-Mortem to Playbook: TELUS Digital Client Case Study
TELUS Digital will address the outsourced sales performance challenge head-on in a client case study session featuring Custom Ink, the leading online platform for custom apparel. The session, "High Stakes, High Velocity: Scaling Sales Excellence Through Partnership Transparency," is scheduled for Thursday, June 25 from 1:45–2:30 pm in Forum H.
In this session, TELUS Digital and Custom Ink will offer an unfiltered partnership post-mortem covering the real decisions, the pilot structure that de-risked the relationship, and the cultural signals that separated this engagement from every previous vendor experience Custom Ink had encountered.
When Custom Ink was searching for a new outsourcing partner, culture topped their requirements list, but technology and expertise were just as important. What followed was new-hire ramp times that exceeded expectations, and an outsourcing footprint that expanded within 90 days. Getting there required both working together: a people-first operating model grounded in the belief that technology should enhance people rather than replace them, and the technology to act on it. Central to that was a Transactional Net Promoter Score (TNPS)-driven feedback loop that connected real-time customer sentiment directly to how new agents were trained, so coaching kept pace with what customers needed.
Attendees will leave with three immediately applicable frameworks:
- A cultural fit evaluation model — how to assess culture, not just capability, when selecting an outsourcing partner
- The TNPS-driven feedback model — how connecting Transactional Net Promoter Score data directly to new hire training accelerates ramp time and sustains performance beyond the initial 90 days
- A replicable pilot structure — the exact approach TELUS Digital and Custom Ink used to de-risk the relationship and set the conditions for new-hire ramp times that exceeded expectations.
"Enterprises have a real opportunity to get more from their CX partners by expanding what they ask of them," said Abby Spahich, Global Vice President, Digital CX Solutions at TELUS Digital. "Our research with IDC shows that revenue growth is already the second most reported outcome of CX partnerships, yet sales and customer acquisition remain the least delegated functions. The enterprises that close that gap don't just improve performance, they build a measurable and scalable revenue engine."
