How it works

Select your solution

Choose Outsourcing or Technology, then complete our comprehensive wizard (typically 8–12 minutes). We ask the real-world questions suppliers need to price and scope accurately, so you don’t repeat yourself later.

Shallow forms create shallow proposals. We deliberately go deeper to save you time overall.

We review and shortlist

Experienced industry practitioners manually assess your brief and match you with a focused shortlist of trusted, pre-qualified suppliers based on capability, scale, sector experience, geography and budget.

Suppliers respond with proposals

We introduce you to senior contacts. Suppliers may ask clarifying questions, then send proposals for you to compare. You negotiate directly to choose the best fit. Free and no obligation.

Requests are assessed by practitioners who’ve run contact centres and CX programs. No spray-and-pray algorithm.

Time-saving intros

We connect you directly with senior contacts who already understand your brief, so you move faster with less noise.

Frequently asked questions

Typically 5–10 minutes. We ask the right level of detail so suppliers can price and scope accurately, which saves you repeating yourself later and leads to stronger, more relevant proposals.

It’s free for businesses. CX Connect is an independent ACXPA service — suppliers are not charged to be listed or considered, and only pay a small fee when a successful introduction is made.

CX Connect is independently run by ACXPA. Suppliers do not pay to be listed or recommended — selection is based on fit, capability, and experience. Because suppliers only pay when a suitable match is made, it’s in everyone’s interest to ensure high-quality, relevant introductions.

We keep it focused — usually 2–4 carefully matched suppliers that best fit your requirements, so you can compare like-for-like without being overwhelmed.

Our team reviews your brief, shortlists the best-fit suppliers, and makes introductions. Suppliers may ask clarifying questions and then provide proposals you can compare directly.

Typically within 24–48 hours on business days once your brief has been shared with the shortlist.

Yes. We introduce senior contacts so you can ask questions, refine scope, and negotiate terms directly.

Let us know and we’ll reassess your requirements. If needed, we can also connect you with ACXPA-aligned experts to help refine your approach before re-engaging suppliers.

No. Your brief is only shared with the small number of shortlisted suppliers we believe are a strong fit — not broadcast broadly.

Outsourcers and BPO providers value receiving well-defined, relevant opportunities rather than chasing low-quality leads. By working through CX Connect, they can focus on opportunities that are more likely to proceed — which ultimately benefits both sides.
