Introduction: Communication Pain Points for Cross-Border E-Commerce Going Global

Cross-border e-commerce enterprises face severe communication challenges in the process of global expansion. 72% of enterprises going global report that international communication barriers directly lead to customer churn and reduced orders. The main pain points include:

• Difficulties in communication due to time differences: The active hours of customers in Europe and the US correspond to late nights in China, and the customer service gap results in the loss of 35% of business opportunities.
• Low customer trust: For incoming calls showing international long-distance numbers, the customer answer rate is less than 40%.
• High communication costs: The cost of traditional international roaming calls is as high as $0.25-0.45 per minute, and the SMS delivery rate is only 65-75%.

These communication pain points not only affect sales conversion but also severely restrict the large-scale development of cross-border e-commerce. IntBell’s global communication solutions are designed to address these pain points and provide one-stop communication support for enterprises going global.
