TELUS Digital to Showcase AI-Powered Customer Experience Solutions at Customer Contact Week Las Vegas 2026

Client case study with Custom Ink explores how cultural alignment and a transactional net promoter score-driven feedback model drive faster ramp times and expanded outsourcing partnerships

VANCOUVER, BC, June 16, 2026 /CNW/ - 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.

The Outsourced Sales Gap

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.

"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."

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.

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
• 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.

Live demonstrations: TELUS Digital's AI-Powered CX Solutions

At Booth 1108 at Caesars Forum, TELUS Digital experts will walk attendees through live demonstrations of its Fuel iX products, which are purpose-built to help enterprises manage, monitor, and maintain AI across the customer experience lifecycle. Demonstrations will include:

• Fuel iX Agent Trainer See how AI-powered agent training accelerates readiness and compresses ramp time without sacrificing quality. TELUS Digital will demonstrate Agent Trainer across three real-world verticals including gaming, travel and telecommunications.
• Fuel iX Agent Assist See how real-time AI assistance surfaces the right information, recommendations, and next-best-action guidance to agents during live customer interactions - reducing handle time, improving first contact resolution, and elevating the overall customer experience.

What will TELUS Digital's client case study session cover at CCW Las Vegas?
TELUS Digital's client case study session is a partnership post-mortem -- an unfiltered look at what actually drove performance in a 90-day outsourced sales engagement between Custom Ink and TELUS Digital. It covers the pilot structure that de-risked the relationship from day one, the TNPS-driven feedback loop that connected customer sentiment directly to new hire training, and the cultural alignment that produced new-hire ramp times that exceeded expectations. Attendees will leave with a cultural fit evaluation framework, the TNPS feedback model, and a replicable pilot structure they can apply immediately.

Who should attend TELUS Digital's client case study at CCW Las Vegas?
The session is designed for CX leaders, sales operations executives, and procurement decision-makers who are evaluating outsourced sales partnerships for the first time, looking to improve the performance of an existing outsourcing relationship, or seeking a framework for assessing what actually drives long-term partner value -- beyond the technology stack.

What is the TNPS feedback model and why does it matter for outsourced sales?
TNPS -- Transactional Net Promoter Score -- measures customer sentiment at the individual interaction level rather than as a periodic aggregate. In the Custom Ink engagement, TELUS Digital used TNPS data to create a direct feedback loop into new hire training, ensuring that agent development was continuously shaped by real customer signals rather than static curriculum. The result was a faster, more sustainable ramp that held up well beyond the initial 90-day window. TELUS Digital will walk through this model in detail during the June 25 session at CCW Las Vegas.

What makes TELUS Digital's approach to outsourced sales different?
TELUS Digital operates as both a strategic partner and a living laboratory. The company uses its parent company, TELUS, as a production environment to refine and validate CX and sales solutions before deploying them for global clients. This operator-first mindset, combined with its Humanity-in-the-Loop governance principles, means TELUS Digital brings real-world performance data -- not just a pitch deck -- to every client engagement.

The company's proprietary Fuel iX™ platform enables clients to manage, monitor, and maintain generative AI across the enterprise -- from standardized AI capabilities to custom application development.
