In the crisis time outsourcing of different assets a company has (as the telecommunications infrastructure for instance) enables to improve the cash flows for a short period of time, see "sale and lease back" concept. However, before we outsource anything, we have to decide what is better to our business model: the in-house made solution or really outsourcing. There are also mixed solution, as shared service centers, available for groups consisting of two or more companies.

After reading everyones opinions I would like to share my thoughts:

First off it seems that many of you have had a bad experience with offshore call centers. The reason you might have had a bad experience with a call center as a consumer or business owner is simple, the company that hired the call center did not take the time to train there employees and or the call center did not give the option to the business owner to take complete control. For example I have a call center in the Philippines and all my clients are happy and so are the consumers who speak to our call center representatives. The reason is we give FULL control to the owner of the business plus our call center agents know that if they don't perform to the level that the business they are working for they will be fired immediately. You can't just throw money at things and expect it to just work, you need to work on just as if it was was an in-house operation and that just in the first couple months after that its easy sailing for the company who hired the call center and a pleasant experience for the consumers.

One of the main reasons or perhaps the foremost main reason why companies outsource telemarketing to outbound call centers is that outsourcing outbound telemarketing services, instead of managing an in-house telemarketing department, is more cost-efficient in the long-run.
Here are more reasons why a company must outsource:
If you intend to manage an in-house telemarketing department, you will need to hire new people. Recruitment can be costly. But if you outsource to companies providing outbound call center services, the problem of hiring and managing new personnel will not be yours but theirs. And you won't have to face the possibility of lacking staff.
Training costs money, but you can't cut back on training just because you want to cut costs, because training will ensure the best quality of work. If you outsource your telesales to outbound call centers, you can be sure that the telemarketers assigned to your company will have indeed received a highly specialized training. You can be sure that the telemarketers will provide highly-skilled outbound customer service.
It can be hard to keep track of the legalities of telemarketing, since they change from time to time. An outbound call center is sure to keep track of them, though, as that is the main focus of their industry, so outsourcing to them, you can be sure that they will have taken care of that aspect.
Managing an in-house telemarketing department would mean having to acquire telemarketing facilities and other paraphernalia, as well as housing more personnel, which means they might take up more of your office space, and might require you to expand. Outsourcing to outbound service providers will not give you this problem.
Outbound call centers are equipped with the latest technology to keep up with the times, so you can be sure that they are better equipped to satisfy your customers.
With outbound service providers, you don't need to worry about the improvement of telemarketing services as, since this is the main focus of their industry, you can be sure that they will always be updated when it comes to improving their services.
Outsourcing to outbound call centers will ensure that you will get regular reports on the progress of your telemarketing projects.
Outbound call centers can also give you feedback on how to improve your own services, as they interact directly with your prospective customers.
With the extensive experience of most outbound call centers and their agents, you can be sure that they will have anticipated the needs of your company's project so no need for any trial and error on your part.
Outbound service providers will make sure to tailor-fit their services specifically for your company's needs. They will provide excellent outbound customer service.
