This award is an exclusive hybrid to the Award of Excellence that focuses on longer, more complex call taking. Agents are graded on their ability to follow your client's custom scripts without sounding robotic while delivering the impression of being knowledgeable and to complete the given scripted requirements to deliver a "WOW" experience to callers.

After a rigorous six months of testing, independent judges score call agents on their ability to deliver an enhanced caller experience focusing on agent courtesy, etiquette, and the use of proper call techniques, as well as response time and accuracy.  This program is a powerful tool to assist your company in fulfilling these cornerstones of the quality answering service and call center services.

Here is a listing of typical accounts that participate in this program.

• Surveys
• Web Applications
• Escalated Emergency Response
