ALEXANDRIA, Va. (PRWEB) June 12, 2018
VIPdesk Connect Inc., a leading U.S. based provider of outsourced customer care services for customer centric brands, has won two prestigious awards for "Best Contact Center Manager" Melissa Headrick and "Lifetime Achievement Award" for Todd Hixson at the ICMI Contact Center Expo, May 21-24th 2018, Orlando, FL. In addition, VIPdesk was runner-up in the category of "Best Outsourcing Provider"
Melissa Headrick has been with VIPdesk Connect for over 10 years and has demonstrated the utmost dedication and competence in her role as a contact center manager. Not only has she led some of VIPdesk Connect's most important client programs with great success producing record NPS scores, Service Levels and financial results, Melissa has also been successful in creating and motivating a very loyal group of team members. Her distinct leadership style has been a major contributor of VIPdesk Connect's unique company culture. “Reflecting back on the last 6 years, the work and what was written about me was more rewarding than the actual award. It’s still very surreal winning, and even being nominated! It’s been great for me too, personally because it has helped me to get to know more people in the industry and bring home some innovative ideas.” – Melissa Headrick, Operations Manager, VIPdesk Connect.
Todd Hixson has been in contact center operations and management for over 20 years, working for Travelocity, Intuit and Cabela's prior to joining VIPdesk Connect. He has seen the industry both with an outsource and insource perspective. Focusing on delighting customers and engaging employees, Todd has always pushed the limits with optimizing the performance of workforces by using creative scheduling and performance-based “right for me” approaches. “I’m very humbled to be part of this elite company. We live in a world where everyone is paid to do something, but that’s not what it’s about. I step back and look at it, and it puts me in the right place knowing that it’s not about me, it’s about everyone involved.” – Todd Hixon, Director of Workforce Management, VIPdesk Connect.
VIPdesk Connect was also one of the three nominees in the category of “Best Outsourcer”. The innovative company has frequently been awarded by organizations such as Stevie, CSEA and the Chamber of Commerce for its unique service model, uncompromised customer experience, focus and employee dedication. However, winning in two prestigious ICMI categories sets another milestone for VIPdesk Connect.
