The Top 100 competition compares the performance of contact centers throughout North America by evaluating their key metrics against industry peers. Entries are all cross-checked, validated and approved by certified call center experts, and the resulting submissions are scored on the basis of both quality and cost efficiency.“Using a coordinated effort and extensive reporting we represent our clients with the highest quality service levels, leading to a great customer experience,” Mary Jones said.Since the Top 100 process is based entirely on statistical comparison to the world’s largest and most respected database of call center metrics, this competition can objectively identify centers who are achieving superior results both in financial and qualitative terms.The Top 100 program grouped submissions into three categories according to size.
