So, what are they looking for from the winner of this award?
“The first thing I want to highlight is quite how important customer service is in this industry,” says Hawar. “Even though it isn’t always prioritised, I believe it to be critical to the functioning of the company, and vital for the success of the business.”
Lorena agrees, and states that “the winning Customer Support Idol is the person who really believes good customer service can make a professional career and who sees customer services not just as a Cost Unit or Trouble-Shooting department, but as a Business Unit. I think this will be an excellent reward from anyone who enjoys working in customer services, and who understands their role and wants to take it to the next level.”

A customer services role is really about pushing the business forward to meet the customer’s needs today and tomorrow.
