This year’s European Confederation of Call Centre Organisations (ECCCO) Award, held in Warsaw on 7th December, resulted in Czech Republic’s BlueLink as the winner.
For the record, the idea behind organising an ECCCO Award is to make good customer experience examples known to a wider public by giving national award winners and nominees opportunity to take part in European competition. Nominations for the ECCCO Awards – the best local projects and managers – can be addressed to the ECCCO board exclusively by the national member associations.
Host of 2015 Award – Polish Marketing Association SMB – welcomed members of ECCCO from several countries and six teams for competition. Dell from Ireland – presented online – began competition. Right away audience heard live stories from Bosch (Germany), PZU (Poland), mentioned winner BlueLink (Czech Republic), Callus (Turkey) and Renaissance Credit (Russia). Teams showed impressive attitude towards customer satisfaction and employee’s fulfillment.
BlueLink International CZ shared with European audience their experience in using social media, particularly WhatsApp, to communicate with customers of Transavia. They had no example from other companies – for the first time this communication channel was used by the airlines. BlueLink team treated this not as a difficulty, but simply as a challenge. And such way of thinking and – with no doubt – doing lead them and their client to success. This bold, innovative and inspiring approach enchanted jury – ECCCO members – and made Czech Republic’s nominee the winner.
Held hospitably in headquarters of PZU, leader on Polish insurance market and Polish representative for ECCCO Award, and sponsored by Arteria – the biggest outsourcing call centre in Poland – was whole day event and platform to exchange experience on European level. This unique opportunity to share best practices in demanding call/contact centre business were probably the biggest values for both foreign participants and Polish audience, which consisted of experts, specialists and representatives of local companies. What was emphasised during event by jury: every team was already winner on national event. This meeting gave them opportunity to share their best and see what works well somewhere else.
