Page 2: 11th Annual Call Center Week

Dear Executive:

Last year was a tough year. Our theme for Call Center Week 2009 was actually “Turn Adversity into Advantage.” Now that wemade it to 2010, we can take a look back at some positive results. We: • Improved our process to gain efficiencies and become more productive• Enhanced the customer experience

• Boosted the morale and engagement of our reps

There is always light at the end of tunnel. In 2010, smart companies are now looking to grow the top line by enhancing thecustomer experience. ARE YOU?

How is it possible that US Auto Parts realized a 500% increase on NASDAQ in 2009 no less? How can Netflix leverage its 90%+advocate customer base to increase both share and cross selling? It’s all about the customer experience….There is a direct linkbetween a great customer experience and both the top-line and the bottom-line. A recent J.D. Powers five-year study revealed organizations which improved customer service increased shareholder value by 52%,while those organizations whose service declined lost 28% of their value. TARP Worldwide research indicates that 2/3 ofcustomers in most markets DO NOT buy primarily based on price; they buy on convenience, service and word of mouth.IQPC is pleased to present our 11th Annual Call Center Week - the fastest growing call center event in the world! This event isunique because a large number of practitioner speakers and senior-level call center professionals will provide real-world insight onwhat it takes to achieve world-class call center status. We have a COMPLETELY NEW SPEAKER FACULTY who will relate practical,measurable successes as well as lessons on what didn’t work! Attend Call Center Week and find out how to:

• Efficiently create a customer experience that produces growth, engaged employees and positive word of mouth• Drive performance improvement and leverage tools/technology for enhancing both the agent and the customer satisfaction level • Prepare your organization to become the focal point for the Voice of the Customer that proactively manages the customer

experience and earns a seat at the table with the CFO and CMOAt this year’s event, you’ll see a renewed focus on employee hiring, development and engagement and how it links to customersatisfaction. Companies will demonstrate best practices for creating a culture that inspires world-class excellence. We’ll hear storyafter story of companies that have been excelling and growing, even in the existing adverse market. Attend the 11th Annual Call Center Week and gain the insight and knowledge needed to enhance the customer experience andbusiness results in a social media world.

Get ready for a week of learning, networking and strategizing. I look forward to seeing you in Vegas!Sincerely,

Lisa SchulmanExecutive Producer and Sector LeaderCustomer Management IQ, a Division of IQPC
