MCLEAN, Va., November 10, 2017 (Newswire.com) – The International Customer Management Institute (ICMI), the authority on contact centers, has announced its speaker lineup for ICMI Contact Center Expo 2018 in Orlando, Florida. MetricNet is pleased to announce that Jeff Rumburg, managing partner of MetricNet, has been selected as a speaker. Jeff has been invited to present in two major tracks at the conference, including “Executive Perspectives” and “Maximize Productivity.” There were hundreds of speaker proposal submissions for ICMI’s Contact Center Expo 2018, making the selection process very difficult and highly competitive. For those interested in attending, ICMI Contact Center Expo 2018 will take place May 21-24, 2018, at the Walt Disney World® Resort near Orlando, Florida. To learn more about the event and to register, please visit: ICMI.com/CCExpo. Mr. Rumburg will be presenting “Maximizing the ROI of Customer Care” and “2018 Contact Center Benchmarking Results – See How You Stack Up!” In the Executive Perspectives track, he will define ROI as it applies to different types of contact centers, including service, sales and collections. And in the Maximize Productivity Track, Mr. Rumburg will summarize the results of MetricNet’s 2018 Global Contact Center Benchmarking Initiative, as well as provide performance data from more than 280 contact centers worldwide. Many contact centers are on the defensive when it comes to budgeting and spending, and often struggle just to get the funding needed to deliver adequate levels of service.
