Alexandria, VA - May 14, 2009-Mary Naylor, the CEO and co-founder of VIPdesk (www.vipdesk.com), will present an educational session addressing virtual customer care at 10:45 a.m. on May 20, 2009 during the CS Week Conference being held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, Washington, D.C. This workshop titled "Telecommuting: Lessons Learned" will review why virtual call centers are an ideal customer care solution versus traditional brick-and-mortar contact centers, and how organizations no matter the industry can benefit from the use of virtual, or home-based, customer care agents.

During the hour-long presentation, Naylor will teach workshop attendees how utilities can save money with the virtual contact center model vs. a traditional brick-and-mortar infrastructure, why home-based customer care increases revenues and service levels, and how virtual customer care can provide a seamless customer experience during service disruptions such as pandemics, terrorism, and natural disasters.

"The utilities industry is one of many sectors that can benefit from the proven results produced by virtual customer care," said Naylor. "I look forward to meeting leaders in the industry during CS Week, and presenting attendees with actionable data addressing the benefits of a virtual customer care workforce."
