You won GOLD in the 2010 regional contest for Top Performers, what made you enter the competition in the first place?
It's all about "sharing best practices"...representing Malaysia and CELCOM Axiata in Gold Coast, Australia in APAC Region is indeed a great honor for myself, my family, my company and my country.
It's all about sharing your success and learning from other people in a contact center industry.

How did you and your colleagues celebrate your win and what recognition did you receive internally and externally for this fantastic achievement?
When we came home with the gold. CELCOM Axiata welcome us in with a "big bang", first time i have ever been in a newspaper all over Malaysia informing the wole country of the Team's success in bringing back home the gold!...

How did the win change things for you personally?
Well, i feel even more motivated and became more dedicated to my work as i am naturally, but what really made me change was how i truly appreciate how my company CELCOM Axiata has truly trusted and groomed me to represent the company and our country Malaysia it was indeed a great honor for me, and things like this are PRICELESS!!!...........

What impact did the win have on the morale of the center overall?
Big Impact!...i can say it is, 'coz even our CSR's are engaged! they even decorated the whole contact center floor with banners and stuff, i remember one of them saying "it's so nice and they feel so motivated to be working with one of the best in APAC region!"...

Looking back at your win at the regional awards, can you share some insights into how you felt when we announced you had won GOLD and what this amazing award meant to you personally?
Feeling?, well I'm so happy, honestly the first thing that popped into my mind was to thank HIM above!.
and personally i felt like i have upgraded! myself into a new level!...wow, really is priceless!..

What would you say to others who have thought about entering these awards but are hesitant because they don't know how they will do?
You've missed 1/2 of you life!....

What ideas, tips etc did you take away from the regional conference that you are, or will be, implementing?
