ContactCenterWorld.com: Did you enjoy your week?
Nil: Yes, I did, very much. It was great to be with all friends all over Europe. As usual, Raj did a great job. Real good organization.

ContactCenterWorld.com: Why is it worth it to enter?
Nil: It is our second time. I was here in 2012 as well, and we were able to make Las Vegas. There are a few things underneath. First, it was great to have a Benchmark. You see what the other countries are doing, what the other industries are doing, in this area. Plus, of course, you can position yourself with what you are doing, so that is the added value.



ContactCenterWorld.com: Tell me about the process. You almost have to kind of narrow your perspective when you really enter a category and focus on it. Is it worthwhile?
Nil: Actually, this year we were only in the category of best outbound campaign because that is the thing that we worked on this year, so we wanted to see that and position that this year. In the previous years we were in the Best Contact Center in the world category. So now that we wanted to be in the other leagues, yes you have to focus, that is the main thing.

ContactCenterWorld.com: Do we do a good job of allowing you to do that?
Nil: Yes, definitely so, because when you have the category, it is very precise with definitions and people need to get ready with that and position what they are doing in terms of that. I think that you are really doing a great job, in terms of the industry. This is one of the best organizations that does this for the whole world, so you are playing an important role.

ContactCenterWorld.com: What would you tell somebody who has never been to these conferences?
Nil: I would definitely tell them, just get yourself prepared and be a part of it, because you will have a great experience. Not only just competing for an award, but also networking, meeting, getting along, and learning. Even at some point, friendships.
