In an interview, Sales Marketing Consultant at Contact Center Association of Zimbabwe, Timothy Mupotsa said the awards were a result of feedback from customers on their experiences on the function of organisations across the industries
“We currently have 20 sectors and another five special awards. These are awards we give to the most innovative organisations, most improved and service quality awards, then we have customer contact centre manager of the year and customer experience practitioner of the year for private and public service,” he said.
Mupotsa said apart from physical surveys where they asked customers to fill in questionnaires, they also relied on the Customer Service Index Report that is published by the Chartered Institute if Customer Management .
The methodology of the service sector awards is that they do actual physical surveys and give out questionnaires and the sample size is about 20 000 that we do for these awards. And from there we have got an online link that we post on our media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter page that you can now vote anywhere and nominate to say for this sector I think this organisation was outstanding. From there we pick the top six, depending on the size of the sector,” he explained.
He said an adjudication committee comprising of eight captains of industry will then analyse the results and come up with their decision based on their observation of the operations of the nominated companies.
“The adjudicators don’t necessarily come from the sectors , we get guys from the media, we get chartered accountants, guys from forensics, that actually look at these results to say people have voted, most of the votes have gone to X And Y. So the adjudication committee would then now decide the final three winners for each sector,” he said.
Winners of the awards will receive trophies and certificates of recognition.

“In Namibia we are in our second edition, in Zambia we are in our third edition and in Malawi we in our first edition, in Namibia we are in our second edition and in Swaziland we are in our second edition.
