Vodafone Egypt representative crowned as hero of Europe, Middle East and Africa
In one of the globally recognized competitions in customer service, Vodafone Egypt received the first award at the Alcatel-Lucent Customer Service Heroes Awards in Prague. The event comprised many international companies from Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). For his outstanding efforts and performance, Ahmed Shalaby, Customer Care Senior Representative, Vodafone Egypt, was awarded “absolute hero” given his outstanding service of Vodafone customers. The recognition was part of an annual Customer Service Heroes Awards in which hundreds of representatives from around the world compete and only those who go the extra mile to provide outstanding service to their customers are recognized.
Ahmed Shalaby, Customer Care Senior Representative of Vodafone Egypt, was especially recognized for the outstanding efforts he exerted at a time of political unrest during the Egyptian revolution. He went beyond the call of duty when he volunteered for work during such tough times. What makes Shalaby the ultimate hero is what he did once he was there. A distraught family contacted Vodafone to help them locate their mentally disabled daughter who became lost in the unrest. The only telephone number the girl knew to call had been disconnected. Shalaby worked tirelessly to cut through red tape and have the telephone number re-enabled. Moments after the line was opened, the girl called and was safely reunited with her family.
Shalaby was one of three finalists recognized at Alcatel-Lucent G-Force event in Prague. Finalists had been selected by a panel of customer service luminaries and invited to attend G-Force in recognition of their achievements.
Shalaby expressed his happiness to receive the award. “It is an honor to represent Egypt and Vodafone at such an international and prestigious forum. I believe that Customer care is at the heart of any successful service company because it depends on direct contact with customers. Therefore, customer care representatives should be keen to address problems in a serious, courteous and dedicated manner. It is important to consider any customer problem as a top priority and seek to resolve in the shortest time possible, Shalaby said.
