Nominations are open for the 2019 Customer Engagement Professional Award

Nominations for the 2019 CustomerCount® Customer Engagement Professional (CEP) Resort Trades Award have officially opened.

The coveted award, in its fourth year, recognizes outstanding leaders who exemplify customer engagement within the timeshare resort/hospitality industry.

Nominations will be open until December 31, 2019 and the winner will be announced in March of 2020.

CustomerCount and Resort Trades are looking for the most valuable customer engagement professional within the timeshare resort/hospitality industry.

Qualified people most likely will be those who are in daily contact with members and guests including:

  • Resort managers
  • Assistant managers
  • Front desk folks
  • Customer service team members

These outstanding team members exemplify the highest standards in customer engagement and service. Their interaction with members and guests shapes the entire guest experience; paving the way and opening the doors to happy smiles and memorable vacations.

Previous winners – and their ongoing success

Last year, the award went to Noyan Suel as Operations Manager of Grand Pacific Resorts’ Carlsbad Seapointe Resort. He has since been promoted to General Manager of Olympic Valley Resort.

The year prior, Jeff Brock, now Regional Director of Operations, received the CEP Award from a highly competitive field of nominees.

The nomination process includes completing an online nomination survey to measure the nominee’s qualifications and qualities. The survey is powered by CustomerCount’s software.

“The flexibility of our online feedback system can be utilized in numerous ways–including an efficient method in determining a winner for this award,” said Robert Kobek, president of CustomerCount. “We will combine the data entered numerically in specific categories of customer and/or member engagement including on-site rating improvements and social media mentions and reviews.

“Along with the quantitative data narrative descriptions with anecdotes and stories to support the nomination will also be taken into strong consideration,” added Bob.

According to Sharon Wilson, publisher of Resort Trades: “We’re again proud to team up with CustomerCount to celebrate the timeshare hospitality industry’s often overlooked and under-appreciated resort management professionals. These are the folks at the heart of our industry and we are thrilled to share their accomplishments as living examples of Best Practices.”

The winning customer engagement professional and their company/resort will be profiled in the March issue of Resort Trades. Two trophies will be presented; one for the company and one for the individual CEP.
