Customer Service Representative Awards

Also announced tonight were the winners of the inaugural Customer Service Representative (CSR) competition, which recognized those who are the voice of the window film industry.

Contestants in the preliminary rounds were divided into regional competitions across the United States and competed from their offices. Competitors participated in a mystery shopper experience and received a call during the month of July. Companies and their competitors were not notified of the date or time of the call ahead of time. A team of judges graded the call.
