Finalists in the 14th Annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, an international competition recognising excellence in disciplines that are crucial to business success, were announced on the 20 January. A diverse group of organisations and individuals around the world were among those recognised in the customer service awards, contact centre awards, business development awards, and sales awards categories.
