VIPdesk Founder and CEO Mary Naylor Named to TelCoa Advisory Board
Alexandria, VA, November 12, 2007 - VIPdesk, a pioneer of premium home-based
contact center solutions and concierge services, today announced that founder and
CEO Mary Naylor has been named to The Telework Coalition's (TelCoa) Advisory
Board. TelCoa is a non-profit organization that brings together a diverse array of
organizations, companies, and individuals with the common interest of promoting
awareness and adoption of existing and emerging telework and telecommuting
applications including virtual contact center services.
"We are honored to have Mary Naylor as a member of our Advisory Board," said
Chuck Wilsker, President and CEO of TelCoa. "She has such a strong belief in the
benefits available through the use of home-based workers, not only to VIPdesk but
also to the workers themselves and society in general, that I know she will have a
lot to add to TelCoa and its focus on supporting and enabling this growing trend."
VIPdesk operates a customer management outsourcing model called ‘Homeshoring'
that uses home-based agents to field various types of customer care inquiries.
Industry analyst firm IDC notes there are an estimated 139,000 home-based phone
representatives currently in the U.S., and predicts that number could exceed 300,000
by 2010. VIPdesk currently provides remote telework opportunities to more than 90%
of its workforce. The company's remote team is expected to grow 640% by the end of
2007 to handle a planned 1,120% increase in call volume.
"I fully support the mission of TelCoa as the leader of a company with an extensive
remote workforce," said Mary Naylor, CEO of VIPdesk. "It is imperative that groups
like TelCoa provide extensive information to the public on telecommuting to grow
this movement. I look forward to sharing my VIPdesk experience with TelCoa members,
as well as learning from their shared experiences and expertise."
TelCoa advisory board members provide guidance on a multitude of topics that will
contribute to members' increased knowledge of telecommuting including political,
environmental and business continuity issues connected with the subject. Other
recently added board members include Paul E. Heacock, President, Human
Dynamics, and Patricia Reed, Founding Partner, The Choose2Lead Women's
Foundation.
