We recently had Roy Atkinson speak virtually at our web event. Over the years we've had Roy speak to many topics surrounding the Technology and Customer Service industry. His Diverse background, knowledge and experience always bring a personal, real world, thought provoking, and entertaining touch to all aspects of the topic being presented. Not only is he well received by the audience, he is easy to work with, personable and spends extra time listening and interacting with the attendees. His high energy and enthusiasm are amazing. I look forward to inviting him back to speak at future events.
