Billerica, MA, October 21, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Omega Management Group, Inc., experts in helping organizations increase revenue and profits by maximizing customer satisfaction and loyalty, announced today the View from Top (VFT) Research Panel 500 program. The new program -- open only to VP-level executives in customer-facing positions – is devoted to the continuous improvement of the customer service industry.

The VFT Research Panel 500 is now being formed as an online community. Charter membership is on an invitation-only basis, targeting VPs of customer service, support, sales/marketing and similar titles. The first 50 VPs accepted from each of 10 industry categories will comprise the VFT Research Panel 500 charter group, and enjoy lifetime membership benefits at no charge. A VFT Advisory Board is also being formed, which will function as a steering committee with direct input into research topics, survey questions, data collection, analysis and reporting.

The new program will use web-based survey techniques to allow panelists to respond to questions and provide opinions that reveal valuable information, knowledge, trends and best practices in customer satisfaction and loyalty. The data will analyzed and correlated to form the basis of confidential reports that will be shared only with VFT panelists on a quarterly basis.

“The VFT development and approach have been deeply influenced by service executives and service professionals within the customer service and support community at large,” said John Alexander Maraganis, president of Omega. “The objective is to provide panelists with a real-time opportunity to express their opinions on topics related service business, and stay up-to-date on current service business trends at the same time.”
