Baldwin was chosen because of his exceptional training philosophy and C3's innovative "Boot Camp Training Methodology," which turns training into a fast-paced, interactive, and highly retentive experience all while maintaining a fun learning environment ---all with no PowerPoint presentations.

Baldwin is a U.S. Navy Veteran who trained at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in New York. Shortly after he completed his own training, he was named an instructor where he trained hundreds of officers and enlisted personnel over the course of two years. Baldwin started in the call center industry in 1997 and used many of his skills learned in the Navy to excel at leadership roles and coaching others.

"I am extremely honored to represent C3/CustomerContactChannels at the QATC conference, and I am humbled to be nominated for this award," said Baldwin. "C3 has given me the opportunity to excel as a customer service professional and work with some amazing people. Everyone I work with comes to work with their game face on and really has a passion for the business."

Baldwin has worked with a variety of clients such as Wal-Mart, several Police Departments, and colleges in the Hampton Roads area including Old Dominion University, and Thomas Nelson Community College facilitating workshops about diversity and inclusion.

"Michael has a strong commitment to excellence when working with people and helping them solve problems," said Miguel Ramos, President of C3 Performance Optimization. "We are thrilled to have Michael as part of our team, and we hope he continues to grow with us for years to come."

The five finalists for each award will be recognized at the 2012 QATC Annual Conference and will also receive a free 2012 Annual Conference pass.
