One World Direct Appoints Roy Semplenksi Vice President of Business
Development
Mobridge, S.D. – Sept. 9, 2009 -One World
Direct, a leading provider in integrated fulfillment, call center and
e-commerce services, has appointed e-commerce industry veteran Roy
Semplenski as vice president of business development. In his new role,
Semplenski will leverage his extensive experience to help develop and expand
One World Direct’s call center account relationships, thereby allowing the
company to focus more attention on the e-commerce and customer care needs
that the industry demands.
One World Direct’s call center is in the heart of rural America
– Mobridge, S.D. The center follows an integrated system and is equipped to
handle e-commerce accounts as well as the traditional call center portion of
business. Employees who answer the phone are trained to be friendly,
cheerful and considerate of the customer in all aspects of the call.
“‘Rural Shoring’ is a great alternative to off-shoring,” said
Thomas Unterseher, CEO, One World Direct. “Our call center is completely
integrated to our e-commerce platform and our fulfillment center, which
means we can compete on price and crush off-shore competitors in terms of
performance. In addition, we offer both facilities-based call-center staff
and home-based staff, which is the best of both worlds for our clients with
regards to customer response time. South Dakota is a great place for our
call center, where the mid-western work ethic is alive and well.”
Semplenski is a call center and e-commerce veteran, bringing a
lifetime of experience to One World Direct. Beginning his career at Xerox,
he has managed top-level, e-commerce initiatives. He also held senior
positions at Precision Response, and most recently, Global Response, where
he was vice president of business development.
“One World Direct offers all three integral pieces of the
outsourcing puzzle,” Semplenski said. “We have an extremely sophisticated
in-house tech staff, a wonderful fulfillment center and a state-of-the-art
call center. We do it all, and I am really excited to be a part of the
team.”
