LONDON, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- RSL Communications, Ltd.
(Nasdaq: RSLC) today announced that its United Kingdom subsidiary has been
chosen by SC Johnson to provide mobile, national and freephone telephony
services.
SC Johnson is the International household goods manufacturer of products
such as Pledge furniture polish and Glade air fresheners that are sold
worldwide. RSL COM is to supply the British arm of the company with an
integrated telecoms package that covers the individual needs of the business.
The contract, worth over 100,000 pounds a year, covers all national and
0800 calls and all mobile traffic. In the past SC Johnson used telecoms
companies such as British Telecom and Vodafone but has, over the past couple
of years, moved the accounts over to RSL COM.
"We have been extremely impressed with RSL COM since we started working
with them," said Tracey Lewis, Telecommunications Supervisor at SC Johnson.
"RSL COM's customer service is second to none and our account managers are
always quick to help whatever the problem. We originally used RSL COM only
for our fixed line telecoms but were so impressed with the service and price
we also decided to transfer our mobile contract from Vodafone."
"Customer service has always been a top priority for us so it is always
good to hear that we are getting it right," said Jeff Ball, Group Customer
Services Director of RSL COM. "The SC Johnson contract is a testament to our
customer service teams and the hard work they put in. Companies these days
need to have a telecoms contract and customer service they can rely on because
any downtime at all means a loss of revenue."
