Collaboration is our driving force
Greater Springfield is unique in its approach. Our business resource team acts as a unified virtual customer service organization to meet the needs of existing businesses and prospects. We meet collectively to address challenges and obstacles of company growth - and we do it confidentially, professionally, and with a sense of urgency. This is where we can make a difference. Our customer service collectively is a growing source of competitive advantage.
A core business team has a regularly scheduled meeting monthly and meets frequently through the week as various project teams form to address specific issues. We work with another core group of partners and a multitude of contacts and volunteers.
