Reference for Ms. Detra Littles
Ms. Detra Littles was a significant member of the contracted staff for our Mobile
Services team that provides support for Wireless/Blackberry services in Veterans
Affairs Central Office (VACO).
In this support role, Ms. Littles assisted the team in supporting 5,000+ VACO
wireless customers. The VACO customers included among others, VA principal
executives and senior managers. Providing support to VA’s most senior staff
requires professionalism, quality technical skills, diplomacy and ability to work
under high pressure situations.
It is evident by the various customer compliments we received that Ms. Little’s
was able to meet these goals by setting a high value on providing quality
customer service.
Customer comments included: “A wonderful person with great technical skills;”
“She enjoys her job by being professional and she goes that extra mile to assist
and help;” and “You can tell her goal is the customer and to make the customer
happy and getting the job done and done right.”
Ms. Littles positive approach when working with the customers not only won her
this high praise from the customers; she was likewise recognized by her
colleagues as someone who could “tame” even the most difficult customer.
Ms. Littles was a valued member of the Mobile Services team, making it a unified
team that provides first-class customer service. Additionally, her willingness to
provide weekend on-call service was a vital service that she and one other
contracted staff member provided. She helped to ensure our critical wireless
services were available 24x7.
Ms. Littles will be an asset to any team in providing quality customer support.
