The Inc. 500 ranks privately held companies according to averaged year-over-year sales growth over the past four years. The companies that made this list have thrived despite continued stagnation in the economy, posting an average year-over-year sales growth of 265%. Over the years, the Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of world-class companies, with Microsoft, Stonyfield Farms, Timberland, Oracle, The Princeton Review, Morningstar, E*Trade, Intuit, and Domino’s Pizza all appearing on the list before they became industry powerhouses. The Inc. 500 Special Issue will appear on newsstands October 26th.

VAS utilizes a unique contact center model called the Distributed Workforce Concept, which allows VAS to locate small centers in rural communities and network them together into one "virtual" center. This allows VAS to ‘bring the work to the people’ rather than requiring people to commute or relocate to find work, all the while maintaining all the economies of scale normally associated with larger consolidated centers. This concept also allows VAS to select and maintain some of the best employees in the business. In an industry where attrition rates can reach triple digits, VAS averages only a 15% turnover across all ten of its locations.

"Virtual-Agent Services is very excited to be recognized by such a prestigious publication as Inc. 500 and to be included among such a distinguished group of companies,” commented Robert Camastro, President and Co-Founder of VAS. “Given our unique contact center model and the high value product it allows us to provide the North American business community, we are looking forward to continued growth and success.”
