Certified Customer Service Program for Outsourcers

Credible validation that your customers can count on

To avoid competing solely on price, customer service outsourcers must demonstrate to current and prospective clients that they are different and can be trusted with client’s most precious asset—their customers. Certifications built on internal performance metrics and adherence to technical operating standards serve a purpose, but rarely do they profoundly influence the client’s executives who decide which outsourced partner to use, which is exactly what is needed.

Certified Customer Service Program for Outsourcers

The J.D. Power Certified Customer Service Program directly addresses the performance your customers and management value most, offering meaningful recognition by a trusted source to boost awareness, sales, and profits.

Certification includes:

A comprehensive survey that measures customer satisfaction, operational excellence, loyalty, and advocacy for the assisted phone channel, the interactive voice response (IVR) routing and self-service channels, and the Web self-service channel
Process reviews and staff interviews through an onsite evaluation conducted by industry experts, which compares your company’s operations to the 313 established best practices that drive operational excellence and customer satisfaction
Detailed reports and facilitated readouts that help your company identify and close gaps
A one-year license to use the same J.D. Power survey and Customer Service Best Practices Scorecard used throughout the certification process
Guidance around how your company may market this achievement on your website, on email signatures, at trade shows, and through other impactful materials
