DeGarmo Client Receives J.D. Power Customer Service Champion Award
Bloomington, IL – DeGarmo (www.degarmo.com), is proud to report that US Cellular (www.uscellular.com) was recognized as a J.D. Power Customer Service Champion—one of only 40 companies to have earned this distinction this year.
US Cellular uses DeGarmo’s talent acquisition systems to select employees who work in their front-line, customer-facing roles such as Customer Service Representatives and Retail Sales Associates, among others. “We’re happy to see US Cellular recognized with such a prestigious award. We’ve worked very closely with their Talent Acquisition team over the years to ensure that our assessment solutions help to select the best people to fill those critical front-line positions” stated Anthony Adorno, Chief Operating Officer for DeGarmo. To qualify for inclusion on this elite list, companies must not only excel within their own industries, but also must stand out among leading brands in 20 major industries evaluated by J.D. Power. Five key customer “touch points” measured included people, presentation, process, product and price. To identify the J.D. Power Customer Service Champions, J.D. Power evaluated more than 800 brands. Companies were identified based on customer feedback, opinions, and perceptions gathered primarily from J.D. Power’s syndicated research as well as additional, supplemental research. This group of 40 represents the highest-performing companies that deliver service excellence to U.S. customers—both within their respective industries and across all industries measured. According to Alan D. Ferber, executive vice president of operations for U.S. Cellular, “We are especially honored to be named a Customer Service Champion because it’s based on the opinion of our customers. They deserve excellent customer service, and we will continue to work hard to deliver it.”
