Freeman Customer Support Center recognized for outstanding service

FreemanFreeman Customer Support Center has been recognized for call center customer satisfaction excellence for a second consecutive year under the J.D. Power and Associates Call Center Certification Program. The Call Center Certification Program distinction acknowledges a strong commitment by the Freeman Customer Support Center call center operations to provide “An Outstanding Customer Service Experience.”

To become certified, the call center operations successfully passed a detailed audit of more than 100 practices that encompass the call center’s customer satisfaction measurement and analysis strategies, recruiting, training, employee incentives, quality assurance capabilities and management roles and responsibilities. As part of its evaluation, J.D. Power and Associates also conducted a random survey of Freeman Customer Support Center customers who recently contacted its call center, located in Grand Prairie, Texas.

“With very solid performance across the board, Freeman Customer Support Center has earned certification for another year,” said Mark Miller, senior director of the global contact center practice at J.D. Power and Associates. “The continuation of Freeman Customer Support Center’s certification really speaks to the company’s dedication to the customer.”

For certification status, a call center must also perform within the top 20 percent of customer service scores, which are based on benchmarks established in J.D. Power and Associates’ cross-industry customer satisfaction research. The evaluation criteria include the customer service representative’s courtesy, knowledge and concern for the customer; promptness in speaking to a person; and timely resolution of the problem or request. Additionally, the experience with the automated phone system is evaluated based on the clarity of the information provided, the ease of navigating the phone menu prompts and the ease of understanding the phone menu instructions.

“We are very pleased to have achieved the 2011 Call Center Certification from J.D. Power and Associates,” said Katy Wild, executive vice president of customer relations at Freeman. “This is the second year in a row our Customer Support Center has been recognized. Providing the best possible overall customer experience continues to be the top priority at Freeman, and this certification is a demonstration of our team’s devotion to providing exceptional service day in and day out.”

The Call Center Certification Program was launched by J.D. Power and Associates in 2004 to evaluate overall customer satisfaction with call centers and to help call centers in various industries increase their efficiency and effectiveness by establishing and continually updating leading practices for handling service calls.
