Receiving a CustomerSat ACE Award demonstrates both rigorous application of customer feedback processes and outstanding performance as measured by those processes. It also recognizes those responsible for serving customers in the recipient’s organization.

“Other measures come and go, but customer satisfaction is the most enduring and consistent predictor of customer loyalty, long-term growth, and corporate value. It is also the measure that customers themselves care most about.” said John Chisholm, CustomerSat Chairman & CEO. “The CustomerSat ACE Award confirms to the world an organization’s commitment to customer satisfaction and its success in achieving customer satisfaction.”

ACE Award Selection Criteria

Qualifying performance is a combination of customer satisfaction mean scores and top-box rating percentages maintained during the year. CustomerSat ensures that the survey processes on which metrics are based are rigorous, defensible and repeatable.
