College Works Painting Earns Award for Achieving Outstanding Customer Satisfaction Ratings
With a high customer satisfaction rating, College Works Painting in Irvine receives the Talk Award for Outstanding Customer Satisfaction.
Irvine, CA, April 14, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Irvine-based College Works Painting has been recognized by The Talk Awards for its continued reputation of top-notch customer service with the 2016 Talk Award for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction.
“We are grateful to be recognized as a Talk Award Winner,” says Matthew Stewart, co-founder and co-CEO of College Works Painting. “We understand that our customer satisfaction, referrals and reviews dictate our success in the future and we will continue to work to be the most customer-centric painting company in the world.”
To ensure customer satisfaction remains a top priority, College Works Painting has invested in technology and systems to measure customer satisfaction, including its recent addition of Net Promoter Score®. Adding to that is a company-wide competition to get employees on board with providing a high level of customer service and fast problem resolution.
“We measure resolutions in minutes and hours and compete between divisions to see who can resolve customer issues the fastest,” says Stewart. “Division heads compete for the best Net Promoter Score®, and we discuss it at all company-wide meetings. With 95% of the staff paid based on profits, everyone takes a hit if there are added costs to improve quality on particular jobs, so the stakes are high.”
College Works Painting also has a team of people who travel to analyze safety and customer satisfaction on the job sites. Furthermore, surveys, referral programs and bonuses/scholarships for customer satisfaction also motivate employees to make sure they are putting customers first.
Other ways the company is using technology to improve customer satisfaction include streamlining the bidding process to make it less time consuming for customers and more user friendly during the bidding and sales process. “We are also using Google Earth to analyze jobs pre-production to ensure the best methods of addressing our jobs,” says Stewart.
“Having great customer service is the cornerstone to a fantastic business, and learning how to deliver that is our number-one goal as a company,” says Stewart. “Receiving the Talk Award shows that we are progressing very well, and we will continue to evolve our program to make it better.”
