About the MarketTools ACE Awards
Established in 2005, the MarketTools ACE (Achievement in Customer Excellence) Awards program recognizes outstanding achievement in customer, employee and partner satisfaction. To be eligible for a 2011 MarketTools ACE Award, clients must have conducted one or more surveys to assess customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, or partner satisfaction between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2010, and complete an application form. Qualifying performance is determined by a combination of customer satisfaction mean scores and top-box rating percentages maintained during at least a 6-month period during the eligibility period. The customer feedback on which awards are based must be representative of the entire business, business unit or business segment to which the award applies. MarketTools ensures that the survey processes on which metrics are based are rigorous, defensible and repeatable. Surveys may use either a census of the target audience or representative sampling with specified minimum confidence levels and maximum margins of error.
The ACE Awards for Best Use of EFM acknowledge MarketTools ACE Award winners who have used their customer, employee or partner feedback solution to achieve results that have significantly benefited their businesses. The award categories include: Best Use of EFM for Voice of the Customer, Best Use of EFM for Voice of the Employee, Best Use of EFM for Voice of the Partner, Best Use of EFM Across the Enterprise, Best Use of EFM to Drive Overall Business Impact, and Best Use of EFM in the Contact Center.
