Lapeer, Mich. (Dec. 28, 2016): Among the most recent recipients of City Beat News’ (CBN) prestigious Spectrum Award for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction are four first-time winners.
In partnership with The Stirling Center for Excellence, CBN recognizes these companies for providing an outstanding customer experience and honors them with the Spectrum Award. Winners are based on CBN’s independent, proprietary research and evaluation system, which identifies businesses with a track record of top-flight customer service and customer satisfaction. The rating system combines data collected from nominations, online and other customer reviews, surveys, blogs, social networks, business-rating services, and other honors and accolades — all of which express the voice of the customer.
