SQM awards Jackson “Call Center World Class Call Certification” in customer satisfaction, “Highest Customer Service for the Financial Industry” and “Highest Customer Service for the B2B Industry”

LANSING, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (Jackson®) has been awarded with “Call Center World Class Call Certification” and “Highest Customer Service for the Financial Industry” for the 10th time by The Service Quality Measurement Group, Inc. (SQM)1. In addition, Jackson received its first “Highest Customer Service for the B2B Industry” award2, which is based on the highest “First Call Resolution” rate among all B2B industries, including financial, health insurance, telecommunications, utilities, credit card, retail and help desk companies.

“Jackson’s Service Center is a primary point of communication for financial professionals and our more than four million contract-holders nationwide,” said James Sopha, president of Jackson. “We understand the value in providing timely and thorough information, and continue to enhance our technology capabilities to offer the best possible support to our Customer Service professionals. Our professionals work tirelessly to deliver quality customer care, and I am pleased that they have again been recognized for their dedication to excellence.”

SQM benchmarked more than 500 leading North American call centers from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. For the Call Center Certification Program, SQM surveys a minimum of 800 customers within two business days of their call to the call center to gauge their service experience. According to SQM, to achieve Call Center World Class Call Certification, 80 percent or more of the calls must be at the “world class level” for at least three months.

SQM’s criteria are based on the customer’s satisfaction with his or her service experience and customer service representative, as well as the resolution of the call. On average, 75 percent of calls received in the financial industry receive the highest possible Call Center Satisfaction score; Jackson far exceeded this average with 92 percent of calls receiving the highest possible score. Additionally, Jackson’s service representatives were able to resolve 86 percent of issues in one call, which is markedly higher than the financial industry average of 72 percent.
