ForeSee Named "Technology Partner of the Year," Wins 2014 Gold Stevie® Award for Sales & Customer Service?

ForeSee (www.ForeSee.com), the industry's leading customer experience measurement and predictive analytics solutions for brands and organizations, has received a Gold Stevie^® Award for Sales and Customer Service?, the top prize in the Technology Partner of the Year category. Presented February 21, 2014, at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, the Stevie Awards for Sales and Customer Service honor the achievements of sales, business development, customer service, and call/contact center professionals worldwide. ForeSee won a Silver Stevie® Award in the same category in 2013.

ForeSee - the cornerstone of the Answers Cloud Services division of Answers Corp. - was recognized for its role in helping clients save hundreds of millions of dollars by delivering analytically-driven recommendations that resulted in measurably better customer experiences. ForeSee was nominated on the strength of three Customer Experience product innovations introduced in 2013:

• ForeSee cx360 (Oct. 2013): Groundbreaking on many fronts, ForeSee cx360 is a multichannel customer experience analytics platform that spans all the different touch points for customer engagement as well as the dynamic interaction between those touch points.
• ForeSee cxReplay? for Mobile (May 2013): This first-of-its-kind software-as-a-service solution provides granular visibility into how consumers engage with mobile sites and apps by delivering real-world video replays. Companies can see the taps, swipes and scrolls users make - to rapidly identify visitor struggles and expedite and validate improvements.

• Word-of-Mouth Index (WoMI, May 2013): Two years of research and testing with more than 300 companies culminated in the introduction of WoMI, the customer word-of-mouth index. ForeSee's research found that the industry's prevailing measurement, Net Promoter Score (NPS), overestimates brand detractors by 270% on average - often causing compnies to squander millions of dollars on misguided initiatives. WoMI evolves the widely adopted NPS into a more precise and relevant measurement.

More than 1,500 organizations of all sizes from across the world submitted entries for the 2014 Stevie Awards. Finalists were determined by the average scores of 260 executives and professionals who served as preliminary judges. In total, entries were considered in nearly 120 categories for customer service professionals.

"From our perspective this was the most successful Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service yet," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "Not just because of the increase in the number and variety of entries, but in the extraordinary quality of the entries. Judges have told me how impressed they were with the success stories they reviewed this year. All of this year's Stevie Award winners are truly deserving."
