Lincoln Financial Group Named among the Top 100 Call Centers in America for Life Insurance and Annuity Customer Service Excellence


Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) announced today that its life insurance and annuity Customer Contact Centers have both been named Top 100 Call Centers in America by BenchmarkPortal (News - Alert). Both operational teams received this honor for demonstrating - among the wide variety of industries assessed by BenchmarkPortal - that they are customer experience leaders.

"Lincoln Financial has the privilege of helping millions of Americans protect and provide for the financial futures of their loved ones," said Dennis R. Glass, president and CEO of Lincoln Financial Group. "Topnotch customer service is a fundamental part of that process, and I am very proud of our knowledgeable and experienced teams. It is extremely gratifying to know that our commitment to delivering excellent customer service is making a difference."

Each year, Top 100 awards are granted on the basis of objective, metrics-driven performance. Specifically, companies are judged on various factors, including average speed of answer, calls per agent per hour, agent turnover and caller satisfaction. This marks the fifth consecutive year the life team placed in the Top 100 and the third consecutive year for the annuity team. These results are based on more than 200 Life and Annuity service professionals interacting with approximately 2.5 million customers.

"Lincoln Financial Group's annuity and life Customer Contact Centers are among the best in any industry," said Bruce Belfiore, BenchmarkPortal CEO. "They continue to consistently demonstrate that they provide superior service, and we congratulate them on their latest accomplishment."
