We’re delighted to be recognized for the superior operational performance and experience we provide to our clients, as this is our customer experience standard.

Service centers achieve the Center of Excellence distinction based on best-practice metrics drawn from the world’s largest database of objective and quantitative data that is audited and validated by researchers from BenchmarkPortal. Centers are judged against a Balanced Scorecard of metrics for efficiency and effectiveness. Those centers that demonstrate superior performance on both cost-related metrics and quality-related metrics compared with their industry peers earn the award.

Among the many metrics we benchmarked, I was particularly struck by the high level of customer satisfaction and by the efficiency with which contacts are handled. These measures show that State National is maintaining a balanced scorecard of quality and costs that results in exceptional best practice performance.”
