2010 Chattanooga Seal of Satisfaction Award Recipient Companies Announced

Monday, February 08, 2010

Services Select, LLC has announced the 2010 Seal of Satisfaction certification mark and award recipient companies for Chattanooga. The awards and certificates were presented to representatives of each company during the black-tie 2010 Seal of Satisfaction Awards Dinner held at the Chattanoogan hotel.

“The Seal of Satisfaction is a federally registered certification mark on which consumers can rely,” said Gary Miller, Services Select’s CEO. “Companies receiving the Seal have committed to uphold the highest standards of quality and exceptional service. It separates and elevates recipient companies from their competitors and certainly simplifies the life of the consumer wondering which company to contact when in need. Services Select has a 19-step evaluation and interview process, with five of those steps involving further elimination of companies not meeting the high standards and commitment required for certification.”

An independent research firm, Wilkins Research Services, conducts the nomination process with local consumers. From over 70 different professional services categories, consumers nominate businesses who are then evaluated using proprietary criteria. Upon eliminating companies not worthy of consideration for the Seal of Satisfaction, the research company provides Services Select with a certified list of finalist companies. There are never more than 24 professional services companies receiving the Seal of Satisfaction certification mark and award annually in each metropolitan area, making it a very exclusive recognition, officials said.
