ClearlyRated Culture
We believe in providing our clients fanatical service and expect you to provide that same level of service to internal and external customers. We view client service as paramount to our success and the following are just a couple examples of how we approach it day-to-day.
- Any employee can spend up to $100 without management approval to “make a client’s day”.
- We drove to a client’s office in Seattle with a basket of gifts for their entire office to personally apologize for a mistake we made with one of their surveys.
- We have been known to send bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir to east coast clients to “virtually” toast the completion of a successful project.
