FOR SUPPLIERS WHO WISH TO ENTER…
The SUPPLIER OF THE YEAR AWARD category is designed to recognise the levels of customer service and the value added to agents businesses by suppliers to the industry. This is done in exactly the same way as agents in the main competition, by asking clients to rate their suppliers.
So no submission to write, no judging panel, no telephone interview, just the thoughts of thousands of clients across the industry. Once you are registered we will provide you with a hyperlink which you can direct your clients to in order for them to complete a questionnaire rating you on the level of service you provide and the value you add to their business.
We will also provide you with a unique username/password enabling you to track votes and monitor your customer service rating during the competition. Additionally you will be able to download the ESTAS Supplier Award logo to use in all marketing material, highlighting your participation and focus on high levels of customer service.
A press release will also be available.
Final scores will be based on the average score you receive from the questionnaires completed. There will also be bonus points dependent on the number completed. For more information on this please contact us via the contact us page on this website.
The TOP 10 SUPPLIERS in the competition will be shortlisted and the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced at the 11th annual ESTAS ceremony in April 2014 at the Hilton Park Lane.
PLEASE NOTE: Dependent on the final number of entries there may be additional recognition by supplier sector for companies involved.
After the awards we will also provide you with a CLIENT FEEDBACK REPORT with all the data and comments from your clients that voted.
