To earn J.D. Power certification, centers must perform within the top 20 percent of customer service scores based on criteria that include a specialist’s courtesy, job knowledge and concern for the customer; promptness in answering customer calls; and a timely resolution of the customer’s request or problem. J.D. Power also evaluates the customer’s ease in navigating a company’s interactive voice response system; the clarity of information provided by the system; and the ease of understanding the phone menu instructions.
