/24-7PressRelease/ - SALT LAKE CITY, UT, May 06, 2007 - Allegiance, Inc., the premier provider of enterprise feedback management solutions, today announced the recipients of the first annual Allegiance Customer and Employee Loyalty Awards.

Allegiance presented the awards to this year's winners at the company's first annual user conference on April 20, 2007 in Park City, Utah.

"Allegiance has made it simple to collect, track and respond to customer feedback we receive from across our organization," said Jay Blury, marketing officer for Northrim Bank. "The Active Listening System is a solution that our customers are comfortable using and increasingly relying upon to communicate their concerns, ask questions and offer compliments to well-deserving employees. We appreciate receiving the Allegiance Loyalty Award, especially because it is an indicator that as an organization, we are working hard to take care of our customers, and our efforts are working and being recognized."
"The first annual Allegiance Customer and Employee Loyalty Awards is one way that we can publicly recognize the success of our customers and their focus on improving customer and employee loyalty," said Adam Edmunds, president and chief executive officer of Allegiance, Inc. "It is certainly no coincidence that each of these organizations is a recognized and respected leader in their particular industries, and they are growing. These organizations, like most of our customers, are using customer and employee feedback to better understand the pulse of their organization, and act quickly on feedback to directly impact customer and employee loyalty."
The loyalty scores are based upon the collective feedback from employees and customers, and their responses to proprietary loyalty questions asked when they submit feedback. Studies have proven that increases in loyalty translate into increases in retention, which leads to increases in profitability.
"Loyalty is a proven indicator for success," added Dr. Gary Rhoads, co-founder of Allegiance and business loyalty expert. "Loyal customers will actually pay more for products than non-loyal customers and will actively share their positive experiences with others. The Allegiance Customer Loyalty Award winners fully understand that the investments they have made in their feedback systems are investments in the future success of their organizations."
