Sant Wins Stevie® Award for Customer Satisfaction Growth

CINCINNATI; December 6, 2006... The Sant Corporation, a world leader in proposal and sales document automation software, was presented with a Stevie award in the Highest Customer Satisfaction Growth category in The 2006 Selling Power Sales Excellence Awards last night.

The awards were jointly presented by Selling Power magazine, the leading sales management publication with 145,000 subscribers in 67 countries, and The Stevie® Awards, which have been hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post (April 27, 2005).

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners were announced during a gala banquet at the Westin Casuarina Hotel, Spa & Casino in Las Vegas. More than 230 nominated sales executives from around the world attended.

More than 300 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories this year, including Best Run Sales Organization of the Year, National VP of Sales of the Year, and Sales Training Program of the Year. Sant was the winner in the Highest Customer Satisfaction Growth category.

Sant’s customer satisfaction rating is 88 percent, an 8 percent increase over last year. Customers utilizing all four Sant Suite applications report a customer satisfaction rating of 95 percent. These ratings were gathered from Sant’s annual customer satisfaction survey, which was completed by 136 companies across North America, Europe, and Australia.

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie Award winners from among the Finalists. Finalists were chosen by business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging.

“We congratulate all of the Stevie winners in the first annual Selling Power Sales Excellence Awards for their historic accomplishments,” said Gerhard Gschwandtner, founder and publisher of Selling Power. “As these awards grow in entries and visibility over the years, these companies will be able to look back with pride and say that they were the first-ever winners of these coveted awards.”
