VeriSign Assures Online Customer Satisfaction with ForeSee Results

Business Wire, Oct 5, 2006

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- ForeSee Results is using the proven methodology of the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) to measure the satisfaction of online customers of VeriSign, the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure for the networked world.

A random sample of visitors to VeriSign's corporate web site (www.verisign.com) are asked to respond to an online survey during their website experience. The sophisticated and scientific methodology of the ACSI shows VeriSign which aspects of the online experience, e.g., search, content, etc., are having the most impact on overall satisfaction with the website. Unlike other methods of measuring customer satisfaction, the ACSI-based methodology also shows how improvements in satisfaction drive behaviors tied to loyalty, such as return visits to the site and word-of-mouth recommendations.

ForeSee Results' unique customer satisfaction measurement solution also enables VeriSign to profile visitors to the site (e.g., customers vs. prospects, primary purpose of their visit, etc.) and to understand how satisfaction varies by different audience segments.

"VeriSign's site is geared toward educating site visitors and generating sales leads," said Larry Freed, President and CEO of ForeSee Results. "Customer satisfaction analytics can play a crucial role in uncovering insights that can be leveraged to improve lead generation efforts both online and offline."
