VocaLabs Crosses 15,000 Panelist Milestone

Posted by Anonymous on January 23, 2003

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., January 23, 2003 - Vocal Laboratories, the pioneer of usability surveys for customer service, announced today crossing the 15,000 panelist milestone. VocaLabs' panelists provide a source of unfiltered feedback and ideas for improvement about a company's customer service.

"The importance of such a large number of panelists is significant. Surveys smaller than a few hundred panelists are simply not statistically meaningful. Surveys as large as several thousand panelists lead to more statistically accurate and reliable data. With over 15,000 panelists, we can promise our clients several thousand panelist responses in less than two weeks." commented Peter U. Leppik, CEO of VocaLabs.

VocaLabs panelists participate in the survey process by completing a series of steps including completing on-line questionnaires and calling a client's customer service operation. Each VocaLabs panelist is assigned a unique PIN for each survey which allows correlation to panelist's questionnaire responses, demographic information and call recordings in testing a client's operation.

"VocaLabs is unique. Unlike most test methods, we are able to survey on-demand with a broad sampling of the general public or select panelists to meet a particular demographic profile. We are the only organization capable of evaluating customer service with feedback from thousands of demographically diverse panelists," commented Rick Rappe, VP of Sales at VocaLabs.
