ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
International customer satisfaction firm CFI Group today announced
a new strategic partnership with OLC Global, a leading teleservices
company. CFI Group will leverage the expertise of OLC Global's
business to business sales division to drive sales growth of CFI
Group's CallSat(R) and other products designed to help a broad range
of businesses improve customer service and customer satisfaction with
the call center.

   Using the proven methodology of the University of Michigan's
American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), CFI Group is able to
quantify the link between drivers of customer satisfaction and
financial outcomes.

   "OLC Global will help us deliver CallSat(R) to the front doors of
call centers around the United States," said Sheri Teodoru, CEO of CFI
Group. "Their relationship with the call center industry allows us to
disseminate ACSI-based customer satisfaction research and analysis to
call center managers who are eager to improve financial results
without sacrificing satisfaction."

   "We're excited to partner with such a highly regarded customer
satisfaction measurement and management firm," said Tom O'Connor, CEO
of OLC Global. "Justifying improvements and resource allocation
decisions become much simpler when you can determine what elements of
the customer experience will have the most impact on satisfaction,
loyalty, and revenue. With CFI Group, we're about to make those
resources a lot more accessible."
