NMMA announces Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index Awards

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) today announced 45 recipients of the 2014/2015 Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards for excellence in customer satisfaction. Award recipients were acknowledged this morning during the annual Industry Breakfast at the 2015 International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Louisville.

The Marine Industry CSI Awards honor manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015.

Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed nearly 60,000 customers.

“Customer satisfaction is so much more than providing an outstanding product. It’s about delivering an exceptional experience during the sale and beyond,” notes Robert Newsome, vice president of engineering standards for NMMA. “We congratulate these 45 manufacturers for their commitment to promoting a positive boat ownership experience.”
