The FIVE STAR program is in major metro markets across the United States.
The only service award based on direct client satisfaction
This consumer-based approach to identifying service professionals is unique in the marketplace and specifically designed to help consumers identify a high quality service professional. The FIVE STAR Best in Client Satisfaction program is managed by Crescendo Business Services LLC, Eagan, Minnesota, which owns the licensing rights to this award.
Crescendo works with city and regional magazines to present the "FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction" award to professionals in many industries, and in many markets. Crescendo is proud to be working with partner publications on the FIVE STAR program. This award is limited to seven percent of all professionals within a specific industry and market area. As an independent third party, Crescendo presents the FIVE STAR award to assist consumers in selecting a service professional other consumers have indicated provides exceptional client satisfaction.
Crescendo assists FIVE STAR professionals in effectively marketing their award and enhancing their business results. Because the award is based on sound research methodology and comes from an independent third party it can be the cornerstone of an effective marketing program to positively differentiate the service professional from their competition. Crescendo reserves the right to revoke this award when criteria are not being met.
