The 2021 American Business Awards (ABA) winners were recently announced! Gleim is honored to report that we have received the Gold Stevie Award for Customer Service Department of the Year Opens in new window by the ABA!
A committee of judges reviews each Stevie Award application Opens in new window and carefully scores each company based on criteria for the award. The ABA judges provided feedback that was almost as exciting as receiving the actual Gold award! After reviewing hundreds of submissions, these are just a few of their comments about our team:
Extraordinary effort in the most challenging of circumstances.
Amazing service provided to its customers during a very difficult time in people’s lives. Not only juggling a new work/life balance from home but continuing their education.
I very much enjoyed reviewing the balance between auto efficienc[ies], such as chat, and the human experience such as increased counseling and check-ins.
Every day we hear from customers how much they enjoy working with Gleim and how we have changed their lives. As a company, we have always put the customer before ourselves—that’s why it is especially gratifying to have a nationally recognized organization say that Gleim is #1 in Customer Service.
“Customer satisfaction is a core mission of Gleim, and our company is committed to providing the best experience to all our customers” said Lorie M. Gleim, CEO. “By focusing on this core value, we’ve been able to empower a broader audience to pursue certification and build a better career for themselves. This award validates the success with which we’ve met this commitment and confirms we continue to shine as an industry leader.”
When calling Gleim, you will never be stuck with a robot operator. Not only is every phone call handled by a real person, but we strive, and staff, for low wait times. While most e-commerce sites make it difficult to contact the company for support, we encourage candidates to reach out with questions and feedback so that we can provide answers, support, and product fixes.
The Stevie Awards are judged on a series of stringent criteria. Here are just a few of the statistics that set us apart from our competitors:
We know that preparing for a certification exam is challenging under normal circumstances and that lately nothing has been normal. That’s why we made webinars a priority, and we were able to provide over 48 hours of live webinars for thousands of attendees from 17 countries on topics ranging from study tips to exam changes to technical content.

During this time of global uncertainty, some companies scaled back staff. We chose a different path: After the pandemic began, we expanded our customer service initiatives, grew our Personal Counselor staff, and increased customer outreach with study tips and regular check-ins. Even through these trying times, our Personal Counselors have maintained a 97% satisfaction rating!
The Gleim motto is “onward and upward.” Every decision we make is measured by how it will affect our customers’ success on exam day—we believe this is what the Stevie Awards are about. Our customers’ stories inspire us; because of them, we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the customer experience and help candidates achieve their goals. We owe our customers everything—they are the reason we do what we do!
