Public Service of Oklahoma : Named Customer Champion

Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) is pleased to announce it has been named a 2017 Residential Customer Champion in a Cogent Reports study by Market Strategies International.

Cogent Reports surveyed almost 60,000 customers from the 128 largest U.S. utility companies. The Customer Champion distinction was given to 17 electric-only utilities plus 32 other natural gas and gas-electric combination utilities. In a news release, Market Strategies noted that those named Customer Champions rate higher than industry peers on being well managed companies.

'The bottom line is that Customer Champions are superior at profitably managing their customer operations and marketing efforts,' said Chris Oberle, a senior vice president at Market Strategies International. 'These utilities also lead on industry innovation and building the new energy economy,' he adds.

'It is an honor to be listed as a Customer Champion along with some of the top utilities in the country,' said Scott Ritz, PSO director of customer services and marketing. 'But it is even more satisfying knowing that our customers recognize the effort we put forward to provide them with highly reliable electricity and customer service to support their ever-changing needs.'
