"At Wachovia, we deeply value our customers and work to show our appreciation each day through exceptional customer service," said Robert K. Steel, CEO and president of Wachovia Corporation. "Our 'Who Would You Thank?' contest is important because it allows us to express our gratitude while giving customers the opportunity to say 'thank you' to others."
To honor the universal spirit of gratitude, the Wachovia contest is open to customers and non-customers. Anyone 18 years of age or older is invited to share first-hand, compelling stories of someone they would like to thank and why. Wachovia will then help one grand prize winner bring that thank you to life with a $10,000 prize.
Last year's contest allowed the Puckett family of North Carolina to thank Georgia native John Lane, who heroically saved the lives of Gary and Sally Puckett. More than just a good Samaritan, Lane risked his own life by pulling the couple from a burning car -- an extraordinary act deserving of an extraordinary thank you.
This year's entries must be 250 words or less and can be submitted by visiting wachovia.com/thankyou or wachovia.com/gracias. An independent panel of judges will select one grand prize winner and 15 additional winners to receive cash prizes ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to thank their nominees. Contest rules are available at http://www.wachovia.com/thankyou/rules.
The 2008 "Who Would You Thank" contest will run through National Customer Service Week, concluding on Oct. 10, 2008. Congress proclaimed National Customer Service Week a national event in 1992. It is observed the first full week of October.
Exceptional customer service is a hallmark of Wachovia, as marked by the company's No. 1 ranking for seven consecutive years in the American Customer Satisfaction Index, a cross-industry survey of consumer satisfaction conducted by the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
