ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ Industry Awards Calendar Published by ClearlyRated - March 28, 2023 A calendar of ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ industry awards and their registration deadlines. Every year, ClearlyRated recognizes leading firms in professional service industries whose clients (and/or placed talent or internal employees) have ranked them in the elite class of service excellence. These annual service excellence awards are based exclusively on Net Promoter® Score (NPS) ratings gathered through the ClearlyRated survey program. Eligibility requirements are robust, and all ratings are validated and measured against industry standards on an annual basis – with each year’s winners announced starting in February. ClearlyRated ‘Best of’ Industry Awards Cycle At the beginning of February each year, ClearlyRated publishes lists of the ‘Best of’ award-winning B2B firms in each of our awarded industries for the current year. As additional firms qualify for the award(s) in their industry, those firm names are added to the published list of winners for the current award year.

To be eligible for a ClearlyRated industry award, your firm must be located in the United States or Canada. Using the ClearlyRated survey process, clients (and/or placed talent or internal employees) of participating B2B firms are sent an online survey asking them to rate their satisfaction with their firm based on the Net Promoter® survey methodology. Each firm’s survey responses are calculated and validated by third party research firm and competition administrator, ClearlyRated. Based on industry benchmarks for the given award year, ClearlyRated determines the minimum satisfaction score that firms must earn to be awarded – ensuring client satisfaction and service quality of winning firms is significantly higher than the industry average.
