The United Servicers Association’s Most Professional Servicer Contest has continued to grow in popularity every year since its creation by former UASA Executive Director Paul MacDonald. The response has now increased to thousands and boasts a reach to appliance industry professionals, vendors, and servicers all over North America.
Top service companies are selected from their entries based on marketing and professional appearance, proving first impressions are so important to presenting a polished appearance in the community, capturing new customers, and attracting the attention of service providers and potential employees.
The Most Professional Servicer Contest highlight’s the professionalism, hard work, and resources appliance service company owners invest in their businesses.
