CubeSmart, a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust focused on self-storage facilities, was awarded the Gold Stevie® Award in the ninth annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service are the world’s top awards for sales, contact centers, and customer service. CubeSmart received the top prize for Customer Service Department of the Year and also received the 2015 People’s Choice Stevie® Award for Favorite Customer Service in the All Other Industries category.

This is CubeSmart’s third consecutive year receiving the top award for Customer Service Department of the Year. This follows CubeSmart’s receipt of three Gold Stevie® Awards last year when the Company received top awards for Customer Service Department of the Year, Contact Center of the Year, and Customer Service Training Team of the Year. As an organization honored in the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, CubeSmart was eligible to be included in voting for the people’s choice awards, which was open to the public from January 22 through February 13. Over 51,000 votes were cast.

More than 1,900 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were evaluated in this year’s competition, and more than 500 nominated customer service and sales executives attended the awards ceremony held on February 27, 2015.

“We are honored and humbled not only to have successfully competed alongside a number of exceptional companies for our seventh Gold Stevie® Award in three years, but also to have been recognized directly by our Customers for our Customer service in the People’s Choice Stevie® Award,” commented CubeSmart President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher P. Marr. “To have these efforts recognized and see that our Customers are taking notice is exciting for us. We continue to differentiate ourselves within the self-storage industry through our more than 1,600 dedicated CubeSmart teammates who are focused on creating an unparalleled experience for our Customers every day.”
