Here when you need us–The Personal Touch
At DSG Associates, we know your business success depends on personal attention to your customers’ concerns. So does ours. That’s why for over 30 years now, DSG has built a culture based on personal attention to detail and personal interaction with clients and Independent Contractors (ICs).
It’s easy to get to a live person at DSG at any time during business hours. If you want to contact us, we’ll be available to talk with you –usually immediately, but always within hours at the most. Of course, your emails will get fast attention too. Either way, your inquiries or program changes will be personally addressed quickly.
At DSG, your success is our success, so we take the term “stewardship” seriously. We watch over every aspect of your field service project from start to finish and contact you with any concerns or recommendations
Our Contractors- Mystery Shoppers, Auditors, Interviewers
Despite a broad network of more than 300,000 independent contractors, we maintain a high level of continuous personal contact to ensure successful and timely completion of every assignment.
Most of our work with our contractors is done on line, however, we believe it’s critical to balance the need for speed and efficiency with what we believe is an equally powerful imperative for the direct, personal contact that can improve clarity, accuracy, mutual understanding and ultimately mutual success. So, just as we are available for our clients when they need us, we are available by phone for our contractors too. We want to ensure they know what you want and perform their assignment correctly.
