Leading Customer Experience Management Firm, Mindshare, Announces Historic Financial, Transactional, and Publishing Milestones

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - May 28, 2008

Mindshare Technologies, the leading provider of real-time customer and employee feedback solutions, today announced that it just completed its 60th consecutive month of increasing revenues – dating back to March 2003. Mindshare uses a SaaS (Software as a Service) subscription model, where its clients essentially "lease" its software, paying a minimal software "rental" fee each month – (similar to the way cable TV and cell phones are billed.) Mindshare's customer feedback application can be up and running in days, with no software or hardware for clients to install.

The company is also pleased to announce that it recently collected its 20 millionth customer survey. Mindshare services clients in over 25+ industries, providing its clients with actionable information that they can use to immediately improve their operations. Leading corporations like Hertz, Papa Murphy's, Firestone, Sizzler, Tony Roma's, and Marriott use Mindshare's Enterprise Feedback Management system on a global basis to improve their operations each day. The company collects feedback from 67 countries in 14 languages.

Mindshare is also pleased at the wide acceptance its Chairman and President, Richard D. Hanks has received for his Book, "Delivering and Measuring Customer Service." The book has steadily moved up on book site rankings. "Endorsements from the press and from business leaders have been very encouraging," said Rich Hanks. Examples include:

"The finest book on customer service I've ever read."
—Stephen R. Covey, Author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"It's refreshing to read a business book that is both relevant and entertaining."
—John D. Barr, CEO, Papa Murphy's International
"A 'must read' for those interested in customer service."
—William R. Tiefel, Chairman CarMax, Inc.; Chairman Emeritus, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co.
"Instantly strikes a chord with operators."
—Bob Nilsen, CEO, Cafe Rio, Former President, Burger King

"We are pleased to reach these three important milestones," said John Sperry, CEO. "We believe Mindshare is the fastest growing feedback company in the world, delivering robust management tools that capture customer perceptions, transforming them immediately into actionable customer intelligence."

Richard D. Hanks is President of Mindshare, the leading provider of real-time, automated customer feedback solutions. Rich has been a senior executive of several Fortune 500 companies as well as several start-up ventures. His experience spans multiple industries and disciplines, including many years as an adjunct university professor and as an executive consultant. He was an EVP and Corporate Officer at Marriott, where he led the marketing strategy, sales, distribution, and revenue management efforts for Marriott's 13 lodging brands and $18 billion in sales. Most notably, Rich was named "The Leading Sales Innovator in the Lodging Industry," and Marriott's sales team was rated one of the top 25 in the U.S. for 4 years under his leadership. Rich also led Marriott onto the Internet, prompting Bill Gates to refer to him as an "important Internet champion" in his book Business @ the Speed of Thought. Rich is the author of the widely-acclaimed book, "Delivering and Measuring Customer Service."
