Newgen Launches First International Service Reminder Program

SAN DIEGO, March 12 -- Newgen Results Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. , today announced the launch of Quality Care Maintenance Reminder System ("QCMRS") Canada in conjunction with Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. ("Ford of Canada").

QCMRS is a Ford-endorsed and branded version of Newgen's service reminder program. Scheduled to launch in early 2003, and roll out to Ford of Canada dealerships throughout the remainder of the year, the program will be the first international launch of Newgen's service reminder solution, and will be provided in Canada's two official languages, English and French.

QCMRS will improve customer relationships for Ford of Canada dealerships by providing targeted service reminders via letters and telephone calls, encouraging customers to schedule regular maintenance visits. Piloted with nine Ford of Canada dealerships since July 2002, the program resulted in an average return on investment for participating dealerships of five to one, outpacing non-participating dealerships in overall retail labor sales, retail parts sales, and retail repair volume.

"Ford of Canada's overall strategy is based on fostering customer loyalty. Newgen's reminder program is a natural complement to our strategy as we work with our dealerships to implement tools that increase customer loyalty," said Jim Neal, Manager of Ford of Canada's Business Development and Marketing Office. "Dealerships will further build trusting relationships with their customers by maintaining contact with them on a regular basis. The pilot results are very promising, and with Newgen's dedicated Canadian presence we have an excellent partner in our quest to grow our business through customer loyalty."

"We are excited about Ford of Canada's decision to launch a program that has proven successful with over 2,200 dealerships in the United States," said William Klehm III, President and General Manager of Newgen. "Our relationship with Ford of Canada demonstrates our commitment to expand our capabilities internationally, with localized Newgen professionals who understand the special needs of the Canadian market."
