Pacific Life today announced that its Life Insurance and Retirement Solutions Divisions have both been honored with 2018 DALBAR customer service awards.

The Life Insurance Division was awarded with the Insurance Service Award which recognizes outstanding telephone support to policyholders. These interactions are reviewed throughout the year, covering all aspects of the customer experience. To qualify for the award, companies must exceed quality thresholds in all criteria.

Pacific Life's Retirement Solutions Division earned the Financial Intermediary Service Award for the 15th consecutive year and ranked #1 among annuity companies for the sixth consecutive year. The award reflects outstanding quality of telephone service and support delivered post-sale to financial professionals.

"At Pacific Life, we value the relationships we share with policyholders and financial professionals, which don’t end when a product is sold," said Pacific Life Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Adrian Griggs. "We're proud to be recognized for exceptional service and strive to ensure enduring customer support."
