NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Contact At Once!, a LivePerson Company (NASDAQ: LPSN) has received the "Highest Rated" Chat Products Award in the sixth annual DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards, presented in conjunction with the 2015 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo. Contact At Once! received the highest dealer satisfaction ranking in the Chat Products category, as determined by the thousands of auto dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community. It is the company's fifth consecutive time to receive the honor.

"There is no better validation of Contact At Once's ability to drive meaningful connections, both between the Company and dealerships, and customers and dealerships, than this award, which is based on the votes of industry participants," said LivePerson CEO and founder, Rob LoCascio.  "We have already launched efforts to duplicate the success of this award-recognized capability in additional verticals, such as the real estate market," added John Hanger, Contact At Once! general manager.
