Customer satisfaction is critical to a company’s success. Happy customers stay longer and buy more, while unhappy customers can damage your reputation. Proactive measurement of customer satisfaction allows you to understand their expectations, identify areas for improvement, and build stronger customer relationships. Customer sat is a direct reflection of a company’s health today, and its prospects for the future.
It makes good sense to proactively determine customer satisfaction, to gain a better understanding of customers’ expectations, identify problem areas, analyze and evaluate customer relationships, build loyalty, and source ideas for new products, new services, and better ways to “land and expand”.
- High customer sat scores lead to higher retention, increased lifetime value, and not incidentally, a strong brand reputation.
- Low scores reveal customer pain paints and provide insights on how to improve.
It also makes good sense to have innovative software that makes it easy to find out, in real time, exactly where you stand. Ultimately, measuring customer satisfaction, and taking action on what you learn, is vital for the sustainability and growth of a company.
How to Measure Customer Satisfaction
There are four types of customer satisfaction measurements and processes that you should consider, all of which are survey-based:
- Net Promoter Score (NPS): This metric asks how likely a customer is to recommend your company to a friend or colleague. A high NPS score indicates customer loyalty and satisfaction.
- Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT): This metric asks customers how satisfied they are with a specific interaction with your company.
- Customer Effort Score (CES): This metric asks customers how much effort it took to resolve an issue or complete a task with your company.
- Product-Market Fit (PMF): This metric helps determine how well your product meets the needs of your target market.
All utilize Likert scale questions which are easy to understand, easy to implement and provide quantifiable data. Respondents are asked to indicate their attitude, opinion, or behavior according to a predetermined range or rating scale. The options may be in words, such as Horrible, Not so Horrible, Neutral, Kind of Interesting, The Best, or numeric, such as a 5, 7, or 10 point scale where the lowest number indicates disagreement and the highest agreement.
What are the Elements for Survey Satisfaction?
Each of the customer satisfaction methodologies requires three elements for success:
- Ease of implementation
- Ease of employee engagement and participation
