Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) Surveys

CSAT surveys are a quick and effective way to measure customer satisfaction with a specific interaction, product, or service. We design targeted surveys to capture real-time feedback and identify areas where your brand is excelling or falling short. By tracking CSAT scores over time, you can measure the impact of your customer experience initiatives.

Approach:

We design targeted CSAT surveys tailored to specific touchpoints in the customer journey. This could be a post-purchase survey, a follow-up after a service interaction, or a feedback request after using a new website feature. We keep surveys concise and easy to complete, ensuring a high response rate.

Benefits:

• Benchmark customer loyalty: Compare your NPS score against industry benchmarks to understand your relative performance.

• Identify promoters and detractors: Focus your efforts on nurturing promoters and addressing concerns of detractors.

• Uncover actionable insights: Utilize open-ended feedback to identify areas for improvement and prioritize strategic initiatives.

Net Promoter Score (NPS)

NPS is a customer loyalty metric that asks a single core question: "On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend our brand to a friend or colleague?" We analyze responses and categorize customers as Promoters (highly likely to recommend), Passives (neutral), or Detractors (likely to discourage others). Your NPS score provides a valuable benchmark for customer loyalty and helps you identify areas to improve the customer journey.

Approach:

We conduct NPS surveys at regular intervals to track customer sentiment over time. We analyze responses and categorize customers as Promoters (highly likely to recommend), Passives (neutral), and Detractors (likely to discourage others). We also ask for open-ended feedback to understand the reasons behind customer ratings.

Benefits:

• Improve customer experience: Identify and address friction points that hinder customer progress.

• Increase customer satisfaction: Reduce effort required for tasks, leading to a more positive customer experience.

• Boost operational efficiency: Streamline processes and reduce customer support inquiries.

Customer Effort Score (CES)

CES measures the ease and efficiency of customer interactions with your brand. We design surveys that ask customers to rate the effort required to complete specific tasks, such as making a purchase, resolving an issue, or using your website. A low CES score indicates a smooth and effortless customer experience, while a high CES score suggests areas where you can simplify processes and reduce customer effort.

Approach:

We design CES surveys that ask customers to rate the effort required to complete specific tasks on a scale (e.g., very difficult, easy). We may also conduct user testing sessions to observe customer interactions and identify pain points.

Benefits:

• Gain real-time customer insights: Uncover emerging trends and customer sentiment before they become widespread issues.

• Identify brand perception: Understand how your brand is perceived online and identify areas to improve brand image.

• Respond to customer feedback: Address customer concerns promptly and demonstrate your commitment to customer satisfaction.

Social Listening & Online Reviews Analysis

We leverage social listening tools and techniques to monitor online conversations about your brand. This allows us to analyze customer sentiment, identify emerging trends, and understand how your brand is perceived online. Additionally, we analyze online reviews to gather in-depth customer feedback and identify areas for improvement.

Approach:

We utilize advanced social listening tools to monitor online brand mentions across social media platforms and review sites. We analyze sentiment, identify key themes, and track brand perception over time. Additionally, we conduct in-depth analysis of online reviews to categorize feedback and identify recurring customer concerns.
