Whether they realize it or not, consumers expect value across the customer journey. They want to feel like brands are listening to their needs and their desires. They don\u2019t just want goods and services &#8211; they want winning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer loyalty is now earned by delivering memorable experiences and forging genuine connections. Studies show that customer experience drives over <a href=\"https:\/\/emtemp.gcom.cloud\/ngw\/globalassets\/en\/marketing\/documents\/creating-a-high-impact-customer-experience-strategy-gartner-for-marketers-11-22-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">two-thirds of customer loyalty<\/a>,&nbsp; outperforming brand and price combined. Higher loyalty then leads to higher revenues.

To accomplish this goal, managers need to be measuring the performance of all their customer experience initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on just one metric is often not enough to adequately measure the impact of these different initiatives across the entire customer journey. Customer experience is simply too complicated to be captured by a single number.

Net promoter score&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/net-promoter-score-explained\/\">net promoter score<\/a> (NPS), businesses typically start by asking this question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How likely are you to recommend our business on a scale from 0-10?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers are then segmented into three groups based on their answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0-6: Detractors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-8: Passives&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9-10: Promoters&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The score is then calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the pros and cons of net promoter score.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-net-promoter-score\">Pros of Net Promoter Score&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy for customers: <\/strong>When taking a net promoter score survey, all your customers have to do is click the score they most closely agree with. The process is simple and does not require a significant time investment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Identifies potential promoters:<\/strong> When a customer answers with a \u201c9\u201d or a \u201c10\u201d, you will immediately know that they are highly likely to promote your brand. You can then reach out to these customers and ask if they\u2019d be willing to refer your business to friends and social media followers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Higher scores mean more revenue: <\/strong>Studies have shown that higher NPS scores correlate with higher revenue. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Marsden-2005-06-Advocacy-Drives-Growth-Brand-Strategy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">London School of Economics<\/a>, a 7-point increase in NPS correlates with a 1% increase in growth.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-net-promoter-score\">Cons of Net Promoter Score&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Net promoter score lacks context: <\/strong>While net promoter score is a simple number that\u2019s easy to keep track of, it\u2019s meant to measure the customer\u2019s overall relationship with your business. It doesn\u2019t provide insight into what specific touchpoints aren\u2019t meeting <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/5-types-of-customer-expectations\/\">customer expectations<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Net promoter score may be too simple: <\/strong>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbs.edu\/ris\/Publication%20Files\/12-016_a7e4a5a2-03f9-490d-b093-8f951238dba2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">article by the Harvard Business Review<\/a> found that customers\u2019 relationships with brands are often more complicated than a simple number. For example, a customer may love a retailer\u2019s products but at the time be dissatisfied with their customer service.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Net promoter score removes passives from the equation: <\/strong>Since NPS is based on promoters and detractors, passives are simply not included in the final number. However, it\u2019s important to understand why customers who are \u201con the fence\u201d feel this way and what can be done to fix their issues to deliver a truly best-in-class customer experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-customer-satisfaction-score\">2. Customer satisfaction score&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A customer satisfaction score (CSAT) tracks how customers feel about your products and services. Typically, businesses ask a question like this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How would you rate your overall satisfaction with the [product\/good\/service] you just received?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Very unsatisfied&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unsatisfied&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neutral&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Satisfied&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very satisfied&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer satisfaction score is then measured by dividing the number of positive responses by the total number of responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-customer-satisfaction-score\">Pros of customer satisfaction score&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Understand the customer throughout the journey: <\/strong>With a customer satisfaction score, you can see how customers perceive your brand through a variety of different touchpoints. You will then be able to identify and take action on specific problem areas.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy to understand: <\/strong>Just like NPS, CSAT is a simple metric for customers to rate your customer experience. All they have to do is click a button to give you feedback. Your team also has a simple percentage score that they can use to estimate overall satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rating is variable: <\/strong>While businesses typically use the 5-point scale, you can be flexible for your customer base. You can consider using emojis or stars if you find that your customers are more comfortable with them.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-customer-satisfaction-score\">Cons of customer satisfaction score&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cultural differences: <\/strong>Studies have shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/40063010?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">customer satisfaction varies in different cultures<\/a>. Americans are more likely to choose extreme options, while people in Japan are more likely to choose middle-of-the-road options like \u201cSatisfied\u201d or \u201cUnsatisfied\u201d. Keep this in mind if your team is operating internationally.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cSatisfied\u201d is subjective: <\/strong>A rating of \u201c5\u201d on a customer satisfaction survey can mean two different things to two different people.&nbsp; For some customers, being satisfied with a product or service means they had a great experience. For others, it means they just had an \u201cokay\u201d experience.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Does not reflect overall experience: <\/strong>Customer satisfaction score is meant to measure specific touchpoints, but not the customer\u2019s overall relationship with your business. A customer may leave a high satisfaction score after a positive experience with your business but might have a negative view of your brand overall.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-overall-star-rating\">3. Overall star rating&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go on a review site like <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/google-my-business\/\">Google Business Profile<\/a>, you\u2019ll see an overall star rating on a scale from 1-5. While overall star rating helps customers using search determine the quality of your business\u2019s services, it can also be a valuable metric for improving your customer experience.&nbsp;<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-overall-star-rating\">Pros of overall star rating&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy to track: <\/strong>The biggest advantage of overall star rating is that it\u2019s easy to track. If you want to see your star rating on Google, simply do a search for your business\u2019s name.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Star rating correlates with revenue: <\/strong>Just like NPS, higher star ratings mean more revenue. Studies have shown that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbs.edu\/faculty\/Publication%20Files\/12-016_a7e4a5a2-03f9-490d-b093-8f951238dba2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">1-star increase in overall star rating<\/a> leads to a 5-9% increase in revenue.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low ratings can help identify problems in CX: <\/strong>Customers who leave reviews often leave a written description explaining their reasoning for their star rating. If you see the same issues coming up again and again in negative reviews, take note. These might be problem areas that need improvement.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-overall-star-rating\">Cons of overall star rating&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Susceptible to negative reviews: <\/strong>The customers who are most likely to go online to review your business are those who\u2019ve felt that they\u2019ve had a strongly negative experience. As a result, it\u2019s possible that your business\u2019s review rating is skewed downwards. To counteract this and get more balanced feedback, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/soliciting-reviews-facebook-google\/\">solicit reviews<\/a> from all of your customers by sending review request texts and emails after purchases.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Small sample size: <\/strong>Not every business has enough reviews for an overall star rating to be a helpful metric. Again, taking active steps to solicit reviews from customers can help to solve this problem.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maybe skewed by past ratings: Your overall star rating on sites like Google is the average of every review that\u2019s been posted. Unfortunately, that means your star rating may be affected by the <\/strong>experiences of customers in the distant past. It can be helpful to instead look only at reviews posted in the last year.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-review-insights\">4. Review insights&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall star rating can help you understand the customer&#8217;s overall sentiment towards your business. Still, it\u2019s difficult to quantify how well you\u2019re doing in specific categories like \u201ccustomer service\u201d or \u201cwait time\u201d. That\u2019s where a Natural Language Processing engine can help. A platform like Birdeye can analyze your reviews and find areas that customers are mentioning the most. The platform will then grade your performance in these categories in an A-F grading system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-review-insights\">Pros of review insights&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Understand unstructured data: <\/strong>Manually looking through hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-management\/\">online reviews<\/a> for insights is a difficult task. Insights help to automate this process so that your team can identify potential issues with little effort.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get feedback on specific categories: <\/strong>Because customers often mention different areas of the customer experience within reviews, insights can help you identify potential issues and make changes accordingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measure different locations: <\/strong>Multi-location businesses often have trouble measuring CX in individual locations. Review insights show which locations are having the most issues.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-review-insights\">Cons of review insights&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Need a platform with a reliable Natural Language Processing algorithm<\/strong>: To get actionable insights from your online reviews, you\u2019ll need a platform with an NLP engine like Birdeye. Because of the sheer volume of reviews that need to be analyzed, there\u2019s simply no way around this.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sample size: <\/strong>Just like overall star rating, review insights will not be helpful if your sample size is too small. Again, the best way to combat this problem is by actively soliciting reviews from customers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complication: <\/strong>Because review insights give grades on multiple different categories, it\u2019s more complicated than some of the other metrics that we mentioned. While NPS is an easy metric to communicate with other members of your organization, it\u2019s difficult to do this with insights.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-customer-churn-rate\">5. Customer churn rate&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Churn rate is the rate at which customers stop doing business with you in a certain period of time. For example, imagine a business that has 100 existing customers one year, but only 90 of them continue using their services the next year. The business\u2019s churn rate for the year is 10%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-of-customer-churn-rate\">Pros of customer churn rate&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saves money for your business<\/strong>: It\u2019s been estimated that it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2014\/10\/the-value-of-keeping-the-right-customers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">5-25x more expensive<\/a> to attract new customers to your business than to keep your existing ones. As a result, focusing on reducing customer churn can lead to big cost savings.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Identify at-risk customers: <\/strong>By measuring the churn rate and studying the characteristics of customers who leave, you can get a better understanding of which one of your customers is more at risk to stop using your services in the future. You can also develop an action plan to make sure these customers stay on.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understand problems with your business: <\/strong>Digging into the reasons why your customers churn will often help you identify issues with your business operations. For example, you may find that customers who leave your business are upset about customer service.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-customer-churn-rate\">Cons of customer churn rate&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Different customers have different values<\/strong>: While the churn rate treats every lost customer as the same, this isn\u2019t necessarily the case. Losing a customer who was once an active promoter of your brand may hurt your business, in the long run, more than losing a passive customer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong>Reducing churn isn\u2019t always necessary<\/strong>: <\/strong>Some managers are alarmed by any level of churn. While it\u2019s tough to see customers leaving your business, some churn is inevitable. Customers who leave may never have been in your target market in the first place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Churn may be hard to calculate<\/strong>: If you\u2019re working in a business with a subscription model, calculating the churn rate is straightforward. However, for businesses that aren\u2019t using a subscription model, it can be difficult to determine how many customers stayed and left over a certain period of time. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-practices-for-collecting-customer-feedback\">Best practices for collecting customer feedback&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve discussed a few different metrics for measuring your customer experience, let\u2019s break down a few best practices that can help you get a comprehensive view of your business operations (with a couple of examples from Birdeye customers).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-reviews-and-surveys-together\">Use reviews and surveys together&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen that reviews and <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/surveys\/\" href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/surveys\/\">surveys<\/a> together can be great tools for identifying and resolving issues in customer experience. <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/resources\/case-studies\/hillcrest-animal-hospital\/\">Hillcrest Animal Hospital<\/a> uses reviews to find the areas that patients are complaining about most often. The team then uses surveys to collect in-depth feedback and better understand how these issues can be solved.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reply-promptly\">Reply promptly&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every business should aim to <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-to-responding-to-reviews\/\" href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-to-responding-to-reviews\/\">respond to customer feedback<\/a> immediately. <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/positive-review-examples\/\">Positive feedback <\/a>can be handled with a simple \u201cthank you\u201d and an invitation to return to your business. Negative feedback requires a more delicate touch. We recommend that your team takes the conversation to a private communication channel to fix the problem that the customer experienced. We\u2019ve seen that businesses that handle issues in a professional and polite manner often are able to turn these dissatisfied customers into loyal ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-action-on-underperforming-locations\">Take action on underperforming locations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a close eye on your customer feedback to find locations that are underperforming, then take action immediately. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidsbridal.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">David\u2019s B<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidsbridal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">r<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidsbridal.com\/\">idal<\/a> finds a specific location that is underperforming, the team will immediately get in contact with the district manager to find a solution to the issue. They will then set up a meeting with a manager from a high-performing location to discuss possible solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-conclusion\">In conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering fantastic experiences is easier said than done.
