Positive online reviews from customers help small businesses stand out, and generally give business owners a feel good factor. But a recent survey released by online services marketplace, ServiceSeeking, reveals just how badly negative reviews sting.

Customer feedback has become increasingly important as time progressed. The days of customer complaints or praise remaining in-house are long gone. Thanks to the ubiquity of the web, it is easy for customers to make others aware of their experiences and opinions. In particular, customer feedback has become essential to managed services marketing. Take advantage of customer feedback and it will be that much easier to convince prospective clients to pay for your services.

Customer feedback plays an essential role within organizations, allowing you to obtain invaluable customer data and adapt the delivery of your customer experience accordingly.
Today, almost all companies are conducting customer feedback surveys in order to gain a better understanding of how their customers view their business, products, and services, as often the customer journey as a whole. But the fact is that the CX feedback you’re basing key decisions on, could well be misleading, inaccurate, incomplete, or just plain wrong. It’s not that your customers are lying to you or not ‘coming clean’, rather, the feedback you do get is not giving you the complete picture.

So higher star ratings can drive new customers — that seems pretty obvious on the surface. But the impact of feedback on existing customers has been less well understood until now. In a recent study of tens of thousands of individual customer satisfaction ratings captured on our platform following a verified transaction, we found that customers who provide private feedback have a 1.5 times higher lifetime value and that — unsurprisingly — consumers with two consecutive negative experiences reduce their visit frequency by 45 percent.

When it comes to brand loyalty, customers punish companies that fail to live up to their promise, but reward companies that deliver the best experience. Increased effort – whether that means waiting on the phone for over an hour, explaining a problem to multiple agents, or failing to resolve an issue independently – frustrates customers and encourages them to find alternative options. The amount of effort customers exert as they interact with a company’s products and services is therefore a crucial driver of overall satisfaction and loyalty. In addition to being a strong predictor of loyalty, effort can also reveal pain points within a customer’s journey, even if overall sentiment towards the brand is positive. For companies looking to reduce customer churn and improve overall experience, measuring effort cannot be overlooked. In fact, a Gartner study suggests that customers are four times more likely to become disloyal to a brand after an effortful experience with customer service.

If you are not focused on receiving and using customer feedback, you are missing out on an amazing growth tool. Gathering feedback throughout the entire customer journey is of great importance to the buyer life cycle, marketing campaigns and the entire customer experience. Integrating your CRM and customer feedback could be the secret to your success.
According to a recent study, 86 percent of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. And by 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. How do you get the best experience? By listening to the customer, of course.

Many businesses track metrics like customer acquisition cost, time on site, conversion rates, and bounce rates. However, these metrics fall short when you’re trying to understand customers’ experience with your business and how its performance relates to their expectations. And if you fail to meet their expectations, their likelihood of staying with the business goes down and their lifetime value declines.
