The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures how customers feel about a company, brand, product or service. The initial research in 2003 that led to the NPS metric asked customers a series of questions designed to elicit their feelings about the company. The researchers, Fred Reichheld of Bain & Company in collaboration with the company Satmetri, wanted to find a question that would correlate with real-world customer behaviors. For instance, for a company to grow, it needs customers who recommend the company to others; customers who become repeat buyers; customers who don’t constantly shop around for the best price. The researchers tested many questions with customers, trying to find the one question that would identify those most desirable and engaged customers.

Knowing how to gather and use customer feedback is what can eventually turn a small business into a multinational corporation, and there are statistics to prove it. Customer feedback can have the similar impact on the auxiliary services on college campuses as well. As we all know, loyal customers can grow a business much faster than regular sales or marketing can. It is because it’s 5 to 25 times more costly to acquire a new customer than to keep an already-existing one happy. Secondly, the no.1 source of new leads is customer referrals. And lastly, loyal customers purchase 90% more and spend 60% more than new customers.
While these statistics don’t mean that you shouldn’t be trying to get new customers, they do, however, reinforce that keeping your existing customers and students happy makes good business sense. And to do that, you will need to center your entire business strategy on customer feedback.
So, here is the most efficient way to build a long-term strategy around customer feedback.

The Customer Effort Score (CES) is a metric that quantifies customer loyalty. It measures how much effort a customer has to expend to obtain an answer or solution to a problem. The CES metric is used in two ways. The first asks how much personal effort the customer expended to resolve his or her issue. It’s often reported on a scale of one to five, where one refers to the least effort and five the most. Using this format, you want as low a number as possible.
The second format of the CES metric asks customers to agree or disagree with a statement that solving the problem took little effort. In this format, customers who choose five “Strongly Agree” that it took little effort, while those who choose one “Strongly Disagree.” Here, your goal is to achieve the highest number possible.
