The world of customer satisfaction (CSAT) measurement has evolved over the past 10 years, largely spurred on by technology. It’s evolved from:
- point-in-time to real-time,
- anonymous to linked,
- brick-and-mortar to multi-channel, and
- available to key players to actionable across the whole organization.
Each of these technological evolutions has benefited the two main stakeholders. First, the company that needs the data to learn and improve and, second, the customers who need to know that a company genuinely cares about them. Let’s consider the needs of both the company and the customer on the way to building a great CSAT program.

Over 150 customer experience professionals completed a PeopleMetrics online assessment about the presence, or absence, of customer-centric practices in their organizations. In our blog, we commented on the slow progress revealed by the trends in this data, with few disciplines improving over time.
However, one exception to this stagnation in activities exists: the practice of customer journey mapping. On average, in 2014, one-third of participants (32%) said that their organization had practiced customer journey mapping as part of their customer experience improvement efforts. So far in 2015, the proportion of practitioners who say they are familiar with journey mapping has increased to nearly half (48%). That's a 50% growth in this activity in just a few short months.

It has become all too common for B2B SaaS companies to survey their customers once a year through a moment-in-time customer relationship survey, with at least one section addressing the ultimate question of Net Promoter Score (NPS).
Assuming the results are positive, the company then proudly presents their board with the survey results compared to industry benchmarks and proceeds with the board meeting. “Let’s move on to how many new customers you acquired” is likely the next agenda item.

An apology and empathy that stretches beyond the first few seconds of an interaction with an angry or upset customer can reduce customer satisfaction. That’s the finding of new research led by Jagdip Singh of Case Western Reserve University. Too much empathy when complaint handling can negatively tip the balance on what customers perceive as effective service recovery.

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.

While the internet has opened up new markets for businesses around the world, it has also allowed competition from companies globally. In the 21st century, many companies are facing hordes of competition in almost every market.
This level of competition has increasingly led companies to research for new ways to get customers while retaining their existing customer base as well. Customers, being more informed than ever due to technology, now expect a certain level of customer service at all times. They assume that your team will have an up to date CRM system and that you will have the tools in place to not only respond to their concerns quickly but also address their issues.
