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.

There are many places you can go wrong in constructing and delivering a customer satisfaction survey that can keep you from getting an accurate picture of your customer experience. And most companies do go wrong in their survey design and delivery–often in multiple ways. (Alarming but true: If you send out a defective survey, it might be worse than not surveying your customers in the first place, because of the risk that the data you get back will be invalid but nonetheless used to guide company strategy.)

Achieving and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction is important for a business to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Your customers’ perceptions of your company or brand affect your reputation and your revenue. Interactions with service desk agents have a direct impact on a number of issues—lifetime customer value, loyalty, profitability and more—and for that reason measurement of customer satisfaction is essential.
But how do you measure “satisfaction?” One person may be satisfied with the service received while another is dissatisfied. Our judgments of what an agent did do or should have done is an arbitrary, cognitive judgment that varies from one person to another.
