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.

An apology and empathy that stretches beyond the first few seconds of an interaction with an angry or upset customer can reduce customer satisfaction.

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.

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.

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.

Gathering quality feedback and closing the loop is essential to any company that cares about the constant improvement of its products and meeting customer satisfaction.
In fact, if created mindfully and carefully, feedback can become a valuable tool that will be a vector for favorable changes for a business. You can't always tell what customers think from your interaction with them. Asking for users’ opinions is important because by doing so, you can reduce customer churn.
