Sa#sfac#on & Digital Metrics Quan#fy the Online


Metric 4 – Customer Sa1sfac1on Customer Sa#sfac#on Measured by Asking


CSAT is not the same as awareness and is more closely related to loyalty – loyalty feeds awareness in the behavioral impact model



Brands have established customer bases and these customers have experiences with the product/service that defines their percep#on of the brand


For example, a major automaker measured CSAT and brand purchase intent finding a one-‐to-‐one connec#on between CSAT and repurchase inten#on


Customers who had problems with a par#cular car brand were more sa#sfied and had a higher repurchase intent than those who did not have any problems at all.


Why?


Excellent customer service if there was a problem with the new car measurably changed percep#on posi#vely toward the brand


Therefore, customer sa#sfac#on is the “golden” marke#ng metric that bridges both loyalty and brand awareness – and can be used as a leading indicator of future sales


So how do we measure it?


On a scale of 1 to 10, would you recommend this product/service to a friend or colleague?


In a customer service environment, only the people who answer 9 or 10 maUer, everyone doesn’t


So here is my ques#on to you –

What product or service would you recommend to a friend?


“Would you recommend to a friend?” is the essen#al ques#on to define sa#sfied customers


But does that maUer to us – how many people would recommend us?


Fred Reichheld used this ques#on to define another essen#al marke#ng metric known as – The Net Promoter Score


The Net Promoter Score is a beUer metric for customer service because it is more accurate


To get the Net Promoter Score – we subtract the average number of detractors (score 0 – 6) from the number of promoters (9 – 10).


The difference is one word in the ques#on – recommend becomes sa#sfied


Why is this a beUer metric?


For ac#onable metrics, it is beUer to ask a few simple ques#ons that focus the consumer’s aUen#on


The ul#mate for a marketer is when your customers are so excited about your products/services that they recommend to friends or colleagues


Customer evangelists and fans demonstrate their emo#onal connec#on to your brand, so they become the marke#ng department – everywhere! Their passion adds authen#city!


A customer’s recommenda#on is the best compliment your customer can ever give your brand


But customer sa#sfac#on is a double-‐edged sword – ask this ques#on instead


What product/service would you not recommend to a friend?


This ques#on can elicit a strong response – simple maintenance issues, incorrect billing, and terrible customer service


When people talk more about bad experiences – customer sa#sfac#on declines decreasing future sales and damaging the brand


We call this metric the golden marke1ng metric because it links brand and loyalty in the behavioral impact model
