You’ve got your feedback, but what does it really mean? More often than not, an organisation will analyse customer feedback, pick the most common denominator and seek to fix the problem quickly. If this is you, unfortunately, you are doing it wrong.
Implementing the insight from research into your Customer Experience strategy and acting accordingly is a different story. Just because your satisfaction levels have fallen may not be due to a faulty product as first predicted – you might need to look a bit deeper to discover that actually, the customer service hasn’t been satisfactory or the website is too confusing when purchasing items.
Whatever it may be, the common denominator doesn’t always mean it’s right. So, the data is in front of you, but what next?

As a result of their experience today, how likely do I think it is that my customer will come back?
The key to this question is answering it with complete, sincere honesty. It relies on the person answering it to have actually put themselves in the shoes of their customer so they are able to answer the question with complete honesty. If you wanted to ‘test’ the principle, asking the same question to your customer (independently of the employee) would be fascinating.
