Every executive serious about growing their business also must be serious about understanding what is really happening when it comes to the perception and behavior of customers. Customer Experience, or CX, continues to permeate discussions among leadership teams, service teams, product and marketing teams, and board members as it becomes increasingly clear that winning today is as much about how customers feel about a brand’s offering as the offering itself.
An entire industry has grown up around the measurement of customer satisfaction (CSAT). It arrived on the scene a few decades ago, even before the internet drove customers online, where interactions could be scored based on what customers and prospects did that would lead to a sale -- or no sale.

Researchers across countless organizations utilize online surveys to get actionable data, consumer feedback, employee opinions, or identify trends.
While there are countless use cases for conducting online surveys, it takes some skill to cajole a survey response rate that is statistically significant, representative of the sample, and unbiased.
While survey research is becoming more central to many organizations’ operations, the industry has simultaneously been experiencing a decline in survey response rates – for quite some time. This has been a long-running puzzle that dedicated survey programmers have been trying to crack with various tactics.

NPS, CES, and CSAT are customer loyalty metrics. They’re used to measure the level of loyalty that a customer has toward your brand. Customers are considered loyal when they consistently purchase from your brand over an extended period of time.
How do you get loyal customers? A great customer experience (CX), of course.
In recent years, research by CustomerThink, Forrester, and Gartner have found at least 70% of business leaders believe CX will help their companies differentiate in a world where products and services are increasingly commoditized, and competing based mainly on price is not a viable long-term strategy.
An indisputable key component of a customer experience strategy is the Voice of the Customer (VoC) program, also known as customer voice. It captures, analyzes and reports on all customer feedback—expectations, likes, and dislikes—associated with your company.
In your VoC program, there are two types of customer data that you should collect: structured data and unstructured data. Today, we’ll discuss the three most popular customer loyalty metrics that fall under the structured category—NPS, CES, and CSAT—and the role that each should play in your CX strategy.

Whether your company is a global brand with millions of fans or a tiny startup with a handful of customers, one thing remains true: Great marketing starts with understanding and empathizing with your customer. It’s the best way to build trust. Gain their trust first, then you’ll earn the opportunity to explain how your product or service solves problems for them.
From our research we know that 63 percent of consumers think marketers are selling them things they don’t need. That tells me that we, as marketers, are breaking this cardinal rule of marketing. We aren't listening.
I recently spoke at the 2019 SaaStr Annual conference about how we need to lean into customer feedback more than we ever have before -- and how using surveys to listen to your customers can create rabid fans for your brand. I’ve translated some of that talk below to show how easy and effective it can be to use customer feedback to accelerate startup growth.

There are a variety of different ways to collect customer feedback, and surveys are usually the first method that comes to mind.
But that's not the only way to figure out what your customers are saying about your product -- in fact, you could be missing out on valuable customer feedback coming in through a different channel: social media.

Customer service surveys allow you to take a peek into your customers’ minds. You can learn about their problems, needs and do something about them. It’s your very own customer service magic. But instead of a crystal ball, you need a few, well worded customer service survey questions.
Without some form of a survey for your customers, you are forced to guess and make estimates when it comes to your customers’ satisfaction. And going only by your gut when making business decisions is not the most reliable option.
Start making more informed business decisions by collecting customer feedback. See what customer service survey questions you should ask and how you should do it to get the best results.

It's no secret that an angry customer is a problem for all retail organizations. Not only is the individual unlikely to shop with you in the future, but when you add word-of-mouth to the equation, one person's negative experience can be easily amplified.
With traditional word-of-mouth reaching around 12 people, online and social networking word-of-mouth reaches a massive 69 times that, averaging around 825 people. To alleviate customer dissatisfaction, many successful businesses immediately look at their customer experience program — a logical approach in theory. After all, a CX program ensures regular surveying and internal alignment on the customer journey. So all of your customers will be happy, right? Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
