Customer Satisfaction
Net Promoter Score®
Voice of the Customer

Your company's success is based on a satisfied customer who is a loyal advocate for your products and services.  

We design Voice of the Customer (VOC) Customer Satisfaction research programs to capture the customer's true experience and to understand either the extent of their loyalty or their defection likelihood.

Our programs highlight strengths, weaknesses and threats to your customer's loyalty. Key drivers of satisfaction are identified and improvement initiatives are recommended and implemented to favorably impact service and retention.

Net Promoter Score® (NPS) methodologies are also used to provide a comparative assessment of service provided. Introduced in 2003 by Satmetrix, Bain & Company, and Fred Reichheld, the NPS is promoted as being “the single most reliable indicator of a company’s ability to grow.”

The benefit of using the NPS includes:

  • Ability to track one number as an indicator of customer loyalty and satisfaction
  • Easy to disseminate an understandable score throughout an organization
  • Provides a measure of the effectiveness of company initiatives
  • Enables customers to complete a brief survey that is respectful of their time
