Customer Satisfaction Analysis

Two key factors drive effective, actionable customer satisfaction analysis:

  1. Market-specific satisfaction measurement

    Drivers of customer satisfaction and retention vary by product, industry sector, and market segment. Measuring generic drivers provides generic results. Actionable satisfaction analysis requires a targeted understanding of multiple factors that drive customer retention in a specific marketplace and product set.

  2. Competitive benchmarking

    Most companies measure themselves against their own past performance, ignoring how they compare to their peers, competitors, and external market conditions. Like a control group in scientific research, benchmarking clarifies the effect of internal business strategies and management practices, and helps establish realistic performance goals and management objectives.
