Improving customer satisfaction

Customers have a major influence on the performance of your organization. Dissatisfied customers leave you and satisfied customers help your business grow. Provided you continue to focus on improving customer satisfaction. A common mistake is to stop improving customer satisfaction when it has been shown to be sufficient.

Examples customer satisfaction

A customer satisfaction research is different for every company and can consist of one or more survey types. Such as, for example, the use of questionnaires, mystery guests or feedback software, such as our Liveshopper or Feedbox.

But you are probably looking for a number of sample questions to get an idea of what such an investigation will look like. Below you will find an indication of one of our options in which we use questionnaires, among other things.

Sample questions in customer satisfaction research

How satisfied are you with our X brand?
How important is property X when deciding to buy?
Would you buy something from brand X again?

If you start with a customer satisfaction survey, it always costs energy, time and money. That's why it's better to get it right the first time.

Curious about what the wishes and experiences of your customers really are? You do this through the use of qualitative customer satisfaction surveys.

5 components in customer satisfaction research

It is very important to know your customer and what is important to them. Not every aspect is as important than another, it is important to find the key components. At HS Brands we roughly use 5 components on which customer satisfaction is measured:

Reliability
Certainty

Responsiveness
Empathy

What is really important to your customer?

In a qualitative customer satisfaction research, it is important to look at their importance in addition to satisfaction with these components. Both for the customer and for your company.

Because how important is, for example, empathy to your clients? If the research shows that little importance is attached to this component, it is also not a problem if the score is lower on this part. This, ofcourse, also works the other way around.

The key to success

Continuing to innovate and improve is the key to success. The most successful organizations know exactly what their customers' needs are. By conducting qualitative customer satisfaction research, they found this out and it gave them an preferred position over their competitors. Customer satisfaction surveys should therefore be conducted regularly (often annually or semi-annually). The wishes and needs of customers can change very quickly. By measuring regularly, changes in satisfaction can be responded to in time. Other than that, we could measure whether the improvements in the past have led to the desired effect.
