What benefits will my business see by measuring customer satisfaction?

Knowing how to measure customer satisfaction is critical for businesses. Why? Customer satisfaction rates impact your bottom line. These rates influence your reputation, repeat business, online ratings, and your ability to attract top talent.

Happy customers are repeat customers. When your clients are satisfied, they are much more likely to return and refer others. Learning how your customers feel about your service is essential. A smart way to gauge satisfaction is by sending an after-service rating request via email, push notification, or SMS. This gives you real-time insights into how your customers feel and helps you keep your finger on the pulse of your service quality.

What 5 metrics should I be tracking?

1. Online Reviews

It may seem obvious, but online reviews are a direct window into your customer’s experience. If engagement or ratings drop, it could mean your team is no longer delighting customers. Use this drop-off as a signal to audit your processes. Ask yourself: are we offering just an OK experience or truly outstanding service?

2. Net Promoter Score (NPS)

NPS is a widely used metric that ranges from -100 to 100. It measures how likely your customers are to recommend your business to others. NPS can highlight areas for improvement or serve as a strong marketing point if your score is high. If your customers are raving about your services, don’t be afraid to turn that into a tagline or social proof.

3. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

You may be getting new customers, but are they costing you too much? CAC tells you how much you are spending to acquire each new customer. High CAC means it might be time to streamline operations. Tools like automated scheduling or dispatching can lower administrative costs and increase efficiency as you grow.

4. Customer Churn

Churn is the rate at which customers stop doing business with you. A high churn rate is a strong indicator of dissatisfaction. Set a goal for what you consider an acceptable churn rate, compare it to industry benchmarks, and measure it monthly. Use those insights to identify areas needing rapid improvement.

5. Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

CSAT measures whether your service met your customer’s expectations. It is usually gathered through a quick post-service survey. To get a full picture, break it down into specific questions covering job quality, support experience, and overall satisfaction. This lets you isolate what’s working and what isn’t.
