What 5 metrics should I be tracking?

1. Online Reviews.

It may seem obvious, but a simple way to track what your customers are thinking is to stay on top of your online reviews.

For example, if your online engagement has dropped, this could be a sign that your team is no longer delighting your customers. Use the drop-off as an indicator to review your processes. Are your team providing an OK experience or an outstanding experience?

2. NPS- Net Promoter Score.

In a nutshell, NPS is an index that ranges from -100 to 100. It measures your client’s willingness to recommend your services. NPS can do two things for the betterment of your company. Either show where you need to improve your customer experience. Or, if your score is great you can turn this into your business tagline.

3. Customer Acquisition Cost.

You are getting customers, so why does this matter? Your cost per customer can impact your business’s scalability. Often businesses focus on getting customers at all costs. As businesses mature re-evaluating this strategy is key. Can any of your processes, such as dispatch become automated? Reducing your administrative costs per customer and increasing efficiencies at scale.

4. Customer Churn.

Firstly, churn is an indicator of customer dissatisfaction. Knowing why people are leaving is critical for the development of your company. To measure it churn, set a goal for an acceptable churn and compare it to your industry norms. This will gather a churn average to work against. Once an acceptable churn rate has been set you are able to review the rate monthly. The insights will give you places for improvement or changes you should rapidly make.

5. Customer Satisfaction Score.

 Otherwise known as CSAT, measures if your service met your clients’ expectations. By asking customers to assess their experience you gather great business insights. When forming a CSAT survey try splitting questions up into:
-Job Quality
-Customer Support
