“Codleo has a CSAT score of 4.9/5” – Quote by the Managing Director of Codleo Consulting.
With half the clients stating bad service experiences as a top reason for opting for alternate brands, it’s important to get clarity on how clients feel about your business. As some of us already know, customer satisfaction score (CSAT) is a good performance indicator among service professionals, with over 70% of companies relying on it to measure success. However, measuring CSAT — let alone improving it — is not a piece of cake. In our blog of today, we explore the various facets of CSAT.
A customer satisfaction score is akin to a summarized report card of a company, with clients judging and ranking our performance. The scores are usually received via surveys that ask clients to score products or services on a numeric scale. CSAT is an important measurement of client satisfaction. Delighted clients are happy to refer clients and talk positively on social media while unhappy clients can drag a company down. To measure client satisfaction properly, businesses may conduct surveys via any channel — such as email, SMS, or social media. Following an engagement or a sale, ask simple questions such as, “How happy are you with our goods or service?” or “How do you feel about the service you received?” Ideally, CSAT scores are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 symbolizing the highest level of satisfaction.
Ideally, a score above 70% is judged to be a decent client satisfaction score, while a bad score is 50% or less. The average CSAT score across different domains is 75%, but it can differ based on industry, goods, service, and client base.
Pros of CSAT score:
-
CSAT surveys are brief and simple.
-
CSAT surveys reveal where things are going right or wrong.
-
Using CSAT scores combined with NPS and CES reveals a detailed picture of client sentiment & loyalty.
-
Monitoring CSAT scores reveals client trends that may not show up in individual survey responses alone.
-
Comparing your own performance against industry standards can provide a benchmark for measuring your success or failure in terms of customer satisfaction.
