From Instant Client Feedback to Business Improvement

Positive customer experience consists of many factors and in the case of companies with field service, personal contact with the field staff is one of the most important moments. Mostly it is the only personal contact between the customer and the company and thus the impression that the technician or over-the-counter crew leaves on the customer remains as the customer´s impression of the whole company. So obviously, for these companies, it is crucial to be aware of “what´s going on in the field”.

There are simple CRM tools that collect feedback by scaling the customer´s impression from “poor” to “excellent”. They are easy to use but do not give the real answers – which part of the service was excellent or why the impression was poor. Yet building on the good qualities of the field service staff and revealing the weak
ones is a very easy way how to keep the customer happy. And a happy customer means more profit.

Did you know?

  • Personal contact with field staff creates 80% of the total customer experience, yet most companies do not have direct control over it.
  • The negative news spread out twice as fast as the positive ones.
  • Gaining a new customer is 7-8x more expensive than keeping the current one.
  • Increasing the NPS by 7 points leads to increasing the company’s turnover by 1% on average.
