Understanding What Metrics Are

Proxies for Customer Experience Metrics Don’t Work

Net Promoter

• Lacks precision, predictability; discards relevant data

Expert Opinion / Research Analysts

• Sample sizes often small, not projectable, not seen through

customers’ eyes

Customer Ratings

• “Popularity contests” are not metrics

Correlation vs. Causation

Correlation:Relationship between two variables

Causation:Relationship between two events• Event 1: The cause• Event 2: The effect - a direct consequence of the first

Top 5 Takeaways

You cannot manage what you do not measure.

The consumer is multi-channel with unprecedented power.

Measure success from the customers’ perspective – not the organization’s.

Customer satisfaction drives conversion, loyalty, retention and word-of-mouth … and financial success.

To be successful you must do 2 things: satisfy your customer and be fiscally responsible.
