Use of Neutral
We do not include neutral scores in our calculation
of percent satisfied, except for the purposes of theSCP audit
"Neutral" is a valid mid-point in our 7-pointresponse set
There is no abnormal use of "NeutralWe welcome the move to raise the bar for SCP
certification on customersatisfaction

Cultural differences?
There are consistent regional differences in results, which
suggest that there is a cultural dynamic at work Reinforced by an analysis of cases originating in US resolved
in EMEA The middle of the range - "Neutral" and the adjacent
categories (Satisfied, Dissatisfied) - is more heavily used by
some cultures/theaters than others

Benchmarks for Support
SSPA in Defining World Class Support Benchmarks & Best
Practices states satisfying at least 95% of customers is anindicator of world-class customer support (includes neutralscores)
Satmetrix research department says 85% customer
satisfaction is world-class (top two boxes on a 7-point scale) not industry specific
Variables: sample size, target audience, questions, statisticalconfidence levels, business models
No standards One solution is to capture comparisons in our own survey
Another is to participate in a comparative survey, such asthat run by Prognostics.

Trends
Increasing use ofanti-spam devices - affects
response rates. A recent survey of PeopleSoftcustomers by a third party estimated that 25% of
invitations were lost (silent undeliverable) due to
such devices
Data Protection & Privacy guidelines will probablyalso impact response rates
