How to Evaluate Customer Experience

Knowing how to measure customer experience is one thing, evaluating but analysing the data is the crucial next step.

You could collate huge amounts of data and still have no idea where to begin – focusing on the right aspects is a skill. Our approach at Ventrica is to help our clients utilise CX software we develop, customer experience survey tools and more to make data evaluation simple.

Use Analytics to Execute a Successful Strategy

The analytics used to understand the data can be achieved through many approaches, for example, metrics such as:

• Net Promoter Score (NPS) – discover if your customers will be brand advocates
• Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) – determine if your customers are satisfied with their experience for a specific process
• Customer Effort Score (CES) – helps evaluate how easy a customer can achieve their goals

Using these metrics along with web analytics will also open the door to specific measurements for your website, showing how your business can make customer journeys seamless. Doing so can reduce the need for a customer to speak to an advisor or interact with a chatbot or enquiry form.

The number of brands who improved their CX in 2020 increased by 13% on 2019, with this expected to grow further throughout 2021³.

Looking at the bigger picture will identify where the biggest issues are in the customer experience and help your company make positive changes to address every pain point.
