Client Retention & Customer Satisfaction

When times are tough, it is more important than ever that businesses provide the best possible service to their customers to ensure they don’t lose them to competitors. Research has shown that 80% of companies believe they provide a superior client experience but only 8% of their clients agree*.Finding out how our customers feel about us means that not only can we adapt and improve our service and therefore our retention rate, it can also give us the chance to up-sell or cross-sell to a marketing that already knows and trusts us. At Nido we have seen a growing number of companies approaching us to help discover their clients’ perceptions of their service and delivery levels. Finding out weak spots, areas for improvement or what clients really value about them can all help to reduce attrition or defection to competitors. Read Full Article »
