Top 5 Ways Customer Satisfaction Drives your Business

customer satisfaction

“If you build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful”- Jeff Bezos

Lesson 1: No business, should ever ignore the importance of customer satisfaction.

In a business or an organization, there are many factors, internal and external that contribute to its success (or failure). But satisfied customers are the most important factor that majorly contributes to the success of a business. It is essential to pay extra attention to this factor and work endlessly on improving it.

LEARN ABOUT: Time to Value

A satisfied customer is most certainly a loyal customer. A loyal customer is a returning customer and a loyal customer is your brand ambassador. It’s simple math, if you don’t care about your customers, your customers won’t care about your product or services.

How customer satisfaction increases business revenue

1. A loyal customer is a treasure, know their value

According to a study conducted, loyal customers are worth up to 8 times valuable than the first-timers. When we talk in terms of financial achievements, retaining a loyal customer is an asset rather than building new ones as acquiring new customers is 6-7 times a more expensive task. It’s not just about the money, it’s also about the customer lifecycle. To convert a new customer into a loyal one is a long and a tedious process. So focus better on your customer service and keep improving it with time.

LEARN ABOUT: Customer Lifecycle

2. It’s not about the price, it’s about the service

Most businesses are tempted to think, the main reason for customer churn is the high prices of their products or services. This, however, is not true. According to a study conducted by Accenture, most customers fall out because of poor customer service. A satisfied customer is the one who can vouch for your good service. This is the “mantra” of most successful businesses across the globe.

3. It helps you stand out in the competition

Providing poor customer service will not make your customers happy but your competitors will love you! Your business rivals are just waiting for you to commit that one mistake, that is going to cost your business dearly and that is acquiring your customers. On the contrary, if you provide brilliant customer service then you not only retain your customers and help them become loyal to brand but also shut down critics.

4. Reduces negative word of mouth

A study proves, a happy customer tells about their experience to 9-10 people and an unhappy customer talks to minimum 20 people about the poor experience he/she has had with the brand (product or service).Customer satisfaction is directly linked to revenue and repeat purchases. It’s still acceptable to lose one or two customers, but losing 20 customers because someone has a bad opinion about the services is certainly not acceptable. So word of mouth is very powerful!

5. You can lose your customer in the blink of an eye

It’s no rocket science, nowadays clients easily switch their loved brands. The only reason for this is horrible customer service. Not many businesses measure customer satisfaction isn’t built in a day. It takes on an average 12 positive experiences to make up for one unresolved bad customer experience. So don’t lose your customers, make sure you make their customer journey a happy and satisfied one.

What is the correlation between business revenue and customer satisfaction?

A direct correlation exists between client satisfaction and increased business revenue. According to recent research by Forrester, for some industries, organizations can boost their revenue by up to $1 billion annually through improved client satisfaction. This is applicable to smaller brands as well at smaller scales. The secret is to identify the most important elements impacting client satisfaction and using them to define and refine your customer strategies.

Identify CSAT elements

When making a purchase, individuals or businesses, always look for certain attributes. For some, it could be product quality, whereas for some it could be longevity or style. Conduct research to identify these elements that matter the most to your clients so that you can serve them right. If they get what they want and like, they will return to you for future business.

Conduct client surveys

Using online client surveys is an excellent way to identify the elements that customers consider the most for a purchase decision. Your clients are more than happy to provide their feedback if you seek it. Design your surveys considering your research focus; have open-ended questions to get deeper insights. When you have compiled a list of these elements, you can always ask them to rate them to gauge the importance, priority, and revamp your strategies accordingly.

Implement CSAT strategies

Devising and implementing strategies around the CSAT elements is a great way to boost revenue. Let customer happiness and client service be as important as profits. Make it part of your organizational culture and goals. Try various strategies and approaches such as free consultations, customizations, early trials, etc. to elevate customer experience and satisfaction. Plan your marketing campaigns and promotional activities around important customer attributes for maximum success.

Launch initiatives

Consider launching initiatives such as customer loyalty programs to increase business revenue. These programs are designed to reward customers based on purchasing frequency and volumes. The rewards get bigger with more spending. A brand ambassador program like this is more likely to work when it revolves around benefits that are catered towards the needs of your customers.

Final thought

Your brand can always strive to get better, just believe in one simple lesson, take your customers seriously, because they are the ones who will take your brand to the top!
