Discover how companies measure their customers' level of satisfaction and understand the direct correlation between this indicator and their overall financial performance over time.



Here in the US, companies are increasingly going the route of many metrics to start measuring the value of every interaction. The most common for customer experience ROI is the simple ratio of net profit on the cost of the experience initiative. It is a measure of how much net profit the experience initiative yielded over the cost to implement.



The components of customer experience ROI are varied. Most especially, it is reflected in higher retention rates. Research regularly demonstrates that keeping an existing customer is much less expensive than bringing in a new one. In addition, a positive experience tends to increase lifetime value (LTV), since satisfied customers are more inclined to try additional service levels or make repeat purchases.



It also includes savings in acquisition costs due to natural word-of-mouth referrals. A consistently excellent experience results in customers becoming brand advocates for the organization and bringing down typical acquisition marketing costs. Well-optimized experiences also require less operational support in the back office and through manual processes, further extending ROI calculations. Knowing the customer experience ROI through analysis of the KPIs points senior leadership towards investing in service aspects that make a difference in the bottom line.
