Customer Effort Score (CES) is a metric used to evaluate the effort customers need to make to receive service from a business. It measures the level of ease or difficulty a customer experiences when interacting with a company, especially during the resolution of issues.
Here are some tips on measuring CES for your business:
- Use a CES survey: A CES survey usually involves asking customers a single question: “How easy was it to get the help you wanted today?” and providing response options from “very easy” to “very difficult.”
- Identify the root cause: After analyzing the CES survey results, identify the underlying causes of customer effort. Understanding these causes will help you develop strategies to reduce customer effort and improve the overall customer experience.
- Make improvements based on the results: Use the feedback gathered from the CES survey to make necessary improvements in your business processes, policies, and customer service interactions.
- Monitor the results: Continue to measure CES periodically to ensure the effectiveness of the improvements made and to identify new areas for improvement.
Measuring CES is crucial for businesses as it helps them identify opportunities to improve the customer experience, reduce churn, and increase customer loyalty. By reducing customer effort, businesses can not only improve customer satisfaction but also reduce costs associated with repeat contacts and complaints.
