One of the key business values of AskNicely is the ability to identify your happiest customers and turn them into advocates by driving them to your referral program.

Are you measuring Customer Effort Score? First introduced in 2010, Customer Effort Score (CES) is a fairly new contact center metric. Together with the “tried, trusted and true” Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) it helps you to measure just how happy your customers really are. NPS focuses on long-term happiness, whereas CSAT zeroes is on one particular interaction (usually a recent one).

RyanAir, Europe’s largest airline, in my view are the epitome of a poor Customer Experience. Over the last few days, they have proven this yet again as the airline has begun cancelling hundreds of flights. Hapless travelers are stranded in far-flung cities or stuck at home when they expected to be on holiday. Ryanair announced last Friday that it would cancel 40-50 flights per day for the next six weeks.

A failure of communication can cause projects to fail, increase costs, and can contribute to an atmosphere of discontent among your staff. For so many businesses, the drive to develop an effective feedback loop only comes after a failure has made the need for change obvious.
