Customer loyalty and retention are at the top of the list when it comes to contact center goals. But driving loyalty and retention takes more than just measuring the customer satisfaction score (CSAT) or the net promotor score (NPS) and calling it a day. There are a lot of other indicators that impact customer loyalty and overlooking them can lead to missing the mark on customer experience.

If you have been following my work, you may remember something I refer to as The Loyalty Question. It goes like this: What am I doing right now to make sure the customer comes back the next time they need whatever it is we sell? Most people think customer loyalty is about a lifetime. That’s a pretty big goal—making a customer stay for a lifetime. But if you break it down into smaller parts—as in the next time —it becomes much easier.
