Overview

Customer Satisfaction Surveys (CSAT) can be a great vehicle to gauge customer experience feedback around a recent interaction or service that customers received. CSAT surveys are widely used in the industry by organizations that care about the experience the customers are receiving and to identify any service or quality degradation in service delivery. This ensures that they are fixing and improving any bottlenecks identified via this feedback that prevent customers from having a great experience.

CSAT Surveys is a great tool to gather customer experience feedback for trainings, QBRs and onboarding and identify issues and improve them so customers are having a great experience.

What is CSAT and how is it calculated

A CSAT survey asks users to rate their experience from 1-5 for a recent transaction or service.

1. Users who responded with a score of 4 or 5 are satisfied

2. 

3. Users who respond with scores of 1, 2 or 3 is indicative of dissatisfaction

   1. 

Overall CSAT score = Percentage of (Ratings with 4 or 5 stars / All Ratings)

Average CSAT = Simple average of score across all ratings

Creating a CSAT survey campaign

To create a CSAT campaign follow these steps

1. Create a new Campaign
2. Choose Campaign type "Customer Satisfaction Survey"
3. Choose the segment you want to trigger the CSAT campaigns for
   1. Triggering campaigns post Onboarding
      1. Use a combination of Lifecycle status fields and user account roles to send the Campaign
         • 
   2. Triggering campaigns post activities such as Training or QBR
      • To trigger Campaigns post transactions such as Training and QBR ensure that there is a standardized post event touchpoint that is logged with all the participants and an additional way to uniquely identify this transaction. This could be either a unique Touchpoint Reason "Training" | "QBR" or a unique Successflow.
      • This criteria can be used to trigger a CSAT campaign as shown below

        • 

        • Note:- To enable the touchpoint based user segmenting pictured above please contact support. This feature is not fully GA and will be available on a on demand basis on specific instances
4. Choose an existing CSAT attribute or create a new attribute to store the CSAT responses. Creation of the CSAT attribute additionally creates the following supporting attributes
   • CSAT Response Date - Date the user responded
   • CSAT Comment - Feedback comment provided by the user
   • Low CSAT Reason - Configurable list of reasons for dissatisfaction
   • High CSAT Reason - Configurable list of reasons for satisfaction
   • 
5. Customize the messaging for the CSAT campaign including the various questions. You also have the opportunity to localize the messages if you are creating a campaign in a different language
   • 
6. Schedule the campaign as an Ongoing campaign so when the criteria is met, the campaign sends the CSAT survey. For QBR's and Training activities where the likelihood of meeting the same participants and asking for feedback is common, we have enhanced the Ongoing campaign type to support targeting the same users after a certain number of days.
   • 
7. Once the campaign is scheduled the system will send the CSAT survey every time a touchpoint is logged with the right criteria

Viewing the CSAT survey responses

 The CSAT responses can be viewed in several ways.
