We Will Help You Stay Up-to-Date with the Quality Trends in Your Company

We Provide Tools to Collect Customer Feedback
Our customer feedback platforms help companies collect detailed customer feedback, both qualitative and quantitative, specifically on the quality of employee contacts and the quality of customer relationships overall.
We Visualize the Results & Prepare Conclusions

We Help You to Make Quality Improvement Decisions
Using your dashboard, you can go from average, aggregate scores down to the level of each individual contact and see full detail of all data points. Our experts can help you to reach the best conclusions on how to improve.
Why the Quality of Human Contact is Important?
In the digital age, many can say that human contact is less important than digital interfaces; however, if a customer has reached a human in your organization, it is likely one of three possible scenarios.
This customer does not currently use digital channels, which represents an opportunity to register and onboard the customer to remote channels.
This customer has complex questions and/or needs consultation on a complex matter that was not easily found or explained in online interfaces.
This customer already tried to resolve their issue through digital channels and was unable to reach a satisfactory outcome.
All three of these scenarios are moments of truth in which the quality of human contact will either strengthen or damage the relationship with the customer.
Why Mystery Shopping & Customer Feedback is Important?
Understanding how you perform compared to your competition is key for success in any business. But most mystery shopping & customer feedback approaches cannot provide a market benchmark
Using mystery shoppers and customer feedback for quality control is a widespread practice, but with differing scorecards and differing approaches, it is often impossible to use as a competitor benchmark.
Our mystery shoppers are trained to assess the many facets of great customer experiences in physical locations, and we provide this benchmark quarterly in most markets.
Our customer feedback platforms are designed specifically to measure the quality of human contacts in physical and alternative channels and the overall quality of customer relationships.
Humans Are Important! Many will say that humans will be replaced by artificial intelligence or automated out of most positions with recurring tasks; however, most businesses are still designed with humans as customers or end users. Most customers, when faced with a difficult problem, a complex issue, or a need for some well-tailored advice, will seek the help of a human if they cannot easily find a solution through digital channels. How your team handles these contacts are “moments of truth” in the relationships with customers: great human contacts will strengthen the relationship; poor human contacts may risk the relationship altogether.
Corporate Culture Is Important! Most companies dedicate significant attention and resources on creating technological infrastructure and agile product teams and underperform on ensuring consistent contact quality. How your teams collaborate to ensure consistent customer experiences and great customer relationships is vital for any business today.

Proven Correlation with Economic Benefits
Over the first five years of our field research projects, we had annual audits from Big Four Auditors who confirmed both the legitimacy of our benchmarks and also the proven correlation with economic results of the participants. Both the CXCI and the CEI methodologies showed consistent correlation with the following three areas that should be interesting for any business:
Sales Effectiveness
Companies that scored higher had better customer acquisition and cross-sell results than those with lower scores
Revenue
Companies with higher scored enjoyed price premiums on average 60% more than lower scoring competitors
Loyalty
Companies in the top of the rating had more relationship consolidation and less attrition than companies with lower scores

What Else We Measure?
Customer Experience Culture Index (СXCI)

Five Promises
The Five Promises platform is an accessible, simple and standardized instrument for collecting customer feedback on the quality of human contact with customers. The analyzed feedback is then represented in interactive dashboards with insights on how to improve quality in your customer touch points in five key promises that any organization should fulfill for their customers.
Relationship Strength Score (RSS)
The Relationship Strength Score is a rich methodology that provides a measure of loyalty far more reliable than other approaches commonly used in business today. This survey / interview methodology is designed to measure three main factors of loyalty.
