How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints.

For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints.

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships.

Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention.

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships.

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

Final thoughts

NPS and CSAT scores are useful tools for securing customer retention. By identifying pain points, closing the feedback loop, integrating metrics into QBRs, and continuously monitoring customer sentiment, businesses can be proactive in improving the overall customer experience. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty, reduces churn and nourishes long-term customer relationships.

How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention. 

A sudden dip in NPS could signal a deeper issue with product quality or support. Swift intervention, like adjusting processes or addressing the problem with individual customers, can prevent widespread dissatisfaction and churn.

How NPS and CSAT scores can help improve customer retention

NPS and CSAT scores form a key part of your Quarterly Business Review (QBR). Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements, and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention.

In any market, loyal customers are a critical factor for long-term success. Acquiring new customers is expensive and maintaining strong existing customer relationships will often yield higher revenue.

Questions in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) about ROIs and KPIs

To track the health of your customer relationships, two commonly used metrics are Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT). Both provide valuable, actionable insights into customer sentiment and experience. 

 

Understanding NPS and CSAT


NPS is a measure of customer loyalty, gauging how likely a customer is to recommend your company or service to others, using a 0 to 10 scale.  

CSAT measures a customer’s immediate satisfaction with a particular interaction, product, or service. It typically involves a simple survey asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 immediately following a purchase or interaction. 
 

 

How to use NPS & CSAT to drive customer retention

 
By analysing NPS and CSAT scores, businesses can segment their customers into different categories and target specific groups for follow-up actions. For example:
 
1. Segment customers & identify pain points
  • Promoters: These loyal customers can be nurtured to become brand ambassadors. Engage them through loyalty programs, referral incentives, or exclusive offers. 
  •  Passives: Implement changes to sway the score to become more positive and keep communication flowing to ensure you know where they are less satisfied with their experience. 
  • Detractors: The most critical group to address for retention. Identifying the reasons for their dissatisfaction - whether it’s product issues, customer service challenges, or unmet expectations - may be unpleasant, but it’s also an opportunity to improve your business. 
For CSAT, low scores on specific products or interactions highlight immediate pain points, allowing you to address problems before they escalate. High CSAT scores can also indicate what’s working well and should be emphasised or replicated across other customer touchpoints. 

 
2. Close the feedback loop
Both NPS and CSAT scores offer opportunities for continuous improvement, but only if you close the feedback loop. Contacting detractors and customers with low CSAT scores allows you to understand their grievances and prove you’re serious about addressing their concerns. Personalised follow-ups can turn a negative experience into a positive one, preventing churn and boosting retention. 

In addition, engaging with promoters and customers with high CSAT scores reinforces their positive experience. Asking for reviews or testimonials, inviting them to exclusive events or giving them early access to new products can deepen their loyalty.

3. Incorporate scores into QBRs

NPS and CSAT scores can be a key part of your Quarterly Business Review. Regular reviews of these metrics with customer success teams let you track trends, highlight improvements and monitor potential risks. This helps you set a strategy for both immediate and long-term retention. 

QBRs are also an opportunity to share success stories where low NPS or CSAT scores have previously been given, and demonstrating how negative feedback has led to tangible improvements and better scores. Additionally, showcasing customers who consistently provide high scores shows how you focus on retaining loyal customers with positive relationships. 

 

4. Monitor & adapt

Continuous monitoring of NPS and CSAT scores (through the use of tools like Clientshare Pulse) helps you stay on top of customer sentiment. By capturing feedback at key moments, in real time, companies can identify trends and potential issues before they have a negative impact on customer retention.
