Making Customer Feedback Visual

As practitioners in the customer feedback game, we are only too aware of customer voices falling on deaf ears.

NPS: Do detractors beget defectors? 3 Lessons learned from a 'customer churn in mobile' study

In our NPS self-improvement efforts we read a lot of literature on the intersection of social networks and marketing and especially we take note of studies that use data from mobile telephone operators. Why?

Bottom up NPS – the missing ingredient in CRM?

I recently undertook the Net Promoter Score (NPS) certification course, the online version offered by Satmetrix. Overall, quite a good experience and the knowledge will come in handy as we work with our clients’ relationship strategies.
