Customer Satisfaction
(A Brief Presentation)
Survey Customers
This is probably the only way to get customer feedback unless they
use a direct contact to your organization, which most people are too busy
to bother with unless they are extremely upset for some reason.
We can provide surveys in several ways (through mail, email, over
the phone or websites) and in order to get the best information, we should
allow customers to answer questions on a weighted scale like:
Understand Expectations
If we know what our customers expect from us, it logically follows
that we will be better able to offer them an enjoyable experience.
Pinpoint Specifics
Whether a customer is satisfied or not, the data we collect will
need to accurately assess what is working and what isn’t. So inquiries into
level of satisfaction should include more than just the overall experience.
Expectancy value models have been found to perform well in predicting both
satisfaction/dissatisfaction and behavioral intention (intention to
try, purchase, recommend, or re-purchase a product or service).
• = the overall attitude toward the object. The overall attitude is formed by the
multiplicative product of ai (the person's affective evaluation of attribute i),
and bi (here defined as the importance of attribute i in the purchase decision). The
sum is taken over the k attributes that are defined as salient in the purchase
decision.
• = The overall normative component of the decision process. This is
computed as the multiplicative product of nbi (the norms governing attitude i),
andmci (the motivation of the respondent to comply with those norms).
Behavioral Intention (BI)
Behavioral intention is measured using a question such as "Indicate the
likelihood of you buying sometime during the next year" with a five or seven-
point Likert or semantic differential scale labeled "definitely will purchase"
and "definitely will not purchase" at the endpoints.
Satisfaction
Overall satisfaction or dissatisfaction with an object is often measured using a
five-point satisfaction scale. As an example, "Overall, how satisfied are you
with Sparkle toothpaste?" could be measured with a "Very
Satisfied, Somewhat Satisfied, Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied, Somewhat
Dissatisfied, Very Dissatisfied" scale.
