Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure comparability of results between your existing NPS/CSAT measurement and the Competitive CX Benchmark, we follow these steps: 

Alignment of measurement parameters: We make sure that the data collection methods, question-wording, and scoring scales used by the Competitive CX Benchmark are consistent with your current NPS/CSAT measurement. 

  1. Define the same target audience: We make sure both measurements focus on the same target customer segments, allowing for a direct comparison of the results. 
  2. Comparable data collection periods: We advise conducting both measurements during the same time frame or similar periods to account for any potential seasonal or cyclical fluctuations in customer sentiment. 
  3. Benchmark calibration: If possible, we calibrate your existing NPS/CSAT measurement with the Competitive CX Benchmark by comparing historical data or running a pilot study to ensure the two measurements align. 

The Competitive CX Benchmark can be combined with your existing CX data, such as NPS or CSAT scores (e.g. Relationship NPS and Transactional NPS), to provide a comprehensive view of the market and to compare your performance against competitors.  

Integrating Competitive CX Benchmark and existing NPS programmes (Relationship and Transactional) facilitates a holistic CX programme delivering:  

  1. Localised initiatives, driving improvement across local and customer-specific touchpoints. 
  2. Strategic direction and top management steering, navigating the competitive environment, and improving the overall market position.

Organizations from multiple industries leverage insights from the Competitive CX Benchmark programme to inform data-driven decisions and drive operational improvements. Leading examples include:  

  1. Identification of strengths and weaknesses in the journey: Outline specific areas where the company excels or lags competitors, leading to a better understanding of where to focus growth efforts for current and new business. 
  2. Customer segmentation and relevant targeting: Segment and improve understanding of the customer groups and design a better loyalty targeting approach for the customer groups. 
  3. Strengthening competitive messaging: Develop a refined and resonating competitive messaging with a clear understanding of customer's preferences and needs. 
  4. Activation of strategic CX insights: Set market-level workshops, to identify CX areas to streamline, leading to cost savings, and better go-to-market strategy, marketing, and operations.
