Chicago (PRWEB) March 12, 2014 -- SingleHop, dedicated server and cloud hosting company, has “virtually eliminated” customer churn after implementing a Net Promoter program to drive up customer satisfaction and bring the voice of customer into the organization.
Since implementing its Net Promoter program, its customer retention has skyrocketed, and it now has a churn rate of less than 0.2% per month – a figure that compares favorably with an average monthly churn rate of around 0.5 – 1% for SaaS businesses in 2013.
SingleHop’s journey to increasing customer retention began in mid-2011, when it partnered with CustomerGauge, a customer feedback and analytics platform based on the Net Promoter System, to bring customer feedback into the organization in a systematic, deliberate way. Using CustomerGauge features, the organization has taken steps to deeply embed the voice of customer at all levels of the organization to help fuel customer-focused innovation and transform its internal culture according to objective feedback.
Explaining the reasons behind this initiative, Mark Cravotta, Executive Vice President Worldwide Sales and Services, noted: “Without the voice of customer and the interaction, we’re really just a commodity, and there are plenty of commodities on the market today. But customer feedback doesn’t just give customers the feeling that their voice is heard, it really fuels innovation and growth.”
To ensure that feedback filters throughout the organization, access to CustomerGauge system is universal, and daily, weekly, and monthly reports, which include actual responses from customers, are sent to a cross-section of senior management. Digital signage further embeds the voice of customer in the organisation by displaying recent customer comments throughout the company’s offices.
“Listening to customers, understanding what is needed in our offering, and being able to evolve that to a place where customers feel like they are getting what they want, at a fair price, in a way that they can do business that is beneficial to them, is a real outcome of this program,” said Mark Cravotta. “We are tremendously pleased with how far we’ve come, but now we want to do more than just eliminate churn – we want to drive up customer satisfaction and really make them delighted with the services we provide.”
