We recently launched the Services Benchmarking Study, designed to help brand owners understand how their organisations rate across a variety of metrics; including overall customer satisfaction, NPS and Customer Effort. Our study also focused on benchmarking home security providers. The good news is that for this sector when it comes to customer satisfaction, just under three quarters of customers believe they receive good value for money. In addition, 40% have been with their current supplier for more than five years Download our infographic “Safe as Houses” which provides an overview of findings across the top home security providers including: • Breakdown of KPI metrics for home security providers • The key reasons for choosing a provider • Areas of poor customer experience that cause consumers to cancel • The role of switching and ditching – just how common is it? The Services Benchmarking Study has compared providers’ big and small, detailing in-depth information of how your company has performed against the competition. Here at SPA Future Thinking we utilise Their Voice our bespoke Voice of the Customer programme to help leading blue chip organisations achieve greater customer engagement and improved business performance. If you’d like to know more about our Services Benchmarking Study and find out how your business compares please contact Craig Strudley on +44 (0)1865 336 400 or [email protected]
