A leading financial services company specializing in personal and business loans sought to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty by implementing Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) tracking. The goal was to gain actionable insights into customer experience (CX), reduce churn, and improve loan approval processes.
Challenges
Low Customer Retention: High drop-off rates during loan applications.
Poor Feedback Collection: Manual surveys led to low response rates.
Lack of Real-Time Insights: Delayed feedback analysis hindered quick improvements.
Inconsistent CX: Varied customer experiences across digital and in-person channels.
