eTouchPointOptimizing the Customer Experience
Online When customers use the Internet to contact you, you should do
the same. An email or pop-up survey is the best way to contact this customer
for feedback.
In-Home/Retail Visit When a person-to-person interaction takes
place, IVR phone surveys personalize feedback collection, get high response
rates, and are the best option for contacting customers.
Phone Call When customers use your customer service line, it’s an
indicator that they are comfortable communicating with you this way. You
should use an IVR phone call or SMS/text to gather this customer’s feedback.
In order to get the most accurate feedback from your customers’experience,
follow-up as soon as possible after an interaction—and definitely within
24 hours.
How Often? Don’t over-survey your customers. Track how often you
contact customers and don't survey them more than once every 60 days.

Which Feedback Gathering Channels
Are Right for Your CX Program?
When it comes to collecting customer experience feedback, not all feedback gathering channels
are created equal. Which should you use? Here are proven approaches to help you decide:
How Did the Customer Interact With You?
When Should You Reach Out?
To optimize feedback response rates, you must employ the right survey and CX
data-collection technologies.
Email The most prevalent because it is easy to administer and inexpensive, but
response rates (8%–15%) lag behind IVR and SMS.
IVR IVR automated phone surveys personalize the feedback collection and have a
stronger call to action, so response rates are higher (15%–30%).
SMS/Text Surveying through text message yields response
rates similar to IVR (15%–30%) and performs better with younger demographics.
Will They Respond?
Best Practice Tip: Ask customers for their contact preferences and
use them when you request feedback.
