Mystery Shopping Benchmarks
Customer Experience Culture Index (СXCI)

The Customer Experience Culture Index (CXCI) is a measure of the quality of human interactions with customers in different channels. Unlike other mystery shopping methodologies, the CXCI is designed to focus on the quality of human contact and the emotional state of the customer during each contact. The methodology focuses on four areas of measurement: How satisfying was the individual contact with each person? How effectively did the team work to meet customer needs, preferences, and behavior? Is the team ensuring that customer environments are comfortable and safe for customers? What was the emotional state of the customer during seven data points of the “journey” during each visit?

CXCI – A Frontline Measure of Customer-Centric Corporate Culture

A measure of customer-centric corporate culture can be found in the quality of individual contacts between the employees of a company and customers. The quality of individual human contact, team dynamics during interactions, and the condition of customer environments under the control of the team are the key human influence in the quality of each contact/interaction with the company.

Customer Experience Index (CEI)

The Customer Experience Index (CEI) allows companies to measure and benchmark the quality and consistency of customer experiences for potential customers visiting a physical location for the first time. It is designed specifically for companies to see their performance compared to competitors through the eyes of a potential customer. The index is based on five key elements that have a strong influence on acquisition of new customers at the first point of contact in a physical location: Brand, Communications, Environment, Offering, and Culture. From the last 15 years of experience with this methodology, we can confirm that companies that are more advanced in these five elements in their physical locations will enjoy more effective customer acquisition results, lower price sensitivity, and more willingness to consider an ongoing relationship.

Customer Feedback Benchmarks
Five Promises

The Five Promises platform is an accessible, simple and standardized instrument for collecting customer feedback on the quality of human contact with customers. The analyzed feedback is then represented in interactive dashboards with insights on how to improve quality in your customer touch points in five key promises that any organization should fulfill for their customers.

Five Promises
icon

Relationship & Interest

We will always show sincere interest and treat each contact with you as an opportunity to strengthen our relationship
icon

Exceeding Expectations

We will always try to be flexible and find a solution that is tailored to your needs and preferences
icon

Teamwork & Roles

We will always be supportive and professional towards you and each other and work together to deliver the right outcome for you
icon

Attitude & Consistency

You will enjoy the same positivity, efficiency, and attention to detail with any member of our team
icon

Environment

You will always feel safe and comfortable in our environment

Why these Five Promises?

Our experience in over 30 countries has shown us that measuring the quality of human contact requires a balance of several elements. Asking your customers to rate these specific promises allows us to understand the quality of individual contacts, team dynamics, and the environment created by the team.

These Five Promises are also designed to isolate the quality of human contact – excluding other factors that may not be fair when evaluating the performance of employees. Other rating systems fail to isolate human behavior and often include many factors influencing customer feedback that are not specifically related to the quality of human interactions.

The Five Promises platform enables organizations to collect feedback from customers, index performance of physical and alternative customer touch points, and benchmark against other organizations to understand and improve the quality of human interactions with their customers.

Relationship Strength Score (RSS)
