CX metrics on Retention:

Net Promoter Score (NPS)

Asking the NPS question on your customer experience survey will give you an idea on how many customers are willing to act as an advocate for your company while remaining loyal to your brand. Here’s how you can measure it.

Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)

Customer satisfaction can be measured by simply asking your customer to rate their satisfaction after the latest interaction with your company using a 1 (Very Dissatisfied) - 5 (Very Satisfied) scale. The sum of Very satisfied and Somewhat satisfied are the total satisfied customers at a given time. 

Customer effort score (CES)

CES answers the satisfaction question from the service side of the business. The ease of doing business with an organization has a direct impact on how your customers view your business. The easier it gets to do business with you the overall customer satisfaction should increase.

Comment coding and sentiment scoring

Coding open-ended comments within your CX survey will reduce analysis time. It will also allow you to quickly uncover positive and negative trends and discover sales opportunities within segments of your customers. Using a big data linguistic analysis technique companies can also codify individual comments on a scale of positive to negative.
