The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI)

ACSI® is the only satisfaction measurement system for perceived product and service quality across all industries in the United States. This tool allows you to compare different industries thanks to unique benchmarking capabilities, selecting the best companies in each area. Based on a proprietary methodology, it produces accurate and reliable results on the customer experience. In addition, its cause-and-effect model offers advanced predictive capabilities, measuring both the determinants and the behaviors resulting from satisfaction, to provide companies with strategic and targeted indications.

Mystery Techniques

Mystery techniques (shopper, call, client) allow you to monitor and evaluate the quality of company contact points by simulating the customer experience. This approach allows you to identify and correct critical areas of improvement, to ensure high service standards.

Focus group

Focus groups offer an interactive method to explore the perceptions, opinions and expectations of a specific target audience. Through guided discussions, they provide detailed insights useful for designing effective products and strategies. Can be adapted to physical or online spaces.

Lost Customer Analysis

Win-back analysis identifies the causes of customer churn and develops strategies to win them back. This process allows you to reduce churn, maximize portfolio value and strengthen competitiveness.

Beyond NPS… Advocacy

How many promoters does your company have?

NPS, Net Promoter Score, calculates potential promoters by subtracting detractors. Unfortunately, this method ignores most customers, considering them neutral even when the score is 8.

For this reason we have built an additional indicator, the ADVI (advocacy Index) which expresses the percentage of customers who have actually spoken well of your company in the last 12 months.

Behavioral Predictive Model

Behavioral predictive modeling uses advanced analytics to accurately predict future customer behavior. Using statistical tools and complex algorithms, it supports data-driven decisions and helps companies improve customer experience, maximize loyalty, and optimize portfolio value.

CATI Surveys

The CATI method allows you to collect data quickly and accurately through software-assisted telephone interviews. This approach ensures consistency, reduces errors, and provides actionable answers for strategic decisions. It is ideal for reaching well-defined targets, meeting stringent quotas, and ensuring you interview the relevant people in your target universe.

CAPI Investigations

CAPI surveys use in-person interviews supported by electronic devices to collect detailed and reliable data. This method allows for in-depth insights thanks to the flexibility of the questionnaire and the possibility of real-time clarifications. The main advantage is that the interview takes place right while the customer is living the experience, allowing for the collection of hot impressions and ensuring greater accuracy in feedback. The interview can be enriched with a photographic set.

CAWI Investigations

CAWI surveys use online questionnaires to reach a large and diverse audience. This method guarantees fast data collection, low costs and high quality results, optimizing business strategies. Depending on the client's needs, it can be adapted to panels, client name lists and social sampling. It allows you to show related images or videos to respondents.

ADV Tracking

ADV Tracking helps you measure and optimize the performance of your advertising campaigns. By analyzing results in real time, it helps companies refine their messages and channels to maximize their return on investment.
