•  Increases shipping volume. “Maersk correlated a 4 point increase in Net Promoter Scores with a 1% increase in additional volume shipped by customers”.

The 55 regions that have set up local councils also received a three-day training course in customer experience improvement methods. The firm then did a study comparing regions with and without a council. The result: participating local offices score 10 points higher on their NPS than those offices that opted out”.

Forrester predicts 2013 is the year of Customer emotions and our Emotional Signature

Emotional insights will take center stage. Over the past several months, we’ve seen a rise in the number of companies pondering the connection between enjoyment and metrics like satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS). As firms start to emphasize customer emotion in 2013, we expect to see more vendors developing offerings like Beyond Philosophy’s Emotional Signature, which examines the rat ional, subconscious, and emotional elements of an experience.
