Customer service

Metric/Performance indicators	Definition	Measurement Techniques
Overall Satisfaction	By performing regular customer satisfaction surveys, you can gauge how many of your customers would rate their level of satisfaction as very or extremely satisfied. The more customers who rate their experiences highly, the better your customer service.	Assessment Techniques, Emotional Tracking, Customer Relationship Management, Social Media, Websites.
Satisfaction Improvement	One way to measure customer service is to track changes in customer satisfaction over time. If, for example, satisfaction has gone down over the last couple of years, then you’ll know a change is likely in order. But if it’s improving, or if you’ve already achieved high levels of customer satisfaction and they’re staying constant, then you’ll know you’re on the right track.	Customer Relationship Management, Assessment Techniques.
Customer Retention	Customers who are happy with the service you provide are likely to stick around and do more business with you. So if you’re bringing back a fair amount of customers regularly, that’s a pretty good indication that you’re providing good customer service.	Emotional Tracking, Face Tracking, Customer Relationship Management.
Net Promoter Score	And customers who are very happy with your customer service are likely to even go a step further and recommend your company to others. So your company’s Net Promoter Score, or rate of people who would recommend your business to others, can be a good indication of where your customer service stands and another way to measure customer service.	Social Media, Websites, Mobile Apps, Customer Relationship Management.
Conversion Rate	After someone from your customer service team interacts with a customer, how likely are they to make a purchase or take some other kind of action? If your customer service is good, this number should be fairly high.	Social Media, Websites, Mobile Apps.
Compared to Competitors	Even customers who like your brand might not choose you over your competitors for every single interaction or purchase. So while general satisfaction and customer retention are good metrics to measure service, it’s still important to see how your company stacks up against competitors.	Social Media, Websites, Mobile Apps.
Average Resolution Time	Part of providing great customer service is resolving issues in a timely manner. If you can respond to customers and get them answers quickly, they’re more likely to be pleased with the experience. So, if you’re able to keep that resolution time relatively low, that could be an indication of good customer service and yet another way to measure customer service.	Assessment Techniques, Customer Relationship Management.
Active Issues	If you are able to resolve most issues fairly quickly, then you shouldn’t have too many issues to deal with at any one time. And if you do, then it could indicate that your customers have a higher-than-usual volume of complaints.	Assessment Techniques, Emotional Tracking, Sensor Technology.
Resolved Issues	You can also look at all of the issues that your customer service team has resolved to get an idea of your customer service. No matter how great your company, there are bound to be issues and complaints. But if you’re able to solve them quickly and in a way that makes your customers happy, that’s an indication of good service.	Customer Relationship Management, Social Media, Mobile Apps, Websites.
Employee Productivity	Different types of businesses use different methods to measure employee productivity. But it’s an important factor when it comes to customer service. If you want customer issues to be resolved in a timely manner, employees need to do their jobs effectively.	Sensor Technology, Reviews From Customers, Online Questionners.
Employee Retention/Employee Turnover	When your employees are happy, they tend to stick around. And when you are able to keep employees around for long periods of time, they’re more likely to feel comfortable and empowered in their jobs. This means they’re also likely to provide service that lives up to your standards.	Sensor Technology, Face Tracking, Emotional Tracking.
Brand Attributes	How do customers view your company overall? What words would they use to describe your brand? And how do their opinions line up with your expectations? By obtaining this sort of feedback from customers, you can measure customer service and get a pretty good indication of where you stand in your customers’ eyes. And you’ll know what qualities you might need to work on to get customers to see your brand in that particular light.	Online Review, Websites.
Complaint Escalation Rate	No matter how great your service is, you’re going to get complaints at some point. But if you reach a point where you’re receiving an unusually large number of complaints, or your complaints have been steadily increasing without overall customer growth, there could be a problem. Keep an eye on how those numbers change over time. This could also tie in to the number of resolved issues, if you’re tracking that, as well.	Customer Relationship Management, Assessment Techniques.
Cash Flow	Cash flow can be a great performance indicator for many different business factors. Customer service is such an important factor that it can have a really big impact on your bottom line. If your service is bad, it could drive customers away, decrease referrals and cause potential customers not to complete purchases. But if it’s good, customers are likely to come back, tell their friends and have a big impact on your company’s overall profits.	Customer Relationship Management, Assessment Techniques, Sensor Technology.

Opt-in rate by communications channel	Consumer consent is a hot topic that will only increase in scrutiny. It's advisable to therefore measure how many loyalty scheme members have consented to communications and how this varies by channel.	Emotional Tracking, Sensor Technology, Google Analytics, Social Media Analytics, Social Media, Websites.
Revenue	Revenue is the ultimate driver and should be measured for each of the segments that you have volumetrics for (ie. members/non-members; active/inactive members).

Budget	The budget indicates how much money you have allocated for the specific project. Project managers and ecommerce business owners will want to make sure that the budget is realistic; if you’re repeatedly over budget, some adjustments to your project planning need to be made.	Transaction Data Techniques.
Return on investment	The ROI KPI for project management tells you how much your efforts earned your business. The higher this number, the better. The ROI accounts for all of your expenses and earnings related to a project.	Surveys, Google Analytics, Websites.

Issues resolved	Social media is more than just a way to connect with your customers, it’s an opportunity to prove your value to them in countless different ways. For instance, 78% of people who complain to a brand through Twitter expect a response within one hour. If you can show your customers that you respect them by resolving their issues quickly and effectively, then you could differentiate your brand as one that knows the value of great customer service.	Customer Relationship Management, Surveys, Analytics.
Customer lifetime value	The more loyal your fans become, the likelier they’ll buy from you. Social media campaigns can enhance customer lifetime value by ensuring that you constantly connect with the right people, rather than making brief impressions.

From there, you can begin to evaluate how your social strategies are prompting action from your customers.

Social Media Engagement

Metric/Performance indicators	Definition	Measurement Techniques
Clicks	Clicks are one of the simplest forms of engagement to measure. Anyone willing to click on a link to your website or blog is generally more likely to convert.	Online Tools, Web Scrapping, Tracking.
Likes	Likes are a natural way to generate attention for your brand. As human beings, we prefer to associate ourselves with ideas and things that are popular. That means the more likes a post has, the higher engagement it will cultivate. Likes are also a sign that your content has authority and deserves more attention from your marketing team.	Social Media, Web Scrapping, Google Analytics, Social Media Analytics.
On your page	Likes occurred when users visited the page	Smartphones, Celular Data Techniques, Web Scrapping, Surveys

Unlike page	Number of people who unliked your page.	Analytics, Surveys.
Shares	While likes are great, it’s not a huge indicator of brand loyalty. We can easily hit a like button after barely reading a post and then never interact with the same company again. While likes are one of the many social media key performance indicators you should measure, if you want to look at true engagement, then make sure you track shares and retweets. Shares are a sign that your customers are willing to recommend your brand to their friends.	Tracking, Surveys, Collection of Image Data.
Comments	The whole point of being active on social is to engage in conversations with your customers. If your content is relevant, interesting and informative, it will spark a conversation with your followers. More so, it could help generate loyalty among your followers.	Social Media, Customer Relationship Management.
Mentions	Approximately 96% of people who discuss companies on social don’t even follow that brand’s profile. In other words, people talk about your company when you’re not in the room. Even though you might not have a direct connection with those individuals, the things they say about your company are important.	Surveys, Tracking, Hashtags.

Social Media Reach

Metric/Performance indicators	Definition	Measurement Techniques
Followers	Perhaps the most obvious way to determine whether you’re reaching enough people is to look at how many followers and fans you have on each platform.	Social Media, Web Scrapping, Reviews, Websites.
Impressions	Impressions are a complicated metric to measure. They show how many times your posts showed up on a timeline or newsfeed. One user can have multiple impressions. For instance, they may see a post once in their own feed, and then again when someone else they follow shares it. Though this number is vague as it simply indicates how many people could connect with your brand, a higher number is typically better.	Social Media, Surveys, Reviews, Websites.
Web traffic	The amount of traffic to your website from your social media campaigns is crucial. It’s the first steep in converting your followers into customers, as you know that they’re interested enough to find out more about your company.	Traffic Data, Tracking, Cellular Data Techniques, Analytics, Websites
Sessions	The periods of time when a user is active on your website.	Online Tools, Visitors Tracking, Assessment Techniques.
New users	Number of non-registered users on your website.	Surveys, Web Analytics.

Marketing

Metric/Performance indicators	Definition	Measurement Techniques
Time on site	This KPI tells you how much time visitors are spending on your website. Generally, more time spent means they’ve had deeper engagements with your brand. Usually, you’ll want to see more time spent on blog content and landing pages and less time spent through the checkout process.	Web Scrapping, Survey, Cellular Data Techniques, Social Media, Online Questionners
Bounce rate	The bounce rate tells you how many users exit your site after viewing only one page. If this number is high, you’ll want to investigate why visitors are leaving your site instead of exploring.	Survey, Online Questionners.
Pageviews per visit	Pageviews per visit refers to the average number of pages a user will view on your site during each visit. Again, more pages usually means more engagement.
