Customer Effort Score (CES)

What is CES?

CES - Customer Effort Score - measures customer satisfaction based on ease to complete a specific task. CES asks customers to rate the difficulty they face with the organization's services. The CES metric is an indicator of how easily issues get resolved, it doesn’t really assess if a customer is satisfied with the service.

How is CES calculated?

The CES is measuring the effort of a service experience. It is usually introduced with “The company made it easy for me to do XYZ” and respondents are asked to review the ease on a scale from 1- Strongly disagree to 7- Strongly Agree 

In the Dashboard and in the Review Cards we show the Score from 1.0-7.0. In the statistical pages of the platform, the CES is displayed in % to allow better comparison with the other Scores such as the CSAT ( that is also presented in %).

How should we use CES to increase Customer Satisfaction?

NPS, CES, and CSAT are the 3 main VOC scores. Businesses use CES as a way to understand and determine brand loyalty drivers after a single interaction. 96% of customers become more disloyal after a high-effort interaction with a company compared to only 9% of those having a low-effort experience.

The CES is transaction-based, companies can use it after a customer support interaction, after a purchase, or after registering for an event. The CES is most commonly utilized in measuring customer experience to improve issue-resolve time.
