Leading Retailer
Drives Business Success with Customer Feedback
One of the United States’ largest retail brands has nearly 700 stores
and is the leading provider of content, digital media and education
products. The retailer placed little focus on soliciting actionable data
from customers and needed to better understand and improve the
customer service experience.
It was essential for the retailer to find a partner that had a flexible
product with a variety of offerings. After a competitive review process,
the retailer selected Confirmit. Confirmit would be an extension of its
own team and play a consulting role when necessary.
The retailer’s VoC program includes a variety of dynamic email surveys
that include a number of variables allowing survey questions to evolve,
crafting new and unique questions based on the previous answer.
Driving Action
•	 800,000 surveys per year and 14% response rate
•	 6.8% increase in customer satisfaction
•	 Targeted improvements to agent training
•	 Standardizing the customer experience through third-party sellers,
no matter the location
•	 Hard data drives development of outsourced relationships.
“The VoC program has absolutely
driven business decisions internally. It
impacts who we outsource to – we run a
month-over-month report that shows our
managers how our outsourcers are doing
against each other.”
Senior Manager of Customer Service

Best Buy is the world’s largest multi-channel consumer
electronics retailer in the United States, Canada, China, and
Mexico, with more than 1 billion website visitors and 600 million
visits to U.S. stores each year.
With an evolved customer experience program, Best Buy
wanted to view their customer base with a new perspective
using the Net Promoter Score®
.
During a transaction with Best Buy, every customer receives an
invitation to the main retail survey. NPS scores of 6 or less are
flagged to discuss a problem resolution. Feedback is shared
across marketing, executives and field personnel through live
dashboards, and reports are exported into periodic and ad-
hoc reporting.
Driving Action
•	 Implemented a “Renew Blue” certification process based
on learning performance and assessment of individual
store locations
•	 Improved the visibility of ‘In Store Pick Up’ area in order to
increase customer awareness
•	 Teams in the field now focus on associate availability
after determining the impact this has on the likelihood a
customer will recommend Best Buy.
“Insights from both purchasers and
non-purchasers are used to shape
our company culture. All employees,
in-stores and corporate, have access
to the data and are engaged in the
program. The results are not only
discussed in performance appraisals,
but updates are provided in every
earnings release.”

“Our belief in the power of VoC resulted in our decision to brand our entire
customer initiative as ‘One Voice’. The program now covers the vast majority of
BSI’s business streams and operates globally, helping to keep the Voice of the
Customer ‘front and center’ in all countries in which BSI operates.”
Tony Reilly
Group Marketing Director
BSI (formerly British Standards Institution) is a multinational business
standards company that helps organizations drive performance, reduce
risk and grow sustainably. As new players within the standards space, the
challenge was on to maintain competitive advantage.
To meet this challenge BSI needed to increase consistency of its surveys,
focus on customer issues, streamline and reduce the existing surveys, and
enhance its reporting capabilities. BSI also needed to engage employees
to focus on the customer at every touchpoint.

enabled BSI to understand gaps in the customer journey and to identify
new opportunities.

competitive advantage in the standards market

quickly and efficiently to changing requirements and

employees to monitor the ‘health’ of the building and
overall working environment. Questionnaires are completed

investment across their portfolio, and tenants are provided
with insights to help boost employee satisfaction levels.

to boost its Key Performance Indicator; the
likelihood that customers would recommend
the company to friends.
LivingSocial

multi-channel, specialty direct marketer and distributor of medical-surgical supplies,
equipment and pharmaceuticals to 100,000+ healthcare providers.

Confirmit, but the company wanted more immediate and holistic insight into the customer
experience.
They transitioned to a daily data feed to better understand, research and resolve issues

PHLY designs, markets, and underwrites commercial
property/casualty and professional liability insurance
products for niche markets, incorporating value-added
coverage’s and services for select industries. PHLY partners
with local and national charitable organizations to give
back to the communities they serve. The company has 46
offices in 13 regions strategically located throughout the U.S.
The insurance industry landscape looked and behaved
quite differently in 2010 following the dramatic recession.
Customers and prospects had more questions, hesitancy
and concerns. Previously expected market share was no
longer guaranteed and the competitive landscape began
to get crowded. Philadelphia Insurance realized that long-
term success in this new market required a fresh strategy.
PHLY’s Voice of the Customer is a unified platform of five
transactional surveys, one unsolicited survey via website,
and one annual relationship survey. The company has
added to the program in order to gather a well-rounded
understanding of the customer’s experience. The program
now offers a 360-degree view of the policy lifecycle and
gathers feedback at critical touch points regardless of
department.
“Without this type of feedback it was difficult to truly integrate our customer’s voice. The management team
now uses the insight to assist with our strategic direction.”

Shared Service Operations
The Hanover Insurance Group is the holding company for several property
and casualty insurance companies, which together constitute one of the
largest insurance businesses in the United States.
As one of the most customer-oriented departments at The Hanover
Insurance Group, the company wanted to better understand the Claims
department experience and identify opportunities to improve it in order to
better retain customers.

improved. Claims personnel and regional directors are able to access the

Leading Retailer Drives Business Success with Customer Feedback One of the United States’ largest retail brands has nearly 700 stores and is the leading provider of content, digital media and education products.

Philadelphia Insurance Realizes VoC Return on Investment Moore Medical LLC, a subsidiary of McKesson Medical-Surgical, is an Internet-enabled, multi-channel, specialty direct marketer and distributor of medical-surgical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals to 100,000+ healthcare providers. Moore Medical had been running a successful monthly transactional survey with Confirmit, but the company wanted more immediate and holistic insight into the customer experience. They transitioned to a daily data feed to better understand, research and resolve issues directly after a transaction. Multi-touchpoint surveys capture the representative’s skills and service level, as well as the order fulfillment details. The company introduced Ease of Doing Business as a KPI against which to measure success. Driving Action • A 12% improvement in Ease of Doing Business metric • Improved ordering and transaction process • Website improvements to facilitate faster and regular ordering • Data shared across teams through a variety of channels, including alerts. Moore Medical Immediate and Holistic Insight into the Customer Experience “The customer experience program at Moore Medical has been consistently successful because of the support from the executive leadership team. Because of this, we’ve implemented change, expanded the program and increased employee responsiveness and attitude toward receiving positive feedback.” Joellyn Ball Senior Manager, Customer Experience and Data Management PHLY designs, markets, and underwrites commercial property/casualty and professional liability insurance products for niche markets, incorporating value-added coverage’s and services for select industries. PHLY partners with local and national charitable organizations to give back to the communities they serve. The company has 46 offices in 13 regions strategically located throughout the U.S. The insurance industry landscape looked and behaved quite differently in 2010 following the dramatic recession. Customers and prospects had more questions, hesitancy and concerns. Previously expected market share was no longer guaranteed and the competitive landscape began to get crowded. Philadelphia Insurance realized that long- term success in this new market required a fresh strategy. PHLY’s Voice of the Customer is a unified platform of five transactional surveys, one unsolicited survey via website, and one annual relationship survey. The company has added to the program in order to gather a well-rounded understanding of the customer’s experience. The program now offers a 360-degree view of the policy lifecycle and gathers feedback at critical touch points regardless of department. “Without this type of feedback it was difficult to truly integrate our customer’s voice. The management team now uses the insight to assist with our strategic direction.” Seth Hall Vice President of Customer Service Driving Action • The location of the online chat facility was improved resulting in a 10% increase in chat usage and reduction in calls • Introduction of a new billing system (the greatest area of customer complaints) which enables agents to better assist customers • The Revenue Retention rate rose to 93% in 2014 while the Account Retention rate now exceeds 90.8% • More than 50,000 customer responses were collected in 2014 • Overall Customer Service Satisfaction Score rose to 94.6% • Employees are recognized through regular “kudos alerts” when they receive very positive feedback from customers. 2524
