Simply ask your customers how easy they found their
interaction with you.
There are a couple of ways you can do this…

How to calculate your
customer effort score
C E S
All customer effort scores
Number of customers who responded
= Your CES
How to calculate your
customer effort score
Find out your overall CES by finding the average of all
your customers’ scores:
C E S
So you’ve got your
customer effort score…
Now what?
C E S
So you’ve got your
customer effort score…
96% of customers who had high-effort experiences
reported being disloyal, compared to only 9 percent of
customers with low-effort experiences who reported
being disloyal.
C E S
So you’ve got your
customer effort score…
According to a CEB study, customers who have a CES of
5 (on a 1-7 scale) are 22% more loyal than those with a
score of 1.
Is your customer effort score more or less than 5?
C E S
(on a scale of 1-7)
Poor customer effort score?
Less than 5
C E S
Poor customer effort score?
Less than 5
What this means:
(on a scale of 1-7)
C E S
What you can do:
Poor customer effort score?
Less than 5
C E S
Delve deeper into your processes and see what you
can do to improve customer effort right away.
Are your average first reply times very high? Are there
usually a high number of replies per case? How about
channel switching?
Improving your other metrics should improve your
CES over time.
C E S
What you can do:
Poor customer effort score?
Less than 5
Good customer effort score?
(on a scale of 1-7)
More than 5
C E S
What this means:
Good customer effort score?
More than 5
(on a scale of 1-7)
C E S
This is the most reliable indicator of customer loyalty.
If you’re achieving good customer effort scores,
you’re more likely to get repeat customers.
What this means:
Good customer effort score?
More than 5
C E S
What to do:
Good customer effort score?
More than 5
C E S
Look at instances where customer effort scores are
lower than average, and see what you can do to improve
these areas.
There’s no need to go above and beyond to delight
customers that already have good customer effort
scores.
The same CEB study found that boosting CES from 5 to
7 only increases loyalty by 2%.
