Measuring Customer Effort
• “How much effort did you personally have to put forth to handle your
request?”
– 1 to 5 scale, 1 = Very Low Effort, 5 = Very High Effort
• Customer Effort Scores (CES) is proving to be a more effective
determinant of customer loyalty than satisfaction scores (CSAT)
• Ultimately, companies need to measure the effort involved in the
end-to-end customer journey
– But most start by measuring effort for assisted and unassisted support

Friction Points Driving Up Customer Effort
Assisted Support
• Finding contact information
• Phone tree navigation
• Hold time
• Entitlement process
• Technical knowledge of agent
• Complexity of recovery procedures
• Talk time/Resolution time
Unassisted Support
• Finding self-service options
• Single signon?
• Unified search?
• Screen design/layout
• Tools/routes to find content
• Content filtered for my account
• Content formats (text vs. video)
4
You can’t identify friction points—or get well plans—in a vacuum.
Customer surveys/focus groups are required.

1. Start with the customer journey
– A lot of vendors have their own pre-conceived version of your customers’ journey, but is it true?
2. Focus on friction points for the more complex interactions
– Transition points across systems or processes are good candidates
3. Develop & optimize specific use cases
– E.g. embedded support, contextual guidance, singular omni-channel experience, continuous optimization
4. Measure what matters to you
– It’s not CES vs. CSAT vs. NPS
– Some companies phrase the CES qualifying question differently: How easy is it to do business with the
company?
– Some others are trying to link Customer Effort to Net Promoter Score: Based on the effort required to do
business with us, how likely are you to recommend our company?
