Insight into Action
TLF Gems
01/11/21 • -1 min
Greg and Stephen talk about turning research insight into action to improve the customer experience, based on Greg’s recent webinar.
Action is hard not because it’s unclear what needs to happen, but because of the power of the status quo. The decisions you make before and during your survey can be more important than what you do with it afterwards.

It’s another interview episode, the first of a two-parter with qualitative researcher and semiotician Chris Barnham.
In part 1 Chris gives an in-depth overview of the field, and explains his view that the theory of semiotics advanced by Charles Peirce can be be more helpful than Saussurian semiotics when it comes to understanding how consumers create brand meaning.
Focusing on individual customers, rather than cultural codes, means that semiotics combined with qualitative research can be used to understand how brand meanings are created, and how they change and evolve over time.
Next time we’ll discuss the applications of semiotics to customer experience.

Stephen and Greg chat about benchmarking customer survey scores, picking up on some of the points in Greg’s webinar on the subject.

Greg and Stephen catch up with TLF Research Client Manager Vicki Harris to talk about the impact of the pandemic and lockdown on customer experience and ways of working, with a particular eye on the social housing sector in the UK.
Along the way we talk about the power of “moments of kindness” in a crisis, wonder about how to make sure we remember to look for those moments when things return to a “new normal”, and discuss what the future may look like as ways of working change and customer priorities shift.

We got there! Thanks to anyone who’s been with us all the way from Chapter 1 (and if you haven’t, feel free to back and start at the beginning!)
In the final chapter we discuss how getting your research design right makes your analysis and outcomes easier, why you still need to work hard to build bridges between insight and action, and how it changes as you rise up the league table. We wonder if it’s harder for public companies to take a long term view of the customer and, if so, what we might be able to do about that.

To use satisfaction data strategically, you need to understand how to link it to internal performance and customer behaviour. Those links often turn out to be non-linear, and understanding that can be crucial to seeing the value of investing in the customer experience.
Greg and Stephen discuss how to think strategically about customer satisfaction, the value of delight, and whether detractors may be easier to turn into promoters than passives are.

One of the best things about establishing a robust customer satisfaction survey process is that it will give you a good measure of how your performance changes over time.
Greg and Stephen discuss what you should measure, how often, and what sample sizes you need to reach reliable conclusions. Along the way they discuss butterflies and barnacles, how long it takes customer perceptions to change, and the danger of weaving narratives around volatile survey results.
