As Customer Thermometer has grown, one of the markets in which we are most popular is the help desk customer satisfaction survey space. Help desk and service desk customers from right across the world have found Customer Thermometer and have been swapping their existing old-fashioned long form surveys to single click surveys. We are honored to serve this huge volume of users and continually add new features and services to support their growing businesses.
Our focus in the help desk area started when we launched our Embedded Thermometer option. Since then, we’ve been working really hard to ensure that, whatever customer support system you use, we can help both the agents and managers of help desks to get better and more actionable customer insight.
Multi-question surveys for help desks don’t work
If you are using customer satisfaction surveys within your help desk tool, which look similar to the one below, then it’s quite likely your response rates are sub 5%. It’s also quite likely that you’re getting a negative response bias – the customers who do respond, are responding because they’re really disappointed / angry and want to vent their frustration.
The example above was provided to us by a customer, who’s since moved to Customer Thermometer and seen a complete turn around in their feedback.
Here some key reasons why it’s hard to get feedback from your help desk tickets:
- If they have had to raise a ticket or contact you then you are already taking time out their day. Completing your survey introduces an additional burden.
- Many customers won’t make the effort required to fill in a survey unless they are extremely motivated to do so.
- If a customer is busy then providing feedback after a successfully handled support interaction is not likely to be a priority for them. They’ll want to get back to work.
- Most built-in surveys send an additional email, meaning your customer has to deal with even more email during an already-stressed interaction.
Why do Customer Thermometer 1-click surveys work so well?
Our help desk customer satisfaction survey options mean you can embed Customer Thermometer right into the emails you send, whichever system you’re using.
That way, customers can feed back to you right from within the email you send them.
- It makes it simple for them to click and respond
- It respects their time by causing them minimum effort
- It all takes place within a single email, meaning they don’t get overwhelmed by email
- Customers are actually happy to give feedback, if the mechanism is right and it’s timely
- You won’t get a negative-bias in your results
- Your help desk agents get to see how they are being rated
- You get to reward / coach your agents for their performance
- You get real time, identifiable feedback you can take action on
- You can tie feedback back to ticket IDs
- You get to be transparent with your results (click to see our own stream of live ticket ratings, given by our customers)
Customer Thermometer takes literally minutes to integrate into the world’s leading help desk solutions and customer support apps.
By adding our feedback buttons to your help desk’s existing email workflows and automations, you can get real-time, trackable customer feedback about the quality of support you’re providing.
Our service has helped many MSPs and Customer Support professionals increase their survey response rates by up to 10x.
