Here’s something that might surprise you. Some of your most loyal customers may be the ones who have had problems and complaints in the past. For years, I’ve been preaching that when a customer comes to you with a problem or complaint, the goal is not only to resolve the issue, but also to restore their confidence. I was recently reminded of the concept known as the Service Recovery Paradox.

A customer rating of 3 out of 5 doesn’t tell you much. Was the customer satisfied, indifferent, or just having a bad day? In our article Choose Open-Ended Comments and Conversations Over Rating Scales , we discussed why numbers alone aren’t enough. One powerful way to get more meaningful insights is to ask open-ended questions in your surveys.

The rapid rise of AI-powered displays, touchless technology, and sensory marketing is reshaping the future of in-store engagement. Yet for many retail executives, the real challenge is not identifying new tools - it is knowing which signals to trust, which inputs to prioritize, and how to architect decisions that elevate in-store leadership rather than dilute it.

Despite increasing investment in employee engagement tools, surveys, and HR tech – and more executive pledges to make it a priority, employee experience (EX) remains inconsistent, fragmented, and often misaligned with business outcomes. The root issue? Employee experience is widely misunderstood as HR’s responsibility alone. And, worse yet, HR doesn’t even have EX on their radar!

Reputation is one of the most valuable assets for a business, especially in a world where a single misstep results in an online wildfire of negative sentiment. A 2025 study from Bright Local suggests that up to 98% of consumers read reviews before making a purchase, while 89% expect businesses to respond to all types of reviews. As a result, it’s essential to monitor and manage your brand reputation, engage with customers, and understand the competitive landscape.

In an age where businesses collect more customer data than ever, many still struggle to extract meaningful insight from it. In the words of CX expert Bill Staikos observed, “We are drowning in data and thirsting for customer insights.” This gap exists because raw information alone doesn’t guarantee understanding. Surveys, especially their open-ended questions, unlock a wealth of unstructured feedback.

You’ve designed your NPS survey. You’re asking the right customers, at the right time, in the right way. But what do you do with the results? Too many teams stop at reporting the NPS score. They miss the real point: the NPS score is only the signal, the “why” behind the score is what drives real action. If you want to move up the curve, from Foundational to Mature and eventually Elite, you need to capture, analyze, and share the NPS insights from your customers.

Everything slows down when call volumes rise. Agents struggle to keep up, call queues grow longer, and customers waste little time looking for alternatives to your business. Unless you’re expecting a seasonal spike, a high inbound call volume is far from good news. It’s usually indicative of operational issues, with negative consequences for agent wellbeing and customer satisfaction.

Now that you know what NPS is (and what it isn’t) let’s get practical. The truth is that too many organizations treat NPS as a box to check. They ask “the question,” report the score to the leadership team or board, and move on. But if you don’t get the basics right, you risk collecting biased, unreliable, or flat-out useless data! That’s why the best companies invest time in designing their NPS surveys carefully, so they get feedback they can trust and act on.
