36 Practical Tips to Elevate Your Experience Program

"Chasing survey scores and lagging indicators is not our idea of a modern approach to improving experiences. Instead, we partner with InMoment to identify key moments that matter in our customers’ journey’s and drive change in those areas. This approach gives our executives better metrics to run the business and elevates our results.”

About three years ago, the NRMA teamed up with InMoment to start looking into its customers’ emotions for the first time. To get started, the CX team included more than 10 hard-coded emotion questions within member surveys asking both open-ended and ratings-based questions. This gave the business a solid foundation of comparison when beginning to use the emotions product in text analytics.

When we first selected InMoment, we had a fantastic and smooth experience transitioning from the sales process to our client success team. We were really impressed by the kick-off meeting, the accessibility and the dedication we received from the whole process. We were so impressed, that we are taking that experience and trying to replicate it across our own relationship management at legalsuper!

To increase survey response rates, InMoment created a Line App link which is a free instant messaging platform commonly used by Taiwanese populations—this did the trick, and the business saw a spike in responses. After data was collected, the InMoment Platform analysed customer feedback, and produced critical insights which pointed to specific improvement areas to build customer retention and loyalty.

When Craveables launched its VoC program, it knew it would result in a major cultural shift. Because, even though the team knew customer feedback was important, the legacy actions and historic focuses taught stakeholders to avoid feedback. After the VoC launch, Craveables has progressed with its goals. The brand was even able to launch a VoFP (Voice of Franchise Partner) to collect feedback from another valuable voice. Since launch, the brand has seen a response rate +60% and some obvious (and not so obvious insights).

Downer NZ has historically focused on understanding their B2B customer experiences (VoC), while at the same time also understanding their employee experience (VoE)—however, the two programs were not linked until recently. Downer NZ realised that the two programs have more power for insights and shifting experiences if they linked and evolved them together through a modern integration of both customer and employee experience improvement.
