Companies are investing more in tools and technologies that will help them understand customers deeply. With the realization that it is 6 – 7 times more expensive to acquire customers than to retain them, companies are shifting their focus on the existing customers.
The most effective way to improve retention and loyalty is by delivering an exceptional customer experience. For years, companies relied on surveys to generate data on customer preference & behavior, which they used to track their CX performance. However, as customers’ needs changed, companies realized that survey data was not enough.
Companies are now investing in a more advanced approach that takes full advantage of all the available data from internal and external sources.

Today, companies have access to a data pool on customer interactions, transactions, and profiles; customer attitudes, purchase behaviors and preferences, social media activity; and new data sets generated by the Internet of Things.

Brands require a comprehensive view of the entire customer experience & journey. They also need to be able to dig deep and obtain granular details of what drives customers’ purchase decisions & nuances of customer behavior. While surveys are the simplest way to interact with customers directly and gather their opinions, surveys are still flawed because they fail to unveil the root cause of customer sentiment.
Predictive analytics helps companies go deeper, understand, and track the key drivers in customer satisfaction. Predictive analytics uses ML & AI to assign scores to individual customers. It enables brands to predict what customers want or may want before even customers realize what they want. It also empowers brands to forecast issues in the customer journey or CX before it escalates. Advanced analytics empowers companies to gain a competitive advantage and discover growth opportunities.
