In today’s competitive market, it’s not enough to just launch good products or services what matters most is how customers feel about them. This is why Customer Satisfaction Surveys are vital for businesses of all sizes. They help you understand, improve, and strengthen your relationship with customers.

What Are Customer Satisfaction Surveys?

Customer satisfaction surveys are tools used to gather genuine feedback from your customers about their experience with your products or services. Usually, these surveys ask simple questions like:

• How satisfied are you with our service?

• Would you recommend us to others?

One common metric used is the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which ranges from 0–10 and measures the likelihood of customers recommending your brand. Scores help categorize customers into promoters, passives, and detractors.
