Gold Satisfaction Research™

Customers engage with your business in person, over the phone, and, increasingly, over the internet. Their experiences, good and bad, give rise to positive or negative emotions. Positive emotions lead to satisfaction with your business, which translates into loyalty, which in turn translates into more business plus advocacy for your offerings in the market place. Negative emotions result in the exact opposite and are detrimental to your business health. Understanding which touch-points in your business drive positive and negative emotions among customers is critical in navigating through challenging times and growing your business.

An equally vital aspect of your business is your employees. They ensure that your products and services are developed and delivered as you intended. More importantly, they can have a significant impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Your employees’ satisfaction and happiness are therefore vital to your business success, and emotions are again the key.

At Gold Research, Inc., we focus on emotions when measuring customer and employee satisfaction.

We understand that customer and employee issues keep changing and evolving over time, so we look for two types of insights when interpreting satisfaction and loyalty data:

• Tactical Insights: are actionable and can be implemented right away for immediate effect; and
• Strategic Insights: are long-term changes that might take longer but are needed to more fundamentally improve customer or employee satisfaction.

For your customer and employee research needs, we offer:
