Do you know what your customers really think about your company? You won’t know if you don’t ask. Customer feedback for logistics and transportation companies can help you see where it excels, where there is room for growth and what needs to be done to continue the business relationship.

Gauging customer satisfaction and measuring customer experience in a B2B environment is more challenging than in B2C. Your business transactions are much more complex. You have also invested more time and energy in landing your customers as compared to a B2C company.

Partnering with The Daniel Group allows you to collect the information you need to grow your company, continue to offer a high-quality experience to your clients, and find ways to improve your services and approach so you can improve the overall customer experience.

Why Customer Experience Matters Now to the Transportation and Logistics Industry

Why should you check in with your customers and gather their feedback? The logistics industry is competitive and it’s only going to become more competitive. Increased manufacturing demand also makes the logistics and transportation industry more competitive.

Collecting feedback from your existing customers will help you know where you need to make improvements. Gauging customer experience and satisfaction levels helps you see where you can make adjustments so you can better retain existing customers and increase sales with those customers. You can move your business relationship from vendor to partner. Taking the time to check-in with your clients and get their feedback can also make them more likely to refer your company.

What Does The Daniel Group Have to Offer?

At this point, you might be ready to jump in and start a customer experience program, or you might be interested in presenting the idea to other decision-makers at your company during the next meeting. Perhaps you’ve tried to collect feedback in the past, but it didn’t quite work out the way you wanted. Customers might not have responded to your queries, or maybe they responded too slowly. They may have found the questions you asked confusing or irrelevant.

Whether you’re launching a new customer experience program or need help reviving a stagnant one, you want to turn to a company that has years of experience and expertise in the field. The Daniel Group only works with B2B companies and has three decades of experience crafting customer feedback and survey programs. We’re ready to help your company get started with customer experience or expand an existing program.

Transportation and Logistics Customer Experience: Whether it is a phone, email, or hybrid feedback collection approach, we design a program that works for your company

Our goal is to help you use what you gather from customer surveys to design a better customer experience for your clients. A combination of industry knowledge, an experienced team, actionable insights, and a focus on best practices allow us to help you.

Actionable Insights: Data You Can Use

Conducting surveys and performing interviews are only the beginning steps to take along the customer experience journey. The next phase is to figure out what to do with the information you’ve gathered. When a customer rates their satisfaction level at a 6 or 7, what does that 6 or 7 mean? Our analysts ask questions in follow up that get the customer to dig deeper and ultimately provide you with actionable insight.

We seek to discover the “why” behind the customer’s experience. We ask respondents to provide a numerical rating on a scale of 1 to 10. Next, we go deeper. We’ll ask what they think went well during their most recent transaction. Were they happy with response time? Do they feel that your company appropriately addressed all of their concerns?

During each survey, our analysts categorize customers’ comments, which helps you quickly see where you’re doing well and where there is potentially room for improvement. Some of the categories our team are likely to use include:

  • Ease of contact
  • Knowledge and professionalism
  • Responsiveness of your company

Transportation and Logistics Customer Experience: Once completed, the survey information is provided immediately to your front-line managers.

If you know exactly where there’s room for growth and improvement, you can focus on those areas. Making changes to your operations based on what customers say helps you prove to them that you value the relationship. Over time, it will help to increase their loyalty to you and potentially make them more likely to refer business associates and colleagues to your company.

How Do You Know If It Is Time to Consider ExperienceConnect?

ExperienceConnect is The Daniel Group’s customer experience management platform. It’s a secure, cloud-based robust feedback-as-a-service platform that provides a complete view of your organization, particularly your progress with customer experience. The platform incorporates two of The Daniel Group’s primary services: customer feedback and employee feedback. There are multiple benefits to using ExperienceConnect that can help you determine if the software platform is the right choice for your manufacturers, business and technology, transportation and logistics, or  industrial equipment company. Before looking at the specifics of the software program, let’s take a look at a few signs that it might be time to consider implementing a customer feedback program in the first place.

Using ExperienceConnect can illuminate your customer’s thoughts and feelings to you. If you’re not sure how your clients view a particular service or whether they wish your company was doing something better, the platform can provide for you.

Often, logistics and transportation companies begin using ExperienceConnect and start working with The Daniel Group after trying to implement their own in-house feedback program. If you aren’t getting results from your current feedback and survey program, it can be helpful to try something new.

Features and benefits of ExperienceConnect include:

  • Customizable: ExperienceConnect is meant to be tailored to your company’s specific needs and to your current budget. You can start with one level of service and scale up when and if needed. You can also use your brand’s logo with the platform. You have the option of adjusting survey type and frequency as needed, too.
  • Integrates with your CRM: ExperienceConnect can connect with pretty much any customer relationship management program, including SalesForce, ACT, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics.
  • Robust Reporting: The platform lets you download your data to Excel and allows you to track KPIs or improvements based on location.
  • Real-time access to survey data: Using ExperienceConnect, you can listen to the surveys our analysts conducted with your customers and read their feedback. You also have the chance to respond directly to concerns and issues brought up in the surveys.
  • Relationship surveys: Although you might initially want to collect information and feedback after a single transaction, with ExperienceConnect, you have the option of taking a “big picture approach” to get a sense of customers’ impressions over multiple interactions. Relationship surveys help you evaluate the strength of your company’s relationships with individual clients, allowing you to do damage control or work on mending a fractured relationship.

Finally, if you’re looking for a way to set your company apart from others in the logistics and transportation industry, using a dedicated customer experience platform can help. You can track your results and see improvement in real-time so you can stay on target when it comes to reaching your customer satisfaction and customer experience goals.
