The Different Surveys and Their Definitions

We have the capabilities to export data into Excel files for a variety of surveys that collect essential data for dealer groups. Each survey is designed to measure a unique aspect of your dealership’s performance and customer engagement. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used surveys:

  • Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI): This metric measures how satisfied your customers are with their overall experience at your dealership, including sales and service interactions.
  • Net Promoter Score (NPS): NPS gauges customer loyalty by asking how likely customers are to recommend your dealership to others.
  • Key Performance Indicator (KPI): KPIs are specific metrics that track progress toward achieving your dealership’s goals. These might include sales targets, service completion rates, or customer retention rates.
  • Overall Satisfaction: This survey measures the general satisfaction level of customers with their entire experience, both during and after their visit.
  • Customer Satisfaction Effort (CSE): The CSE measures how easy or difficult it was for customers to resolve issues or complete tasks during their interaction with your dealership.
  • Dealer Recommendation: This survey assesses whether customers would recommend your dealership based on their experience.
  • Composite: This is an aggregate score that combines different customer feedback data, offering a more holistic view of dealership performance.
  • Sales Effectiveness Index (SEI): SEI tracks the efficiency of your sales operations by measuring conversion rates, lead management, and other sales-related metrics.
  • Dealer Satisfaction: This metric focuses on how satisfied dealers are with their interactions with your group and their ability to work with you effectively.
  • Blended Metric – Top Box: This combined score reflects the percentage of customers who rate your dealership’s service or experience at the highest level (e.g., 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale).
  • Dealer Retention: This survey measures how well your dealership retains its customers over time, helping you understand loyalty patterns.
  • Service Retention: This survey focuses on customers who return for service visits, tracking the retention rate and identifying potential areas for improvement.
