Customer Happiness – March 2016 April 4, 2016 19:00

Our happiness reports let everyone get a look at how our customer service performs in a given month, and today we’ll be looking at March’s metrics.

Our goals for the month were to increase happiness and satisfaction ratings, along with maintaining average response times. While we met the goal for satisfaction ratings, we weren’t able to meet our goals for response times.

Here’s how March compared to our our February report:

Number % Change
Customers Helped 474 increased 5%
Conversations Opened 485 decreased 10%
Happiness Rating 97% decreased 1%
Satisfaction Rating 100% increased 2%
Average Time to First Reply 11h 32m increased 46%
Average Replies per Conversation 3.01 no change
Average Response Time 11h 13m increased 21%
Percent Replies within 12hr 80% decreased 1%

Upsides

We helped far more merchants this month, and despite this increase, we still saw satisfaction ratings go back to 100%. While happiness ratings didn’t see an increase, we’re still maintaining a high happiness rate.

Downsides

We had a few team members attend the Shopify Unite conference in March, and as a result, our average response times dropped a bit with the rest of the team needing to jump into support. With fewer conversations overall this month, this isn’t something that should have happened.

Goals

Response times will be our focus of April, along with getting back to 100% happiness for customer ratings. After having improved these in our last happiness report, a dip in response times was definitely a setback we’ll be addressing this month.
