When you might need this?
Scenario 1

A global manufacturer of insulation materials notices an alarming drop in repeat orders from its biggest distributors. Faced with fierce competition and a complex distributor network, they realize they need deeper insights into how satisfied their current customers truly are—and what factors might be driving them into competitors’ arms. By conducting a focused Customer Satisfaction Research, they aim to pinpoint critical areas of improvement and develop targeted strategies to safeguard existing key accounts.

FAQ
-
Can USP benchmark the results of a customer satisfaction research with competitors and/or similar industries?
Yes, as a specialized market research agency specializing in the construction, installation, and home improvement market segments, we can benchmark the results of your customer satisfaction research with results from adjacent or relevant industries and, depending on the research set-up, also with direct competitors.
-
What type of methodology does USP use when it comes to customer satisfaction studies?
This depends, of course, on your wishes! USP can conduct customer satisfaction studies both via online surveys and research by phone. In many cases, our principles have sufficient online contact details to conduct a survey online, but sometimes the response rate is too low or the database is too small. In these cases, USP can also conduct the interviews by phone.
-
Can USP run a customer satisfaction research in multiple countries at the same time?
Yes, one of the added values of working with USP, besides our three decades of experience in the construction, installation, and home improvement segments, is that we can run our research projects in multiple countries simultaneously, utilizing the same methodology and questionnaire (of course in native languages).
