In order to stay competitive in deregulated markets, utilities must regularly monitor customer experience (CX) ratings. Zpryme offers the Utility Response report described below to provide a benchmark to that effort.
This quarterly report is designed to track customer experience (CX) approval ratings within the utility sector, and also to provide a cross-industry CX rating among 10 industries. Non-utility industries often provide a bellwether to utilities regarding technological trends that are likely to bear on and influence utility customer satisfaction ratings.
In the March 2021 survey, based on 1-5 scale, the following industries enjoyed the highest CX ratings: primary health care offices (3.95), banking (3.90), and online shopping (3.89). Utilities ranked 5th (3.69) out of 10 industries analyzed. Looking to those industries may inform utility decision-making on products, services, and practices to provide their customers.
