Choosing The Right Format

Both CSAT and NPS survey formats boil your customer support metrics down to one easy to track and report on number. Using a single question and optional narrative feedback, you can quickly gain valuable insights into your customers.

The CSAT format is versatile because it allows you to ask customers a variety of questions and develop a valuable score. The CSAT system is perfect for measuring customer support interactions. CSAT surveys use a 5 value scale that is then divided into two segments, satisfied and unsatisfied. The CSAT score is then caculated as the percentage of satisfied

NPS surveys (developed by Fred Reichheld) use a 11 point scale that is then divided into three sections.

• (0–6) — Detractors
• (7–8) — Passives
• (9–10) — Promoters

The NPS score is then then calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. The final score can range anywhere from -100 to 100 with the higher the number being better. The NPS survey format has become the gold standard for identifying trends in customer experience with your product.

With HelpSpot’s integration, you can now distribute Thermostat surveys automatically based on customer activity through HelpSpot triggers and
automations. You can also automatically add customers to Thermostat’s ongoing campaigns that regularly survey your customer base to keep tabs on their satisfaction with your product. In addition, results from your customers are synced with HelpSpot and can be filtered and viewed inside of HelpSpot, alongside the rest of your request data.
