CES (Customer Effort Score)

Customer Effort Score

Measure of how easy or difficult customers perceive it to complete an interaction or resolve a need.

Examples

  1. 01After a return is processed, customers rate the effort on a CES scale from 1 to 7, with an average of 5.2.
  2. 02Supervisors review CES by issue type and find that returns without a label are the hardest for customers.
  3. 03Low CES on returns leads to a new printable label, which raises the score to 6.1.
