Description
In today’s fiercely competitive life science market, an effective and efficient customer experience is the key to success. It’s a golden opportunity for suppliers to differentiate themselves and stand out in a crowded marketplace to expand their relationships with current customers, while building new relationships with prospective customers. As consumers continue to elevate their expectations, understanding customer experience beyond mere product performance and price enables suppliers to identify areas of improvement and pinpoint where competitors are leading the way.
To help suppliers better navigate the intricacies of customer experience in the life science industry, we designed a study to deliver actionable insights to suppliers looking to improve their customer experience strategy. The outcome is our newest report, Benchmarking for 2023: Understanding the Life Science Customer Experience.
This study offers in-depth analysis of the performance of 28 different suppliers across multiple years (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) of customer experience benchmarking, allowing for analysis of how supplier strategies have shaped customer experience scores over time and how individual suppliers compare to their competitors over time.
In the 2023 edition, we asked 786 scientists to evaluate their experience with suppliers during specific touchpoints including the evaluation of products, selection and usage of products, and customer support after the sale. Two new attributes were added to the Product Selection touchpoint this year to probe satisfaction with product inventory, shipping updates, and on-time delivery.
The report includes a Tableau workbook and will allow you to:
- Uncover and compare single and multi-year customer experience performances for 28 top-tier brands.
- Explore the intricacies of customer experience at different touchpoints, single and multi-year trends.
- Gain clarity on the relative significance of attributes that drive customer satisfaction across 28 brands.
- Discern regional nuances in customer experience trends.
- Track generational shifts in customer experience expectations.
- Investigate how various employment sectors influence customer experience trends.
The Tableau workbook is fully interactive, and can be used to export charts for presentations, further research, or other needs. This will allow you to target your benchmarking to your customers. Want only to see YOUR company’s information and survey responses and produce a report? You can do that. Want to compare your company against a few competitors? Use Tableau for this function.
