SmileBack has established itself as a reliable and widely-used CSAT tool, with users relying on it to gather customer feedback for every client interaction. This real-time feedback not only provides an indication of performance but also highlights areas that need attention, enabling companies to improve their service delivery and customer care. The seamless integration of SmileBack with ticketing systems like ConnectWise Manage simplifies the feedback process for clients, offering a user-friendly interface and the option to provide additional details if desired.

One of the standout features of SmileBack is its integration with BrightGauge, which enhances visibility into customer feedback and satisfaction metrics for the entire company. This integration allows organizations to closely monitor and analyze satisfaction levels, while keeping records of feedback, follow-up work, and conversations within their ticketing systems. The simplicity of SmileBack's smiley face rating system encourages clients to provide feedback and enables prompt follow-up on any concerns raised. As a result, support teams can quickly assess their performance, address issues, and ultimately strengthen customer relationships based on real-time feedback from clients. Furthermore, SmileBack's reports and insights prove invaluable during customer business reviews, providing crucial information that drives continuous improvement in organizations.

Companies utilizing SmileBack have experienced significant increases in feedback rates compared to previous methods. For instance, one user reported a jump from less than 1% to around 20% feedback rate after implementing SmileBack. This substantial increase in engagement allows businesses to gauge customer satisfaction accurately, measure CSAT scores across the entire company, and identify areas for improvement in various service departments. By leveraging SmileBack's data insights, organizations can also coach employees based on customer responses and proactively address customer needs to strengthen overall service quality.

Overall, SmileBack has become an essential tool for measuring key performance indicators - KPIs - and customer satisfaction outside of traditional business relationship management. Its wide range of applications includes gathering customer ratings for service tickets, tracking CSAT scores, monitoring trends, and following up on neutral or negative responses. By utilizing SmileBack, companies can improve their service delivery, enhance employee performance, and build stronger customer relationships based on real-time feedback and insights.

Users have made several recommendations for the product based on their experiences. One recommendation is to consider customizable feedback icons and widgets, as users believe that having the ability to customize these elements would enhance the user experience and make it more personalized. Another recommendation is to provide more detailed reporting options. While users find the current key performance indicators (KPIs) helpful, they would like to see additional reporting and data/statistics to gain more insights and make informed decisions. Additionally, users suggest trying the product with a free trial to see if it improves response rates. This allows potential customers to experience the effectiveness of the product firsthand before making a purchase decision. Overall, users recommend using this product as they find it effective. They also emphasize the importance of getting it quickly to start benefiting from its features and functionalities.

Overall product works well but is no longer price competitive compared to others. It also is not as feature rich as its competitors any more. It was one of the first to market which was great but has not done much improvements since. Would love to see ability to measure project CSAT and other integrations.

This largely depends on the person asking. What their market and toolset are. If you are a Managed Service Provider/IT Consultant firm that utilizes ConnectWise Manage and you are small or large I think this tool makes a lot of sense. For small folks, because they likely have the margin and need the ease of integration it provides as well as the insights, and large again because you've likely got the cash as well as other toolsets/process and procedure to make up for the lacking features.

This makes less sense for 'tiny' (<3 person companies) and medium-sized businesses. Where the function-to-dollar ratio needs to be as close to perfect at all times. It simply isn't robust enough for those needing more help in other customer-service related areas that competitors have additional tools for at the same cost level. Or just outright too expensive for people just starting out.

Great for providing feedback on a ticket by ticket basis directly from our end users. We use it internally on overhead displays to let the techs see where they are compared to all of our other technicians. The area it is lacking is getting direct feedback from client executives or decision-makers.

SmileBack is especially useful for service providers of many fields (it works well for our field of IT support). Scenarios, where it would be less appropriate, would be for getting a feel for a specific member of the client's staff (i.e. C-Level staff -- if they don't fill the surveys out or request support, SmileBack would not show us how they feel towards us as a company).

It is well suited for our clients at schools. It is easy to use and only takes a minute to select the proper response. It is well suited for our other clients as well since it is so simple. We appreciate the feedback and strive to see only smiling faces.

SmileBack is well suited to gather customer feedback at the end of a process or project. Whether it's the final step before closing out a project, at the end of various stages or once a ticket is solved, it allows internal teams to find out what they did well, if a customer felt neutral about the service provided, or if there is room for improvement. In any data-driven company, SmileBack is a key tool to leverage for reporting and department KPIs.

  • For customer relationship management software like ConnectWise where you would like to gauge customer satisfaction with interaction.
  • Any help desk scenario where you want the customer to easily be able to rate performance.

SmileBack is a sufficient solution for gaining an insight as to how the customer perceives our business. It was not a surprise to me when we had a customer move to another MSP after a few months of poor feedback scores. We can also easily see which customers rate us the highest and would rate our business highly.
