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.

We used SmileBack as our sole CSAT tool for many years. As a managed service provider feedback from our clients is very important so we would send a request for feedback through this tool for every interaction with each of our clients every time!
With this tool, we were able to get a feeling for both the general mood of our client-base as a whole as well as individually. This improves our approach both to the service delivery as well as the attention to care based on our clients' feedback. It immeasurably improves our relationship with our clients.

It is used to get customer feedback on support tickets. Before SmileBack, we were using email replies for follow up with less than 10% feedback. With SmileBack, we are gett more than 30% feedback. It is much easier for customers to reply and leave a quick comment on service.

We use SmileBack to get feedback on our technicians directly from the users that they support. This allows us to stay current on the overall feeling of our services at each of our clients. It also has presented us with new opportunities to measure our technician's success and to reward them when they exceed our benchmarks.

We use SmileBack to gauge customer satisfaction on a service ticket basis and it is part of our weekly/monthly/quarterly scorecard metrics and we monitor trends and follow up on responses that are neutral or negative. It provides us with an easy analysis of our day to day service and customer happiness.

Our company sends out surveys through SmileBack with every ticket that is closed through ConnectWise Manage. I like how it is a real time indication of how we are doing and what needs to be addressed. I also like the simplicity of it for our clients. They can be more detailed if they prefer.

SmileBack is used throughout our entire company.

We are allowing our customers to easily rate their experience, and before SmileBack it was a laborious task and we got very few responses. With SmileBack our response rate is up 43%!

At Orchestra Software, we utilize SmileBack to gather customer satisfaction data once we've resolved a support ticket via Zendesk. Currently, our Customer Support department is the only team to be using SmileBack, and thus far we've been loving it! SmileBack has allowed us to gather feedback more quickly, simply and with less interruption to our busy customers.

We use SmileBack's integration with ConnectWise to request feedback from service desk customers. As soon as a technician closes out a ticket that user is asked to review their experience. It's addressing any lack of completion or poor customer service issues. It allows us to establish a trend and establish organization-wide goals for customer satisfaction.

We use SmileBack surveys through our ticketing system (ConnectWise Manage). Everytime our helpdesk closes a ticket, an e-mail is sent to the ticket contact and they can select from the 3 smiley faces and leave comments. We get notified if the client is unhappy. Also, this integrates with BrightGauge so that we can see the survey results along with other service metrics important to us. Not only does our helpdesk use this to gauge feedback but the whole company sees this on our displays and management loves it! Because of the integration of SmileBack into BrightGauge, we get even more visibility into our customers' feedback!

SmileBack is our company's primary customer feedback tool, we use this to provide KPI measurements and customer satisfaction results outside of our business relationship management. Our goal with SmileBack was to Identify customers that were unhappy and required a little more love, at the same time this data allows me to incentivise my staff.

We use the software to measure the satisfaction our clients have with our services. We have increased the level of feedback we receive immensely. By integrating with our ticketing system (ConnectWise) we are able to keep the record of the feedback with the ticket, along with any follow-up work or conversations.

After 10 years using a question and answer surveying system with a response time of less than 1% we decided to move to SmileBack and the day after our implementation we started receiving around 20% feedback. Our organisation started reaping the benefits of surveying from day one!

SmileBack is used by our support team to collect and analyse satisfaction data. We originally implemented it to gain insight into how our support team was doing not just in raw ticket numbers and sales but in how satisfied our customers were.

This means we can address issues quickly as clients are typically quicker to use the review system than send an email, as I think it is a lot easier than trying to find the correct escalation path.

SmileBack is being used to assess the effectiveness of our support departments interactions with our clients. It allows immediate feedback to come to my team for excellence in support and for clients to provide negative feedback in a way that can be addressed immediately.

We use SmileBack attached to our ticketing system in order to track our client satisfaction. When a ticket is closed our clients are given the opportunity to rate the experience. The survey itself is pretty straight forward and I find people are more willing to answer a survey with only 3 options over a numerical rating system. We are able to quickly reach out to clients and address any concerns in the rare instances we receive a neutral or negative review so we can work on maintaining a strong positive connection to our clients. We are able to combine the ratings as well with our performance reviews and employee incentives.

We use SmileBack to measure customer satisfaction of tickets we work through different tiers and departments within our company. We are improving customer satisfaction by taking action on their reviews. We improve our employees through coaching on customer responses and we strengthen our relationships with our customers by listening to what makes them happy and what doesn't.
