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.

  • PSA/CMS integration, specifically ConnectWise Manage
  • SmileBack works very well as a standalone tool as well, very clean aesthetics with the ability to cut up data in many ways.
  • Simple interface and guidance on utilizing the tool help newcomers
  • Features in general are lacking compared to its competitors.
  • Price feels off to me as a result. Despite lacking some of the features/customizations of others they are among the priciest overall.

  • Charts and graphs that make it easy for us to share our results internally and also externally when meeting with clients and potential clients.
  • SmileBack provides a fun set of metrics that our techs can be proud of -- by measuring customer satisfaction and seeing these surveys (especially those with comments) - it really provides them with satisfaction of a job well done!
  • SmileBack makes it easy to search and filter by the client or by tech (agent) or date range.
  • One thing we'd love to see SmileBack add to their list of date filtering is a rolling 12 months option.

  • SmileBack is fun! Who doesn't love to click a smiley face as a way to describe their experience? It brings more emotion into the mix, which in turn has garnered better and more robust customer responses.
  • SmileBack is simple! Step 1: Click a face (smiley | neutral | sad) Step 2: Write a brief description of experience (optional) Step 3: Submit!
  • SmileBack provides instant feedback! As a leader, it's important for me to be on top of the pulse of our business and customers. SmileBack sends me notifications when a customer leaves our team a note. I can immediately address concerns if I need to, and more importantly can pass on kudos right away! Talk about a mood booster!
  • Honestly, I can't find any room for improvement with SmileBack at this time. For what it is designed to do, it is simple, fast and convenient. Just what we were looking for so our customers can drop us a note and get back to making great beer!

  • The simplicity of the feedback mechanism increases the chance of our clients leaving it, which gives us more chance to improve the service we provide.
  • The integration with ConnectWise links it all together so we can see the full record, the feedback, and any actions taken after it was recieved.
  • Not a big fan of the most recent interface redesign

  • Review collection: Most of our clients, once aware of the system submit a fair number of responses to the surveys sent out
  • Analytics: We can clearly see using the inbuilt tools trends of clients that are unhappy / happy
  • Only issue would be the view of who actually worked on a ticket, but this is more an issue of internal process that something that the smileback app would necessarily solve.

  • SmileBack customer support and implementation are fantastic! They are extremely responsive and pleasant to work with.
  • Providing a simplified way for a client/customer to respond regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of our support or alert us of any issues.
  • The ease of accessing data/reports to compare client-by-client, time periods, and/or technicians within our company.
  • In the review area it is not possible to select a data range and save it - it must be selected each time. For example, I want to see 'this month' only when I initially open it - this must be chosen at each log in. Saved ranges by user would be awesome!

  • SmileBack has a very good, easy to use dashboard. Their reporting is simple and effective.
  • I particularly like how easy it is to see user comments and response to the survey's being sent.
  • The users really like how quick and easy it is to provide direct feedback without complicated response mechanism or lengthy questions.
  • I would like to see a mobile app developed soon allowing managers and users of the tool be able to have access to the management portal.
