Dwell Time Just Doubled. Here’s the Story Most Retailers Would Have Missed

September 24, 2026 10:57 pm

A retail case study tracked over several months on ShopperTrak Analytics’ Video AI platform found something most dashboards would have missed: average dwell time nearly doubled, from around four and a half minutes to eight and a half, while draw rate softened slightly. Julian Barton and David King unpack why the shift is real, not noise, what it means for staffing during power hours, and why traffic data only tells half the story until it is paired with the real, unscripted voice of customers on the floor

The CX Growth Engine: Why Six Pillars Beat One Score

September 20, 2026 2:06 pm

Most Voice of Customer programs are excellent at producing a score. Far fewer know what to do with it once they have one. This article breaks down the six pillars we use at Feedback ASAP to turn customer feedback into an actual growth program, not just a number that gets reported up the chain each month. It covers the seven moments that build advocacy, the four-stage operating model behind it, and why NPS still matters, just not on its own.

Advocacy, not NPS, as the real driver of business growth

Advocacy, Not NPS, Is Your Real Growth Lever

September 14, 2026 2:34 pm

NPS tells you what already happened. Advocacy tells you what happens next. Phil Prosser, CEO and Founder of Feedback ASAP, makes the case that advocacy, not a satisfaction score, is the real lever behind sustainable growth. Referred customers cost next to nothing to acquire, stay longer, and spend more, yet most CX programs still chase a single dashboard number instead of the behaviour that actually drives it. This article sets out why NPS alone cannot carry the weight businesses put on it, what genuinely builds advocacy at the frontline, and how the shift from measuring sentiment to building recommendation changes the growth conversation entirely

Customer Retention Strategy: Why Keeping Customers Beats Chasing New Ones

September 12, 2026 6:37 am

Acquiring a new customer costs more than keeping one you already have. That’s not new information, yet most marketing budgets still chase acquisition while the customers already on the books go unattended.

Most people who leave a brand don’t leave over price. PwC’s 2025 Customer Experience Survey found over half of consumers stopped buying from a brand after a bad experience, and almost a third left over poor service specifically. These are fixable problems, but only if frontline teams get the feedback in time to act on it.

A customer retention strategy that works isn’t a loyalty program bolted on after the sale. It’s genuine service quality, backed by real-time feedback and frontline behaviour that changes because of it. Track repeat purchase rate and lifetime value, but track churn reasons too. That’s where retention becomes a culture, not just a number to report on.

Customer feedback framework answering why, what, how and who for CX programs

Why, What, How, Who: The Four Questions Every CX Program Must Answer

September 8, 2026 10:03 am

Most CX programs can tell you a score moved. Almost none can tell you why it moved, what caused it, how to fix it, or who needs to act by when. This article sets out the customer feedback framework we use at Feedback ASAP to answer all four questions, for every team, every week, so customer insight turns into frontline behaviour change instead of another report nobody reads. It is the same thinking behind One Voice, our improvement engine, and the reason we say most CX programs measure. We improve.

Customer experience case study: telco retail team member coaching using feedback data

Telco Retailer Case Study

September 7, 2026 6:21 pm

A national telco retailer had NPS sitting in an acceptable range for years, nothing alarming, nothing improving either. The real gap wasn’t measurement, the business already had plenty of data. It was action: nobody could tell an individual team member exactly what to do differently today. Feedback ASAP’s Customer-Led Performance Improvement System changed that, giving every team member their own results and their own single priority, linked directly to sales KPIs. Six years on, NPS has climbed from 60 to 83 with no plateau, and upsell rate is up 81% over the same period. This case study looks at what happens when a large store network stops treating customer feedback as a report and starts treating it as a daily habit.

NPS moved from 43 to 74 in under eight months, a 72% gain.

Health Clinic Group Case Study

August 31, 2026 2:17 am

A national health clinic group had solid satisfaction scores, but bookings had flattened and referrals slowed. The issue wasn’t clinical quality, it was the experience around the visit. Feedback ASAP’s real-voice system captured patient sentiment after each visit, giving managers clear, personalised priorities. In twelve months, NPS rose from 65 to 87, a 34% gain, with bookings up 27%
