Improving Customer Experience for a Telecom Provider

How a mid-size telecom used CX research to cut churn and turn NPS into a retention story

Scroll

Challenge

A mid-size telecom provider served residential and small-business customers across several regions. Churn was rising and NPS had stalled. Leadership wanted to know which parts of the experience drove loyalty—and which drove defection—so they could invest in the right fixes instead of guessing.

Surveys were already in place, but results lived in silos. Product, care, and marketing each had their own dashboards. No one had connected experience drivers to actual retention or revenue. The company needed a single, evidence-based view of what to improve first.

Approach

We designed a customer experience research program that linked survey data to behavioral and commercial data. We identified which drivers had the strongest impact on NPS and retention, then quantified the revenue at risk from underperforming touchpoints. We ran driver and segmentation analysis so the client could prioritize initiatives by impact.

Solution

We delivered a driver-led roadmap.

We built a matched dataset of survey responses and customer outcomes (retention, revenue, tenure). We ran regression and driver analysis to rank experience factors by their effect on NPS and churn. We then produced an executive-ready roadmap: which journeys to fix first, which segments to protect, and what metrics to track. Implementation timeline: 10 weeks from kickoff to final workshop.

Fin.

Experience research only pays off when it’s tied to behavior and revenue. They now had both.
