control, lack of consistency in standards, or other major weaknesses.

Customer Loss Review Survey Case Study

A national chain of entertainment properties employed NBRI to study the psychological constructs of its customer base. Revenues had been steadily declining over the previous 18 months, although new customers were being added on a steady basis.

NBRI recommended the use of its standard customer loss review survey. It was believed that surveying former customers would provide more pointed data than might be obtained from present customers. The survey was deployed by telephone to a small, stratified, random sample of customers, and a 99% Confidence Level was obtained.

The NBRI Root Cause Analysis provided keen insight into the thinking of the target population. The root cause driving down customer's intent to return, customer loyalty, and customer satisfaction, along with 68% of all survey items, was "wait time". Clearly, wait time was of utmost importance and needed to be minimized in every area of the business affecting the customer.

Following NBRI recommendations, swift interventions to the root cause alone were put into place. Within only 4 months following the analysis of the customer survey results, the scores of all items driven by the root cause were performing as Strengths, at or above the 75th percentile of the NBRI normative database. This directly, positively impacted revenues, and reversed the trend of the previous months.


Over the last decade, Corporate America has awakened to the benefits of customer loyalty and retention. Many companies are committing substantial resources for the purposes of retaining customers and keeping them happy. But, in every company, valuable customers still "fall through the cracks". Yet, few companies have effective processes and programs in place to evaluate why customers leave in order to help identify customers at high risk for defection.

Through a strong NBRI customer loss review program, customer behavior can be analyzed and valid conclusions and root causes can be identified. By utilizing these specialized customer surveys, NBRI can help your organization make the leap from dissatisfied customer behavior to profit-making opportunities by assisting your organization in addressing problem areas.

Potential benefits of instituting a strong customer loss review program:

  • Realize potential sales/profits by rebuilding customer relationships.
  • Minimize new customer acquisition costs.
  • Better understand the customer process for relationship termination so that appropriate intervention and recovery steps can be taken.
  • Develop a profile for lost customers that can help detect "at risk" customers.
