CELEBRATING A YEAR OF SUCCESS: RESULTS OF OUR 2023 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY!

In an ever more competitive world, customer satisfaction is a priority for businesses. The Mail Company has emerged not just as a service provider, but also as a true partner in the delivery of document logistics solutions.

That commitment has been truly to the fore in 2023, as can be seen from the opinions of the people who matter most: our customers. Through our Customer Satisfaction Survey 2023, we have carefully listened to what the users of our services have to say. The results are not just encouraging, they also show us the way to the future.

We want to share the results of this year’s survey with you, to celebrate together the achievements and to acknowledge the challenges that we face in the spirit of transparency and openness that marks The Mail Company out.

From traceability to levels of customer satisfaction, each score and each comment has given us invaluable insight into what it means to be a key part of the life of our customers’ businesses. Come with us on this journey through a year of extraordinary service, continuous innovation and, most importantly, confidence and satisfaction for our customers.

 

NPS – Net Promoter Score 

Net Promoter Score or NPS is a tool to measure the satisfaction and loyalty of the customers of a business or brand that also identifies areas for improvement.

Over 2023, The Mail Company in Spain improved its NPS over the previous year from 28% to 44%.

We nearly doubled our NPS with clients contact in Spain over the last year, broken down as follows:

• GIO Users: 27.49% → 39.44%
• GIO Mail Recipients: 30.3% → 61.84%
• Clients contact: 25% → 46.43%

Scores for specific questions also improved. Our average score in Spain is 8.4. Relative to the previous year, that score also improved, from 8.1 to 8.4. The average score for the specific question on satisfaction with the service provided by our GIO mailroom staff was 9.41.

How is NPS measured?

A Satisfaction Survey was emailed to more than 2200 people in Spain and Portugal.

Our NPS was measured using the official method developed by the creator of NPS Fred Reichheld, which allocates customers to three categories depending on their answer to a single question: detractors with a score of 0-6, passives with 7-8 and promoters (fans of The Mail Company) with 9-10. That metric shows how many fans an organisation has, seeing which users are satisfied and how they rate us as a business.

Three groups were sent the survey:

• Active users of the GIO platform.
• People who use our Mailroom services.
• Clients contact – heads of relevant departments – at our customers.
• The survey was conducted during October so as not to run into the end of the year.
