Announcing Our New CX Metrics Playbook: Your Ultimate Guide to Enhancing Customer Experience

By Machielle Thomas

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest resource designed to elevate your customer experience strategy: Decoding CX Metrics: A Playbook for Tracking and Optimizing Customer Experience. This comprehensive CX metrics playbook was created to help you understand, measure, and improve your customer interactions. In short, this playbook is for CX professionals who have a problem to solve and know they could solve it if they had more data.

Why This Playbook Matters

Customer experience (CX) is more than just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of any successful business. In today’s competitive landscape, having a deep understanding of your CX metrics can set you apart from the rest. This playbook dives into the essentials of tracking these metrics, providing actionable insights to optimize every touchpoint along your customer journey.

As Lindsay Fifield, Forethought’s Director of Customer Success, puts it:

“A healthy CX team doesn’t just keep track of metrics—they really dig into what those numbers mean. Setting up a solid system to organize and review your metrics regularly helps spot trends and issues early, so you can make changes before problems get big and keep improving the customer experience.”

– Lindsay Fifield

A page from the CX Metrics Playbook

We’ve put together an actionable cheat sheet for each metric that cuts to the core of how to use it. Each metric’s page includes the following:

→  A definition

→  The metric’s origin

→  A formula for calculation

→  General benchmarks

→  Directions for measurement

→  Ideas for improvement

→  A case study from a real business

These sheets are designed to make it easy to pull out the information you need quickly so you can go about your day tending to your customers instead of wasting energy on metrics research. At the end of each section, you’ll find an “Unsung Hero” metric. These are metrics that we’ve found to be transformative for our customers but aren’t used across every CX team.
