From Feedback to Progress: How BLKB Increases Customer Satisfaction

Initial Situation

Maximizing customer focus is BLKB’s top priority. The bank sought a solution that would allow them to capture customer satisfaction at various touchpoints. At the same time, revenue diversification was another important pillar of their strategy, with the ‘Investment’ area in particular targeted to broaden the earnings base. To achieve these goals, BLKB aimed to take another step forward in digitalization. An internal study in spring showed that word-of-mouth is a particularly effective channel for acquiring new customers. After the internal referral program was discontinued, BLKB recognized the potential to use this proven recommendation channel more efficiently. This led to a clear objective: to implement targeted measures to actively encourage customer recommendations and systematically integrate them into new customer acquisition.

Use of recommendation and feedback solution hypt

After each consultation, private customers from various categories receive a business card with a QR code leading to a short chat interaction with ‘Daniela,’ a friendly BLKB avatar. At a later stage, emails were also sent to customers. Daniela playfully and user-friendly collects anonymous feedback, giving advisors the first opportunity to measure their performance through direct responses.

Satisfied customers are encouraged in the chat to share a recommendation via messenger services like WhatsApp and leave an online rating. Dissatisfied customers can voice complaints directly and optionally forward them to the support team. This way, word-of-mouth marketing is fully covered
