- Globally, the percentage of surveys taken on mobile in 4Q 2022 (56.6%) already far exceed those taken on non-mobile devices (40.2%), a trend that sees no signs of slowing down. The U.S. is an outlier, lagging far behind all other countries in mobile survey-taking in 4Q 2022 (43.7% in the U.S. versus 64.0% rest of world).
“The questions people choose to ask can tell us so much more than you might expect,” says Laura Wronski, director of research at Momentive. “Our customers turn to surveys to answer tough questions about everything from customer experience to employee engagement to brand sentiment. In doing so, they reveal how our collective language, priorities, and expectations are continuously evolving. This report is our way of sharing the unique insights that piqued our curiosity through the years, with the hope that it inspires you to come up with new questions to gain deep insights.”

Bond and Qualtrics have announced a business partnership that will enable Bond to become certified to perform implementation services on the Qualtrics platform for their EX and CX customers. Bond is a CX loyalty and growth firm that will be leveraging its abilities in strategy and guidance in combination with the Qualtrics Customer XM to provide clients deeper understanding and abilities to act on customer feedback coming in from a variety of channels and most importantly enhancing abilities to see the highest priority insights so action can be taken.

This partnership furthers our mission to provide leading brands long-term, customer-centric growth.”

In other Qualtrics news, the company laid out some enhancements to the Qualtrics XM platform, and also shared that the platform has reached 10 billion Experience iDs–a growth rate of 100% year over year. According to the company, this makes it the largest human sentiment database in the world.
Enhancements announced to the Qualtrics XM platform include:
- An improved XiD dashboard that allows for more flexibility to connect and pull in diverse types of data including transactional data such as visits and purchases; demographic data including age, geography, income level; and other experiential information such as sentiment, effort, emotion, and intent. This can help identify key trends and gaps and get to actionable insights faster.
- The company is also deepening the integration between XiD and xFlow, Qualtrics’ workflow automation engine. The new XiD-powered workflows allow organizations to automatically trigger personalized engagement and outreach. Workflows can be triggered based on changes in customer contact information, transaction data, or changes in customer segment membership.
“In a tightening economy, companies are looking for efficient, at-a-glance insights that can provide unique perspectives at scale so they can get to know their customers on a deeper level and automatically deliver tailored experiences,” says Brad Anderson, Qualtrics President of Products and Engineering. “The breadth of data captured within XiD paired with its AI capabilities ensure incredible scale, empowering companies to connect the dots across each touchpoint of a user’s journey to uncover the insights needed to take quick and targeted action.”

- Pre-populated survey with transaction data to ensure 90%+ survey completion rate of 50 questions
- Statistically significant guest feedback volume for reliable identification of high-impact areas for improvement
- More opportunity for guest recovery methods to extend hospitality beyond restaurants walls
Tattle’s customer feedback platform is built with an open API, and can collect guest feedback and get a gauge on satisfaction across all-digital ordering channels. The company already has nearly 30 integration partners across POS, digital ordering, and loyalty sectors. AI is used to identify and recommend the highest impact areas of improvement that will have the most positive effect on guest satisfaction.
“Tattle’s technology has been a game changer for the restaurant industry, because it sheds light on historically ambiguous feedback data that often leaves operations teams clueless as to how to improve,” says Tattle CEO/Founder, Alex Beltrani. “We’re excited to continue our growth and partner with thousands of restaurants across the country, empowering them with the best Customer Experience Improvement (CXI) tool that truly bridges the gap between their operations teams and their customers.”
