There are many non-financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that may be relevant to your business, below we have included some of the KPIs that are commonly used to track and monitor and control Customer Satisfaction
As with all KPIs and goals in general, ‘less is more’, so ideally you will select the handful of KPIs that are of greatest importance to the business to track and report on at top level management.
