Medallia B2B: Enterprise Feedback
Management with all the B2B “must-haves”

Monitor relationship health

Medallia offers a two-pronged approach for bringing relationship problems to the surface.

  • Relationship surveys: Administered continuously throughout the year to provide an ongoing measurement of relationship health across your customer base while typically sampling individual respondents only once or twice each year.
  • Transaction surveys: Easily customized for each touchpoint (service, delivery, support, and more), complementing relationship surveys to give a comprehensive view of overall health and providing insight to improve your products and services.

Hear from every customer

When every customer represents a measurable percentage of revenue, access to every customer is critical, not just “nice to have.”

  • Powerful, segment-of-one invitation management: Monitor (response rates), investigate (undeliverables, non-responses), edit (invitation contact information), and resend invitations.
  • Automatic escalation to a different survey invitation method. If your customer doesn’t respond to an email, for example, the system automatically escalates to a phone survey or other method. Our cost-effective invitation management process identifies the optimal invitation path to maximize your customers’ convenience—and likelihood of response.
  • Global reach: Engage with your customers everywhere, with surveying and reporting of feedback in all browser-supported languages (both single- and double-byte), compliance with countries’ differing privacy policies, and understanding (and interpretation) of cultural differences in survey responses. Plus, we can integrate our solution with your existing technology systems even if they differ—as they often do—from country to country.

Bring clarity to complexity

Your relationships with B2B customers are interwoven and complex: different units and functional areas of your company provide different products and services to different parts of your customer’s organization. How do you untangle the web of relationships?

  • Host multiple surveys and roll up reporting for even the most complex B2B relationships
    • Slice results any way you desire:
      • by physical location
      • by department
      • by customer across departments and more.
    • Map the same reporting unit (e.g., site) to multiple groups (e.g., departments) if your reporting hierarchy demands it.
    • Customize user access to present the right information to the right people at the right time.
    • Update organizational changes automatically in the Medallia system.
  • Segment respondents by one or more key criteria, such as decision makers vs. influencer, size of account.
  • Clarify relationship trends by tracking satisfaction of only those respondents who provided feedback in every designated reporting period.

Improve relationship

  • Comment categorization: Extract informational nuggets—like improvement opportunities and suggested actions—automatically from verbatim comments in your customer feedback.
  • Alerts: Be alerted to low-scoring and unanswered individual surveys, which are often the first signs of a relationship in decline. Notifications are routed automatically to the right person, with automated and manual escalation available.
  • Collaborative recovery: Act on feedback, log actions, and track results in the system, for a continuous (and collaborative) improvement loop.
  • Real time: Act right away on feedback that’s collected and reported immediately after a customer experience.
  • Push reports: Email aggregated results to key executives, field personnel, and others able to drive action but unlikely to log in regularly.
  • Sample management: Boost sample sizes without taxing customers using sophisticated quota and quarantine management capabilities.

What took 500 actions with a competitive system now takes two to three with Medallia. And that’s no exaggeration. It’s significantly easier to get the slices of data you need.
