Customer Experience & Service Delivery

How a telecommunications provider used customer service benchmarking and competitive research to identify experience gaps and prioritize service improvement opportunities.

The Challenge

A telecommunications provider sought to better understand how its customer service performance compared to peer and best-in-class organizations.

Leadership needed clarity on:

  • How their service model measured against industry benchmarks

  • Where customer experience gaps existed across channels

  • Which improvements would drive the greatest business value

The organization required a structured, data-backed assessment to prioritize service enhancements and investment decisions.

The Strategy

NRG designed a targeted benchmarking and competitive research initiative to evaluate the provider’s customer service performance.

The strategy focused on:

  • Comparing service performance against peer and best-in-class providers

  • Defining relevant customer service benchmarks

  • Identifying emerging service trends

  • Prioritizing value-driven improvement initiatives

The objective was to create a clear fact base to inform CX and service delivery decisions.

The Execution

NRG conducted competitor analysis, best-in-class benchmarking, and industry research to evaluate customer service performance.

The engagement included:

  • Competitive comparisons and structured research methodologies

  • Mystery shopping to assess service effectiveness and customer experience

  • Triangulation of findings across multiple data sources

Insights were synthesized to highlight key experience drivers and inform service model recommendations.

The Impact

The provider gained a clearer understanding of its competitive position and customer experience performance.

Outcomes included:

  • Identified opportunities to improve customer satisfaction, including discoverability across service channels and real-time support

  • Prioritized recommendations spanning immediate, mid-term, and long-term initiatives

  • Action steps to enhance web and help center content, service quality and speed, and channel expansion

With these insights, leadership was positioned to make informed decisions about where to invest for the greatest CX impact.
