Why a 4% lift? The repeat purchase rate after a positive customer support interaction is significantly high.

If your CSAT is 5/5 (compared to the average industry CSAT at 4/5), your repeat purchase rate from the 20% of customers who reached out to support will likely be 43% higher for the next 180 days. This means you could lift your overall purchase repeat by 2% for the next 180 days.

Given that 40% of orders from an ecommerce brand are from repeat customers, this means that improving your CSAT could lift your revenue by 1% over the next 180 days.
