FLASHcube™ Customer Needs Analysis

One of the most compelling benefits of the FLASHtrack System™ is Campbell Rinker’s FLASHcube customer needs analysis.

With this analysis, you will learn...

  • Which service traits must be improved
  • How much improvement is necessary for optimum return
  • How your revenue is likely to grow when your satisfaction scores improve

It all starts with the questionnaire. Embedded in the postcard are questions that Campbell Rinker uses to reveal how important each one of the rated characteristics is to your respondents.

Why not simply ask the respondents?

Quite simply, importance ratings that are derived by statistical modeling are more accurate than ratings stated by respondents. Studies by customer satisfaction experts have concluded that statistical analysis of customer satisfaction levels against other measures is a more accurate method for identifying which service traits are important. This is the approach of Campbell Rinker in FLASHcube.

The FLASHcube Process

Using the powerful data from the FLASHtrack System, we conduct a rigorous analysis of customer responses. We examine responses from all purchasers within a particular product category to provide more reliable answers, and we test the validity of the answers we get to confirm our initial results. This analysis helps us determine the service traits that are most important to your customers, without them ever having to answer a question about importance.

Once Campbell Rinker derives the importance weights for each service trait, we plot your organization’s results on a four-cell chart we call FLASHcube.

At a glance, this simple quadrant chart illustrates key facts about your customer’s order experience…

  1. Critical Needs: Pivotal service issues that are important but remain unsatisfied
  2. Key Wants: Service traits your organization must keep doing well to maintain customer loyalty
  3. Perks: Areas where your organization delivers more than what the customers need
  4. Peripherals: Items that are unimportant and evoke low satisfaction ratings

With your organization’s personalized FLASHcube report, you will be able to identify what service traits you must improve, and by how much, in order to lift your customers’ likelihood to repurchase to the next level.

That might be enough of a benefit to justify a FLASCHcube analysis. However, Campbell Rinker takes the report to the next level by using your organization’s data to forecast the impact of higher satisfaction on your bottom line.

Once we understand which service factors are most important, we add other key factors into the model. The result is a compelling tactical strategy for successful customer service. In this format, FLASHcube identifies the likely increase in revenue as a result of lifting specific, important service traits.


With FLASHcube as a guide, your organization can...

  • Target specific customer satisfaction issues for action
  • Establish specific productivity goals based on customer feedback
  • Manage your processes with measurable outcomes in mind

All of this helps your organization become better at what you do. Both your customers and your organization are winners.

With each purchase of a FLASHcube report, your organization receives a customized FLASHcube quadrant, a detailed table forecasting the likely outcome of improved satisfaction ratings, and text explaining the results and the implications for your organization.
