Their initial solution, GatherUp, served its purpose but lacked the customization, brand integration, and automation capabilities WFG required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WFG needed a platform that could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide a more detailed and persona-based feedback system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase engagement and survey participation rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliver insights directly to sales teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve their follow-up strategy for customer feedback<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After evaluating multiple reputation management platforms, WFG found its perfect solution with Experience.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Experience.com Impact:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Experience.com, WFG made a major shift from location-based feedback to persona-based engagement. This allowed them to gather insights at a more granular level, focusing on individual customer touchpoints rather than just branch performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What were the first noticeable changes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cWe saw our participation rate go from 7% with our old platform to 21% with Experience.com. <\/strong><strong>That\u2019s 3X the amount of people willing to take the survey<\/strong><strong>,\u201d<\/strong> said Justin Tucker, EVP and Director of Strategic Initiatives at WFG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, WFG&#8217;s already strong Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased from <strong>85 to 90<\/strong>, reinforcing their reputation for outstanding service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new platform also enabled a <strong>more effective follow-up strategy<\/strong>, ensuring that any negative experiences were immediately addressed by the right team members. Customers who left less-than-stellar feedback were promptly engaged, turning potential detractors into advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Game-Changing Features:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the many powerful features of Experience.com, a few stood out as transformational for WFG:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gamification &amp; Leaderboards:<\/strong> \u201cI love the gamification element of responding to reviews. Our teams can see their leaderboards, track performance, and use AI-powered responses,\u201d said Tucker. This increased engagement and encouraged proactive reputation management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXevnSja0mZycA6sSMpQoFP1rHjpPcEOj69SEy1ixssY36Qn558qjnShqDOAVMjL-0a1OEzlQg_WjuKOK0HzWHES-26s8PWBuvlrZJONjemVPUu20NPe1o4XuPwYjrBBgH9rhc2X_g?key=_82EZOjTEixYtGl2n7jhuvd0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Automated Weekly Digests:<\/strong> The ability to send automated reports to stakeholders helped WFG maintain visibility into customer feedback without manual effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customized Campaigns for Different Audiences:<\/strong> \u201cInstead of a one-size-fits-all campaign, we now have targeted campaigns for buyers, sellers, listing agents, and lenders,\u201d Justin explains. \u201cThis allows us to pinpoint service levels and friction points specific to each role in the transaction.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Driving Adoption &amp; Engagement Through Search Rank Score<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While WFG&#8217;s primary focus wasn\u2019t on local search rankings, the Search Rank Score feature still played a crucial role in engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThe ranking system got our folks engaged. They could see their scores, what they needed to complete their profile, and how they compared to their peers. It drove more adoption and buy-in.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucker likened it to fitness tracking: <strong>\u201cIf I don\u2019t have my Fitbit on, I won\u2019t walk 10,000 steps because I feel like I don\u2019t get credit for them. It doesn\u2019t make sense, but it works the same way. It pushes engagement.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfbyCg5eM_yn3D7wRl174ItcX_scybIPpJf15vQqcC_zBaL7yVqbYiVYMQfD2FFESU5mBdktVft2UYYisWIdw0rzulebhsQmNpWMNVeWADZN4SZRt-UzCbPJgeJ8F0-1Vf0ZZzo?key=_82EZOjTEixYtGl2n7jhuvd0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WFG also leveraged Search Rank Score to encourage employees to take action on key areas such as profile completion, review collection, and external listings. As a result, employees felt more involved in improving their digital presence, which directly translated to better customer interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Verdict:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With over <strong>70,568 surveys sent and 29,121 reviews collected<\/strong> across <strong>135 locations and 203 profiles<\/strong>, WFG has leveraged Experience.com to enhance customer experience, increase engagement, and drive operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXew2D3pHxwUkT4xBDwFWPpOl3DGHUcUJvYqIknZHxfL_lCc61MKHP9j0Au8szzt7TyjqiiQkO1LW8OzJKGu5YhUFGI5OOKt-_XZQE_1HcOFnqx4dccKne_UOSBTpXgRetegctYeiw?key=_82EZOjTEixYtGl2n7jhuvd0\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>\u201cExperience.com gave us all the tools we needed to measure, improve, and monitor customer experience.
