# Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)

**CSAT** measures customer satisfaction with a specific interaction or experience — usually a support ticket, onboarding session, or product release — on a 1–5 (or 1–10) scale, asked immediately after the event.

## Formula

```
CSAT = (Satisfied responses ÷ Total responses) × 100
```

"Satisfied" typically means a 4 or 5 on a 1–5 scale.

## When to use CSAT vs NPS

- **CSAT** — transactional, specific event ("how was that ticket resolution?")
- **NPS** — relational, holistic loyalty ("how likely are you to recommend us?")

## Benchmarks

B2B SaaS support CSAT averages 85%. Best-in-class lands at 92%+.

## How BlueHill helps

CSAT surveys auto-send after ticket resolution. Responses live on the customer record so a low CSAT on Tuesday's ticket is visible during Thursday's QBR.
