Pleasanton, CA, USA, Mar 8, 2023 - Medallia, Inc., a global provider in customer and employee experience, announced that Holiday Inn Club Vacations, a vacation ownership company, successfully leveraged Medallia to improve "Guest Love" scores for the brand’s customer support call center to their highest levels ever.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations (HICV) is a resort, real estate and travel company with a mission to be the most loved brand in family travel by delivering memorable vacation experiences. With a focus on creating an exceptional customer experience, the company uses "Guest Love" scores (the internal name for top-box experience scores) to understand how it can make customers happier.

As a best practice, HICV collaborates with Medallia on survey design to adjust their surveys on an ongoing capacity, ensuring they are capturing the deepest level of insights available. This often includes using Medallia A/B survey testing to quantify and evaluate the validity and reliability of questions, flow of the survey, and the impacts of different wording.

Medallia’s Agent Connect has helped HICV identify what behaviors separate top-performing agents and what customer behavior styles agents need to be skilled in handling. The team has incorporated these learnings into training modules that focus on soft skills, new hires, and onboarding. Agent Connect also provides coaching and training for agents in the contact center, making it easier to learn and improve.

"The insights we receive from Medallia have given us a much better understanding of what matters most to our owners, members, and guests. We are able to take action on this information immediately and that is what enables us to give our guests exactly what they want," said Nicole Myers, Vice President of Customer Experience. "Medallia allows us to capture and categorize feedback through different channels: surveys, online reviews, and social media interactions across the customer journey. We are excited to see that the actions taken based on our guests’ feedback are resulting in an exponential growth in satisfaction across the board."

"Leading organizations know how critical understanding their customers and guests' experience is to the success of the business," said Gabe Benavides, EVP, Global Sales and Marketing at Medallia. "In an industry built almost entirely on customer experience and loyalty, Holiday Inn Club Vacations has set themselves apart by their commitment to listening to their guests and continuing to take action to improve the customer experience."
