- Accessible: How easy is it for customers to do what they want to do?
- Emotional: How do customers feel about the experiences?

Hi there,
Last year you published the report “Report: 2012 Temkin Experience Ratings of Tech Vendors”
Will you have a Tech index coming out in 2013 too?
Cheers Dave

Dave: Thanks for your interest! Yes, we will be publishing the Tech Vendor series of reports (including the Temkin Experience Ratings of Tech Vendors) again this year. Look for it in April.
Hi Bruce,
When is the Tech Vendor report due out? (or did I miss it?)
Cheers
Dave
Hi Dave: Our NPS benchmark for Tech Vendors will be published tomorrow and the Temkin Experience Ratings for Tech Vendors, 2013 will be published in June. Thanks for your interest.
Just FYI that you reversed Empire and Days Inn in the last chart in the post.

Thanks George. We caught that in the report, but it snuck through on the blog. We’ve fixed it.
It is interesting to note how the grocery / food / basic needs companies show up at the top and Health Services companies show up at the bottom. I wonder if the mindset / situation of customers also contributes to the perception of the experience.
Customer mind set
grocery: proactive, envisioning pleasure.
healthcare: reactive, in crisis.
