Without this data, opportunities to improve service, strengthen member relationships, and enhance their online reputation were being missed. The Solution We implemented HubSpot Service Hub to launch a full membership NPS survey to 45,061 members. The survey included customized follow-up messaging based on each member’s rating: - **Promoters (9 - 10) **received calls-to-action encouraging online Google Reviews and testimonials - **Passives and Detractors **were prompted with targeted questions to uncover service gaps and improvement opportunities. Using HubSpot’s automated workflows, Carolina Trust could easily follow up with each segment at scale, ensuring the right next step reached the right member at the right time. 45 k Survey Reach +100 New Google Reviews Higher Google Rating The Results Within weeks, Carolina Trust gained nearly 1,900 pieces of direct member feedback, revealing valuable insights to improve products and services. The campaign also generated almost 100 new Google reviews, boosting their main branch’s rating from 3.8 to 4.3 and strengthening member trust and brand perception. - **Survey Reach: **45,061 members - **Opens: **11,014 (24% open rate) - **Responses:** 1,899 (17% response rate) - **Google Reviews: **Nearly 100 new reviews in two weeks - **Google Rating Increase:** From 3.8 to 4.3 stars for their main branch ```   ``` ### Email Results  ```   ``` **![](https://www.figrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-4.png?width=975&height=608&name=undefined-4.png)**   ### Survey Results  ![](https://www.figrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-35-03-6159-PM.png?width=1156&height=822&name=undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-35-03-6159-PM.png) ### Google Rating Change The Google Rating was 3.8 with 139 Reviews Now the rating is: **![](https://www.figrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-36-14-1044-PM.png?width=506&height=107&name=undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-36-14-1044-PM.png)** Total new 5 star reviews driven: 45 ![](https://www.figrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-3.png?width=612&height=507&name=undefined-3.png) ### Google Review Email Performance **![](https://www.figrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-37-50-7943-PM.png?width=960&height=597&name=undefined-Sep-04-2025-10-37-50-7943-PM.png)** Key Product HubSpot Service Hub enabled Carolina Trust to design, launch, and manage a full-scale NPS survey with automated follow-up workflows.
