Here I have identified several misconceptions that Digital Marketers assume about online customer feedback used in both B2B AND B2C businesses. Below I will share with you some misconceptions and truths about online feedback to demonstrate why it is so vital to success.

In today’s ever-accelerating digital world, most brands know that winning the battle for customers depends on exceptional customer experience (CX).
A relatively new type of effort called customer success (CS) — particularly prevalent in the B2B tech sector — brings a set of parallel tactics that CX leaders in any market should pay attention to.

To experience something is to be alive, to feel and to remember. The CX community often forgets that. As soon as we add the word "customer" to experience, it suddenly loses its depth and becomes yet another marketing buzzword to add to our ever-expanding lists. But for customers, real experiences – whether physical or digital – are still just as emotive and memorable as ever.
So why aren’t CX strategists, whether they’re marketers, technologists, service or support executives, adapting to this idea? The problem is quantification--or more accurately, uninspired quantification.

A colleague recently ran into a very frustrating customer experience. This situation raises the question— why are so many companies placing the burden for good CX on the customer?
"After several unsuccessful attempts to pair a new smart home device with a product’s app, my colleague contacted customer service. In response to her inquiry, she was presented with a lengthy set of emails that detailed how she needed to completely reset her Wi-Fi router settings– in order for the app and device to work properly! Their attitude was that the customer had the burden of making many changes so their app would work properly!"
The company’s position was that the burden for good product results was on the consumer. The brand did not feel it had to accommodate customer’s reasonable needs!
So, ask yourself this: Are you making it easy for your customers to buy, use, and experience your products? And if you’re not, what changes should you make?

Are you sending out CX (customer experience) surveys days or even weeks after the customer interaction? If so, have you considered what the consumer’s experience of that might be and how that impacts on their perception of your brand? Or have you thought about some of the great opportunities the delay in your process precludes? Do you wonder what impact the delay has on future survey engagement or worse, customer loyalty?
These are some of the questions I cover in this post. The importance of capturing feedback in real-time should not be underestimated, particularly if you want to impact CX on an individual customer basis. While it is relatively easy to achieve in an online environment, it is much more challenging in a brick-and-mortar context, so I will offer some ideas on how to do it at the end of the post.

Having an online business is not everything unless you are improving your user’s experience when they visit your website. Whether it is redirecting them from a certain link or creating web pages that are easy to find, you’ll have an easy time creating emotional connections with users.
But how do you create emotional connections with users? How do you help them aptly respond to issues and provide feedback? Through a digital customer experience management system. It is a program designed to help you understand how customers interact with your brand online.

Get customer experience right and profit will follow. That’s the conclusion of a survey by Hotjar of 2,000 CX professionals published in November 2018. Only 12 percent of respondents regarded their companies as being mature when it came to customer experience.
“Customer experience leaders prioritize delivering an outstanding experience over everything else (yes, even over revenue),” the Hotjar survey states. The leaders focus on current customers, rather than obsessing about potential ones. They allocate a regular amount of time every week to make calls, meet for coffee or find out about the support issues of their customers. They follow the Golden Rule of customer experience: “Treat customers how you would like to be treated.”

We’re at a tipping point for many transformation triggers, including globalization, digital growth, regulatory compliance and a changing economy. Each of these things has the power to dramatically impact customers and change how they interact with brands. The combination could completely change the face of customer experience moving forward. Buckle your seat belts because we’re in for a bumpy (and exciting) transformation journey heading into the new year.

For startup founders, passion for your business comes naturally. But customer service? Sometimes, not so much. While it is easy to obsess over every product or service feature, businesses need to prioritise building relationships with their customers from day one.
This is critical in the overall success of a business, given a product is only as good as the customer buying or using it says.
That said, cultivating a relationship with your customers can be difficult. At the heart of it all is being committed to listening, as awkward and painful as some customer conversations may be. This will help you gather invaluable feedback to build a product or service that truly meets their needs.
