Achieving and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction is important for a business to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Your customers’ perceptions of your company or brand affect your reputation and your revenue. Interactions with service desk agents have a direct impact on a number of issues—lifetime customer value, loyalty, profitability and more—and for that reason measurement of customer satisfaction is essential.

You’ve probably seen more than a fair share of brands use these taglines or some other similar phrase in order to profess their undying, indissoluble love for their customers.

You have to know their thoughts and feelings, their wants, needs, opinions, and expectations. You have to develop your ability to understand and measure the kind of customer experience you’re delivering, so you can gain insights essential to showing genuine customer love. None of this would be possible if you don’t know how to manage customer feedback.

What are people saying about your brand online when you're not listening? And how much customer feedback are you missing out on?These are key problems that one North East-based company is hoping to solve. “There's no business that isn't being talked about somewhere,” Steve Erdal, director of linguistics at wordnerds, explained to BusinessCloud.
“You know there's information out there that's useful, but pinpointing it and getting it in an understandable state is difficult.” While the likes of Google and third-party apps are very good at finding specific words and phrases across the internet, they don’t offer interpretation. In contrast wordnerds, which began life during a hackathon for Nissan, is determining what people actually mean by applying text analytics.
