If you haven’t noticed, it’s all about the customer these days. According to a research carried out by Deloitte and Touche, customer-centric companies are 60% more profitable than those not focused on the customer. This proves that the moment you put the customer at the core of your business, you’re already one step closer to success. And this is precisely why businesses are looking to customer feedback tools as a foundation for this success.

When you first start selling online, receiving negative customer feedback can feel like a real kick in the teeth. You’ve put in all the hard work to get the order out but have fallen short of your customer’s expectations and are now worried about your reputation, not to mention how it might affect your metrics.
With experience though, you start to realize that negative customer feedback is just part of selling online and shouldn’t be taken to heart. In fact, if you use it creatively, it can even present you with an opportunity to shine.

Ever been put into a position where an online customer is asking you a question about a specific issue and he presumes you can pick up where your colleague left off? Meanwhile you have no prior knowledge of the matter and no documentation to refer to for checking the status of the issue? I think you can see where I’m going with this – this is obviously not an ideal situation to be in, for both you OR your customer.

Customers are the most important cog in your business. Without them, you don’t have a business. But, despite all the tools we have today to create emotion-rich experiences for buyers, many marketers still struggle to understand their customers and what they really want. This just doesn’t cut it any more, particularly when consumers are actively seeking out connections with the brands they purchase from rather than one-off buying frenzies.

Are you struggling to get user feedback for your product or service? Maybe you haven’t even considered that you should be gathering user feedback? If you fall into either of those categories, you’ve come to the right place. A review and feedback are not the same things. Sure, you might have some glowing 5-star reviews for your business but what are they telling you? While a good review tells you that a customer loves your company, it doesn’t tell you why or what’s most important to them and on the other hand, what about difficulties they might have faced or areas you could improve?. That’s where user feedback comes in. Your company will never grow if you don’t have it.
So why does user feedback matter? Simply put, user feedback helps you create better products. If you want to improve your company and keep your valued customers happy, here are four strategies to boost user feedback.

The last 10 years of customer-driven innovation has taught Salesforce a lot. While listening is fairly simple (and fun!), using it to inform product planning is much more complex. Integrating customer feedback requires executive alignment, commitment to community, and a solution that is both simple to use and rich in information to help product managers plan effectively. Sound daunting? Well, we’re here to help because today we’re sharing some of the tips and tricks we’ve learned while building our listening machine.

Companies work hard to listen to the voice of the customer (VoC) and innovate based on what they hear, but passive listening isn’t enough. I’ve found that you must always be on the lookout for new ways customers can connect with you and seamlessly share information to help you deliver products that better meet their needs.
The B2B technology company for which I work is doing some pretty amazing things in this area with many longstanding, and recently established, customer outreach programs. These programs serve as templates for active listening that are uniquely and directly connecting customers with our CX team, customer service and support — and more specifically with product development and product management.
Feedback channels are ongoing resources for us and help ensure that we approach VoC and product innovation from the customer’s perspective, developing new products and features that align with their current and future needs.
