Twenty, even ten decades back, when a complaint was generally created by correspondence, a disgruntled customer could be managed in-house without anybody outside the company understanding, but these days are all gone.

Every company wants to solve their customers problems in the most efficient way. Instead of guessing what your customer is feeling about your software, they can give you straight answers if you open a space/channel for it. Huh? Actually, it’s simple. In order to make your customer give a positive or negative feedback about your software, you need to create opportunities on your website where they can feel safe and prepared to share their feedbacks.

Retailers always need to properly analyze customer feedback if they want to evolve their business to meet shopper needs. But when collecting that feedback, they better make it quick for the shopper. As many as 44% percent of shoppers have abandoned a customer feedback survey without completing it, with 57% of those citing length as the primary reason for doing so, according to a survey from Medallia.
Beyond the length of the survey, these characteristics have caused consumers to abandon customer feedback surveys:

Growing passenger numbers in an increasingly cosmopolitan world are forcing airports to step up their game to ensure that travellers are satisfied with services. As customer feedback becomes more and more crucial to reach this goal, digitalisation offers new ways of gathering and organising data.

We are all too familiar with customer feedback requests as they bombard us from every side: email signatures, website pop-ups, phone queues (“press 1 after this call to …”), even the grocery gal circles a survey she’d like us to take at the bottom of the receipt.
Companies seem eager to know what we think about everything. But does it work? Do they get our honest opinions? And do they get scientific data that helps them improve?

We’re noticing a disturbing trend: industry reports are pointing out that most VOC programs are struggling to prove value. Some reports say that as little as 15% of today’s organizations feel their programs are successful. What’s behind that?
Software seems to be getting the blame for the lack of VOC success, but it’s not always the software that’s the problem.
Many companies have the wrong expectation of what software is meant to do in a VOC program. And to make it worse, companies rarely wrap their software investment in the right CX strategy – one that guides action and cultural adoption.

Marketers are a loud group. We're constantly yelling promotions, trying way too hard to show how cool our brands are, or peddling product to the masses. We're so focused on the outbound that we've completely cannibalized any chance at having conversations with our customers.
Even with voice of the customer strategies, that methodology doesn't help the customer to confirm that his or her voice matters. Most customers feel that the only way to show their voices is to either publicly fan the flames of social, or to use the power of their dollars to show their dissatisfaction. Marketers would be smart to just shut up and listen. It's better for the customer, it's far less inflammatory, and it's better for business.

A new voice-of-customer management system is not only closing the loop on client experience feedback for international money transfer company, OFX, it’s also actively informing products that build competitive edge.
OFX commercial director, Sarah Bernhardi, told CMO the company previously used a third party to manage its Net Promoter Score (NPS) program, conducting a quarterly pulse check on customers. This meant client feedback was being collected months after interactions, and wasn’t specific enough to take action off the back of.

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.
