You might think you put your customers first, but how customer-focused would your clients rate you on a scale of one to 10? And when was the last time you asked?
In a study by Bain & Company, nearly 95 percent of companies surveyed claimed to put customer service at the forefront, while 80 percent maintained they provide a superior level of service. Shockingly, a mere eight percent of those companies’ customers agreed. And, as the old saying goes, the customer is always right. So how can you determine, without a doubt, if the customer experience you provide measures up to your core customers’ expectations?
The answer may seem simple enough: You ask them. But knowing what your customers think about your brand isn’t enough. If you truly want to enhance your customer experience, even if you think it already meets your company’s standards, you need to discover how to use their feedback to make the necessary improvements.

In the world of business, and more specifically customer experience, the focus on single number metrics, whether that be NPS, CES or CSAT, has for many reached mythical proportions. But very much like baseball, they rarely tell the whole story, or even the right story, when it comes to measuring true business success through a customer’s eyes, and their resulting emotions.

The ability to collect massive amounts of data represented a huge leap forward in customer service and communication when customer relationship management first hit the market as a marketing, sales and data management tool.
However, CRMs weren't a holy grail. Data management is one thing. Using data to understand what customers really need (not just what you think they do) and how to engage them is another thing entirely.
CRMs were not built to be nimble. Times change, customer expectations change, and the technology needs to change with it.
Currently, predictive analytics and artificial intelligence promise the potential to revolutionize CRMs in truly meaningful ways, but rather than be hyperbolic about that potential, it's important to be pragmatic -- and that's not the same as being negative.

More than ever before, marketers have an opportunity to see and interact with customers and prospects across the largest number of channels and platforms. That provides more data to identify patterns in behaviour that can be leveraged to create better messages and interactions with them. However, these multiple touch-points have also complicated the viewpoints and decisions marketers make in relation to customers. That’s why it’s important to collect all those perspectives and create a single view of each customer.

For product teams, developing a long-term roadmap and launching new products and features are just one part of the job. But once they’ve shipped new products to the market, the work doesn’t end there. They’re also responsible for tracking bugs and incorporating customer feedback into the products they build.
Without efficient processes and the right tools in place, this part of the job can be tough to juggle, or worse, it falls to the wayside. Fortunately, Asana has templates for both bug tracking and customer feedback that make it easier for product teams to manage and organize post-launch work—so they can focus on delighting customers and delivering the best product experiences possible.

'Anyone who owns or runs an eCommerce site, whether large or small, knows the importance of customer feedback. Equally well-known is the difficulty involved in generating quality customer feedback.
As the saying goes, “For every customer who bothers to complain, 20 other customers remain silent.”
Unless the experience is really bad, customers usually don’t bother to share feedback about an experience that didn’t meet their expectations. Instead, they decide never to do business with the service provider again. That’s a high price to pay for lost feedback.
In this article, we’ll look at some very effective ways of getting quality (and consistent) customer feedback.'
