“We care deeply about our customers.” “We put our customers first.” Or: “We ❤️ our customers.”
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. They pop it into their office reception areas, YouTube ads, business cards, staff lapel pins, About Us pages, social media bios, email signatures. If your company fits this description, it’s important to be honest and ask yourself: do these words ring true or hollow?
To truly demonstrate your company’s commitment to customers, you have to be able to understand them first. 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.

If you’re on your way to building your first voice of the customer program, you might be wondering if the entire process actually works. And by that I mean, is the customer feedback gathered through VOC programs actually useful and actionable, or should you brace yourself for a flurry of poorly thought out attacks on your industry as a whole? Moreover, one might wonder if the VOC movement is based on results, or if it’s just a way for brands to appear interested in their customer’s opinions.
So CMSWire spoke to five different brands who gave us five different ways they benefited directly from their own VOC programs. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

It’s already well established that if your business relies on consumers, you need to be surveying them to ensure they are happy and will return… often! Satisfaction Surveys enable you to tap into your greatest source of learning: your current customers. Not only will you find out what your customers think of you, you will discover how to make them loyal, increase sales, and how likely they are to recommend you via the Net Promoter Score.
We understand that some clients are wary to start a Customer Satisfaction Program because they are concerned the submission rate will be low and, therefore, neither reliable nor actionable. So, how do you boost your Customer Satisfaction survey responses?

"Large corporations have dominated the market for a long time, but things are rapidly changing. Disruptive startups, of which there are many, are posing a threat to the seemingly unshakable market positions of these large established firms.
By scaling agility across all business units and product groups, digital giants should design and build features much more quickly, get early customer feedback and enhance them in rapid iterations."

On the blog lately, we’ve been talking a lot about getting more natural with the way we request content and feedback from customers. It comes from an insight that popped up in a few recent chats with our clients and tech partners. We find that a lot of them are battling survey fatigue.
Basically, in the search for more and better user-generated content, marketers have been battering customers with all kinds of surveys. There’s limited strategy behind those surveys and it’s leading to people shutting them out altogether.

These are metrics such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), Goal Completion Rate (GCR) and Customer Effort Score (CES), all of which are heavily relied upon to determine both the success of their website and the success of their customers. In a previous blog post, we touched on NPS, a key metric designed to track customer loyalty. And now we will focus on the other two, GCR and CES and how collecting these scores can be leveraged to optimise online ordering funnels.

An apology and empathy that stretches beyond the first few seconds of an interaction with an angry or upset customer can reduce customer satisfaction. That’s the finding of new research led by Jagdip Singh of Case Western Reserve University. Too much empathy when complaint handling can negatively tip the balance on what customers perceive as effective service recovery.
