The old adage “the customer is always right” may frustrate some companies, but getting to the heart of the customer voice through robust data aggregation and analysis tools has never been easier. Social media has now given everyone a feedback channel that customer service organizations can harness to improve offerings and stay competitive.
Perficient recommends a solution that captures not only the customer voice but the employee voice as well. After all, large service-based organizations such as cable, telecom and satellite providers often distribute service to their own employees.
In addition, employees may hold valuable customer trends not evident in customer feedback surveys. A feedback environment should be created to welcome and reward constructive feedback. It is also critical the organization act quickly and efficiently on that feedback to implement positive change.

Many businesses track metrics like customer acquisition cost, time on site, conversion rates, and bounce rates. However, these metrics fall short when you’re trying to understand customers’ experience with your business and how its performance relates to their expectations. And if you fail to meet their expectations, their likelihood of staying with the business goes down and their lifetime value declines.

That’s not because we lie, although we do surprisingly often. According to a study, 60% of people tend to fib at least once within ten minutes of meeting someone new. 1 » But the truth gap between our words and feelings isn’t always deliberate. We’re just naturally bad at articulating what makes us happy.
An increasing number of marketers are abandoning questionnaires and replacing them with more scientific techniques to probe what’s really on their customers’ minds. And when it comes to measuring a better customer experience, CX professionals should do the same.

Customer-feedback surveys are everywhere: at the bottom of cash-register receipts, at the end of phone calls with customer-service reps, and clogging the email inbox. Recently, I saw an electronic touch screen in an airport bathroom, soliciting my impression of cleanliness.
This barrage underscores the importance that many companies now place on customer experience. But it has diminishing returns, as many people don’t want to answer more surveys. No wonder that response rates have been declining for years. Yet without feedback, how can companies keep in touch with their customers’ needs and priorities?

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.

I once robbed an entire organization. An office filled with people. Robbed by me. Their leader.
Every year, our small organization conducts 360-feedback surveys and employee engagement surveys. The results improve the leadership and culture that keep us lean, innovative and high-performing. Whether to make the surveys anonymous is a perennial conversation. Each time we traverse the idea of anonymity, one of my mental floorboard creaks, but I’ve never quite pinpointed why.
