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.

Website feedback tools and the VoC data we collect using these tools has become the backbone of the customer experience. These tools yield businesses with a more simplified way of opening up a dialogue with their online visitors as well as gain a deeper understanding into how they experience the website, mobile app or in a more general sense, the brand itself. With a surplus of these tools on the market, it can be rather challenging to select the right tool for your business. So don’t be hasty – take your time and evaluate your options…let’s start off with one of the more seasoned tools, Feedbackify.

Listening to your customers and using the feedback generated is widely considered essential to business success, so how do you make sure the your Voice of the Customer investment and activities will make a difference?

As customer experience grows as the key differentiator between businesses offering the same services or products, brands need to be listening to their customers.
According to a study by Walker, by the year 2020, customer experience will be more important than even the price of a product. Meaning that customers won’t care that they have to pay more if they know they will receive exceptional treatment.

To satisfy the needs of your customers, it is crucial to understand what they want. Indeed, they have a wealth of information to share, probably even more than you think. Getting their feedback can help you provide better services and develop better products.
Moreover, customer feedback provides business owners with valuable insights that can help them improve the overall customer experiences. According to the statistics, 91% of dissatisfied customers will leave you without any complaint, and you will never know what they didn’t like about your product or service.

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.

Voice of the Customer (VoC) software is intended to capture the opinions and preferences of online customers, analyse those insights, and supply businesses with the means to create meaningful changes in digital customer experience (CX). As priorities are continuously being placed on CX initiatives, it’s safe to say that these kinds of software aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Not to mention, having a VoC programme in place has become increasingly more popular and essential, especially as more and more businesses (nearly 72% to be precise) continue to place CX as their top priority. So how do you know which type of VoC software is right for your business?

I regularly do customer feedback surveys for competitive analysis purposes (full disclosure: ServiceDock is a CEM platform for multi-location businesses). For the most part, I am a genuine customer of the business when I do them and try to think as such, while also making notes on the survey solution. Some of these surveys can be extremely tedious and drawn out, but the most frustrating experience I frequently encounter is when I’m told that there is no chance of a follow-up on my feedback.
The real irony here is that the goal of the exercise is to improve CX, but the process offers terrible CX.
