Gathering customer feedback is essential to building stronger relationships with your customers. One important feedback avenue to consider is social listening, where you monitor online conversations to understand what customers are saying about your company and products or services.
Not only is social listening cost-effective when done well, but outlets like Twitter and Facebook are where customers engage with each other to share and talk through their brand experiences. Even if you offer customer surveys or have a contact us form, social listening offers up more unique and detailed information simply because online is where customers feel the most comfortable being open and honest.

Stories are a better way to learn a customer's true experience, and the value they received. Of course, you can ask for examples on your surveys. But nothing replaces a conversation where you can go deep. Probe through dialogue. Gather real insights rather than platitudes.

How many of us follow the same purchasing habits today as we did even five years ago? Very few. How many businesses rely on the same sales and marketing approach as they did five years ago?
More than you would think.
In the rapidly evolving digital era, the rules have been (and are still being) fundamentally rewritten. It used to be the supplier who created interest in their products and services, pushing out information and offers as part of lead generation campaigns. But now it is the consumer who is firmly in charge of their journey to purchase.

The business climate is changing fast, regardless of what sceptics say. To adapt to the new environment, businesses across all sectors need to understand the magnitude of the shifts taking place. They may seem small and incremental right now, but would you know when a critical mass is reached? And would you know well enough in advance to plan for it?
Just think of climate change as an analogy and the City of Cape Town as an example of how catastrophic the results can be when you don’t pay attention to the small changes, or wait and act when it’s already too late.

A common misconception among digital marketers is thinking that online user feedback and online reviews are one and the same. And we can’t exactly blame them. On the surface these two appear to be almost identical: both collect input (Voice of the Customer data) from online visitors and customers, both include user ratings or scores, both are used to build a loyal customer base, and so on. But the truth is, they serve two very different purposes….

A key thing to remember is that customers — the people who pay to use your product — should be central to everything you do. It sounds simple, but when you have free users in addition to paying customers, things get a bit trickier.
