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?

Many feedback programs fall short in two ways. They aren’t real time, or they aren’t delivered to the right person when it counts.
Quarterly customer service surveys carry an inherent flaw – they depend on customer’s memories, which dramatically deteriorate over time. Surveys about large purchases can also be subject to cognitive dissonance bias. Customers making purchases with a large degree of commitment try to convince themselves that they made the right choice. They will look more positively on a large purchase due to cognitive dissonance, and this bias appears in post-purchase surveys.

Since digitization, prospective customers of a company or brand have better access to social media and online content and therefore good opinions from existing customers can sway their opinions and in turn affect sales. Today, customer experience has become imperative to scale business growth in a competitive economy. As of now, companies are heavily investing in technologies such as conversational chatbot, use of virtual reality in retail, machine learning to process customer feedback to tailor their strategies.

Unlike customer-facing teams, marketers don’t always hear directly from the people they’re speaking to. Instead, they rely on metrics and intuition to understand the end consumer. Good data and marketing chops go a long way, but they don’t tell you everything. If you’re not tapping into your audience for feedback, then you’re leaving insights (and revenue) on the table.
In this post, we’ll cover the benefits of collecting content feedback and share some tips on doing it well.

Over the last few years the financial services sector has made significant improvements in the decisions it makes that affect customers. The major fines that resulted in big newspaper headlines a decade ago have dwindled, but at the same time customers still lack trust. A YouGov poll last year found that more than half of British consumers (55%) don’t think banks are working in their customers’ best interests. Given that it has never been so easy to switch a bank account or change insurance companies this has long-term negative consequences for financial institutions.
Today’s more demanding, sceptical consumers won’t hesitate to jump ship if they feel they are not getting the service they want, so it is incumbent upon companies offering financial services to improve customer satisfaction, build loyalty and reduce churn. Surely this is common sense? Making customers happier increases their long-term commitment, provides up-sell and cross-sell opportunities and drives profitability. Which begs the question, why is this still a problem?
The likelihood is that the financial services sector is not effectively listening to client feedback.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could predict how much revenue you’d be receiving 2 months from now? 6 months from now? A year from now? Finance departments take lots of factors into consideration when trying to make long-term revenue predictions, but often fall short because they’re not seeing the whole picture. In this edition of #CXSecrets, I’m going to reveal how measuring customer experience can help companies more accurately predict long-term revenue.

For your business to be successful, you’re probably doing everything you can to satisfy your customers. But how do you know if your efforts are actually paying off? We’re all aware that in today’s digital age, where social media is a powerful tool in the hands of people, customer experience can make or break a business. Both happy and unhappy customers wield much greater power than their counterparts from a decade ago. A happy post or an angry rant – both can go viral on social media, affecting your business in a way that you never imagined!
