An MIT Sloan/Google report last year pointed out that our current key performance indicators (KPIs) for customer experience are no longer accurate for today’s digital environment.

We asked some marketing professionals what they identify as the KPIs making a difference in their organizations.

A new study on brand feedback reveals just how minor the vocal minority really is. Research from Apptentive finds that most brands hear from less than 1% of their customers.

As a result of brands not being proactive in their efforts to gather feedback in non-intrusive ways, they only end up hearing from their smallest and most vocal group of customers.
