Deciding how much of your product roadmap – if any – to show your customers can be an area of uncertainty. Your product roadmap is your company’s high-level and strategic goals documented, along with an execution strategy that communicates how you plan on getting there. Your product roadmap is relevant for anyone concerned with where your product is headed: the team, the board, and… the customer. Sharing your product roadmap with customers is key, but it can be difficult to do so without conjuring updates and features which will certainly change on the way. If you’re not careful, you might find yourself in dangerous territory, read on to stay away from common pitfalls.

ne often overlooked aspect of customer service is sourcing customer feedback. What many managers don’t understand is that customers are often willing to give feedback to brands they have done business with and some, in fact, are eager to do so!
Many companies do not take advantage of this and end up missing out on a chance to understand what their customers really want. Companies should, in fact, make it a priority to request feedback, and then act on the input received – especially important given that there is a strong correlation between customer feedback and customer loyalty.
Let’s explore why customer feedback is important and the best ways to capitalize on the feedback received.

“We really need to listen to the voice of the customer.”
If you’ve never heard this phrase before, then you either walk around with your headphones in all day or you’ve never worked at a startup. 89 percent of companies are using customer experience as a way to differentiate and compete.
If 9 in 10 companies are investing in voice of customer (VoC), isn’t it about time you did, too?

Let’s just be honest. C-level leaders don’t take a lot of web surveys.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t NEED their feedback. It also doesn’t mean they don’t WANT to share feedback. Without it, sometimes we’re looking at a very incomplete picture of the customer experience.
This is particularly true in certain types of industries and companies where the business hinges on high-ranking relationships, long-term contracts and large dollar value transactions. In these cases, a unique approach is needed to gather feedback from top decision makers in your largest accounts.
