In the age of the Customer Experience (CX), these insights are paramount to designing an online and offline experience that is superior to what your competitors are offering.

2018 has been declared as a year of reckoning by Forrester. At the top of Forrester’s 2018 prediction is the claim that Customer Experience (CX) programs have hit a wall. Practitioners have generated a great deal of activity around journey mapping, voice-of-customer programs, and implementing quick wins.
But this is where they hit a wall. The latest Forrester CX Index demonstrated that, for some companies, scores actually declined and others reached a plateau. In a word, CX programs are “stuck.”
So, how can we unstick our CX programs and generate greater momentum in what was once declared a centerpiece of the CEO’s agenda? Here are seven tips to help move your CX program in the right direction.

Voice of the customer (VOC) initiatives have gone mainstream. Unfortunately, too many companies doom their VOC programs from the start.
The problem isn't that brands aren’t collecting feedback. In fact, companies are gathering more feedback from customers and visitors than ever before.
The problem is that brands fail to realize the primary value of VOC data. Information culled via customer feedback is valuable because it creates internal alignment and provides insights that allow brands to execute quicker than the competition.

It’s no secret that it costs 5 to 25x more to acquire a new customer than it does to keep a current one. It should also come as no surprise then that it’s much easier to sell to an existing customer than a new one. Marketing Metrics reports that businesses only have a 5-25% chance of selling to a new prospect, but they have a 60-70% chance of selling to a returning customer.
The inbound methodology is all about helping customers at every step of the buyer’s journey and beyond to turn happy customers into promoters. So, how do you know your customers are happy? And if they’re not, how are you handling their concerns? What else do they need that you could offer them?
Actively collecting and listening to customer feedback is a process called Voice of the Customer (VoC). VoC is about knowing how your customers perceive your company, how they feel about the products/services they've purchased, and what other needs they may have that you can address.

Sentiment analysis is widely used to supplement the analysis of text data in surveys, complaints, reviews and other customer feedback. In theory, sentiment analysis categorises opinions expressed in a piece of text just as a human might.
However, as the volume and complexity of customer data grows, growing issues with sentiment analysis are providing flawed information and stopping companies from getting the full picture from their data; key customer feedback that could drive positive business change is being missed.
For those who have used sentiment analysis it is likely that you have experienced these inaccuracies – from skewed sentiment percentages and incorrect tagging, to completely missing key business insights.

Businesses know that to compete and grow today, understanding the voice of the customer (VoC) across channels is vital. It's become the norm –– and the technology to help them get there is already being implemented. However, customer feedback data isn't the only source of valuable information. When it comes to transforming customer experience, employee experience is another critical piece of the puzzle.
Contact center employees are the face of the company. As the primary customer experience representatives and practitioners, they not only interact with customers on a daily basis, they often have a very good view of the business’ operational performance. So to transform the customer journey end-to-end, businesses need to realize the critical role voice of the employee (VoE) can play with VoC to positively impact loyalty and the company's bottom-line.

GDPR may be one of the hottest topics in the business world today, causing many organizations to rethink and revise how they approach many of their everyday practices.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, aims to increase the protection and privacy of personal data, also known as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), for all EU residents.
In the age of the GDPR, consent and managing individual’s rights are crucial. Because of this, Voice of the Customer (VoC) research may become an even more important source of data and insights to marketers wanting to understand better and improve the Customer Experience (CX).
In this post, we look at why.

The travel industry, one of the world’s largest industries, has changed drastically over the last few years as a result of digitisation.

You guessed it, the Voice of the Customer must become a top priority.

As marketers, we can be too quick to chase innovation for innovation’s sake. Shiny, new digital platforms that have a lot of buzz about them can tempt brands in but too often they don’t deliver on the promise and become white elephants.
At Just Eat, our vision is to create the world’s greatest food community. In essence, connecting customers with the restaurants (and the food) they want around the world.
Our diverse restaurant partners, be they a local curry house, an up-and-coming cafe in Manchester or a national brand, such as KFC, are our lifeblood. Everything we do is focused on delivering on that partnership. From a marketing perspective this means we need to continually find ways to connect our customers with our restaurant partners through whatever platform the consumer wants to find them.
