Great customer experience in today’s business landscape begins with understanding what customers expect and demand from interactions with your brand. Taking a customer-centric mindset to CX means first listening to what customers have to say and then acting on their preferences and aversions. The voice of the customer (or VOC) consists of three distinct types of customer feedback: direct, inferred, and third-party.

There has been an incredible resurgence of voice as the new user interface of choice, and it remains the chief channel for complex customer inquiries and interactions. As a result, organizations have been getting serious about connecting their voice communications systems to their systems of action -- deeply embedding voice in the fabric of customer relationship management systems.

In today’s work environment, a void of effective feedback mechanisms exists, resulting in lower employee satisfaction and, ultimately, lower productivity. The primary driver behind lackluster performance management lies in the annual performance review.

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.
Customers rarely leave feedback in any form. Moreover, when they are inclined to leave feedback, they’re often met with a process that is clunky and time-consuming. 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.
