If we look back through history, many of the greatest technological innovations have necessitated change – especially among businesses. Take the internet, for example. The World Wide Web went live a little over twenty-five years ago and took the business world by storm.

When a customer is dissatisfied with the overall experience of purchasing a product or receiving services from an organization, the business is highly likely to suffer a huge amount of loss in the future.

Most companies don’t have a robust voice of the customer (VoC) program. Only 42% use technology to support a VoC program, which means they either don’t have a program at all, or the program is ad-hoc and limited in its reach.
