A common phrase we repeatedly hear from our clients. And of course they do – to some extent. For most client web projects, we regularly recommend implementing a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program to take “knowing your customers” to a deeper level and use it to drive better business results.

It all started with a new Christmas decoration my wife had set her heart on. She’d been back and forth wondering if she should buy it. Last weekend, we found ourselves back in the store, where she eventually decided it would be ideal for a space on the hallway table.

Voice of the Customer (VoC) is much more than an actual voice. It is a combination of voices captured at various customer touch points. It is an intricate process used to capture both quantitative and qualitative information from customers. Information such as their requirements, preferences and feedback; in other words, a gold mine of data! This information is what you’re supposed to be using to chisel away what the customer don’t want and deliver the best quality product or service. What you may think is an excellent addition to your product or service may be an annoyance to the customer, and the VoC helps you identify that – forcing you to look at things from the customers’ perspective.

This process looks different for every organization, and in my case here at HubSpot, we shared VoC with something as simple as an email subscription. But it's critical that the final results of this customer perspective with the broader organization -- not just the customer success team -- because as I learned from the diagrams above, my team isn't the only one playing a role in if a customer stays or churns.

There is no doubt that creating a competitive advantage in today’s business environment is about much more than having great products and attaching the right price tag. With informed customers expecting much more, CEOs are turning to customer experience (CX) strategies to build the kind of sustainable advantage that leads to business outcomes and long-term success. To establish and maintain CX as a critical business strategy, the direction and discipline naturally starts at the top.
In other words, today’s successful companies need customer-focused CEOs.

If your investment in voice-of-the-customer (VoC) is intended to help you grow revenue, then VoC in business-to-business (B2B) situations should represent all of the influencers of buying decisions, As shown in the recent article in Understanding Business-to-Business Purchase Decisions, only a third of B2B companies are identifying and collecting inputs from all of the buying influencers. And still fewer are consolidating the viewpoints to create a holistic picture of reality.

As the customer experience profession matures, one thing has become clear: CX professionals can’t have a strong impact unless the surrounding culture is supportive. And creating such a culture is difficult.
In a forthcoming study by Walker, CX professionals listed “developing a customer-centric culture” as the most effective way to meet customers’ changing needs. Fewer than half, however, stated that customer focus has a significant influence on their company’s culture. In other words, CX professionals believe a culture focused on customers can make a big difference, but they don’t feel their colleagues are catching on.
