Customer feedback is information coming directly from customers about the satisfaction or dissatisfaction they feel with a product or a service. Customer comments and complaints given to a company are an important resource for improving and addressing the needs and wants of the customer. The information is procured through written or oral surveys, online forms, emails, letters, or phone calls from the customer to the company.

If your company is looking to generate feedback through a customer satisfaction survey, you’re not alone. In fact, 84 percent of companies report that they actively seek regular input from their consumers, and 89 percent of companies compete directly with other businesses based on the customer experience alone. This data emphasizes the importance of an effective Voice of the Customer (VoC) program, but unfortunately, many organizations are not using VoC programs to their full potential. Far too many businesses collect the feedback then forget about it during the decision-making process, and all of that rich, relevant data about the consumer experience is wasted.

Your ability to understand how to meet customer expectations has a significant impact on business strategy and overall success. A voice of the customer program provides you with insights that help deliver a superior customer experience. So, who owns the Voice of Customer? Think of the customer experience as a car. Voice of the Customer data is the fuel that allows that car to move. If you own the car you sure own the gasoline in its tank. Therefore, whoever owns the customer experience owns the voice of customer.

In the two years I’ve been at Gartner, I’ve had hundreds of calls and meetings with clients about customer experience (CX), and I am regularly struck with how misunderstood it remains.
CX is a hot topic in business today, which is evident not just from the many articles and blog posts you see but because 61 per cent of marketing leaders now report their companies have a CXO (Chief Experience Officer) or an equivalent role (although most do not report into the CMO).

Does your vision for customer experience match your customers’ vision? If yes, then you’re on your way to customer-centricity, and the growth touted by customer experience management. If your answer is “kinda”, then you’ll be leaving money on the table. Customers are the source of paychecks, budgets and dividends. Being in-sync with the hand that feeds you is common sense that may not be common practice.

The number one objective enterprises give for embarking on a digital transformation is to improve customer experiences with new engagement models, according to IDC’s 2017 global study.
This response will come as no surprise to CMOs. Marketing has been blazing this trail for more than a decade. And in most companies, the marketing leader has the best resume for leadership in this pivotal area. Yet in another IDC study, we found fewer than 10 per cent of US companies with CX initiatives believe those are primarily a marketing effort. Why?

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. It is crucial for service providers or manufacturers to find out the customer experience using various ways, such as feedback through surveys, interviews, observations, etc.
VOC (Voice of the Customer) is an organized practice to figure out the customer needs and integrate it as an integral part of the system. The benefit of incorporating the VOC tool into the existing system is that every customer feels honored and special, which inevitably encourages them to do more business with you.
There are several ways to gather the voice of the customer..

There’s a lot of talk that AI is the future, but the capabilities are already being widely used and it’s not really that scary, according to CEO of technology company Sherlok, Elisa Adams.
“AI is the new solution to better understanding the voice of the customer and while it does takes expertise, it doesn’t have to be overly complex or hard,” she told CMO during a recent interview.
