Launching a business is incredibly exciting, particularly if you’re fresh to the world of entrepreneurialism. Everything feels raw and vital: a bright future is ahead of you, and you’re ready to chart the course of your destiny. However… it isn’t that simple. Whether you’re planning to sell products or offer a service, you’re going to be dealing with customers — which means taking all the ideas that you’ve kept private and subjecting them to broad scrutiny.

Real-time customer feedback is a type of qualitative data collection, in which you receive live feedback from visitors on your website or mobile app. With real-time customer feedback, you can immediately see the needs and wishes of your visitors as well as monitor for potential problems such as bugs or missing information in the customer journey.

How do your customers really feel about your company? To find out, you could train employees to ask for feedback after each transaction, then feed those responses into a database. You could subject customers to a lengthy survey. You might also host periodic focus group meetings.
Or you could ask customers one simple question — and use their answers to determine your Net Promoter Score (NPS).

Businesses invest money and time on outside market research firms that bring together focus groups for product testing. The resulting feedback from a very small sample of prospective customers is frequently incorporated across business operations from product development to messaging and go-to-market strategy, indiscriminately. On top of all that, vocal executive teams will also want to weigh in on the process. In the end, the marketing team has blown a hole in their budget and makes major bets based on third-party recommendations.

Our client, a major manufacturer of various simulators, hypothesized they had an opportunity innovate on how doctors trained for a particular set of invasive medical procedures. For decades, training for these types of procedures was carried out using plastic models or pig cadavers, but neither captured the look and feel of the human body, and both involved considerable expense. In some countries, students trained on actual patients, which had its dangers. Was there a better way? The innovation team at this leading simulator manufacturer had built a prototype that used a dramatically different technology – 3D virtual reality simulation – but needed to test its appeal with end users and purchase decision makers.

Old-school marketing techniques that include guesswork held up by flimsy market research don’t always reflect what consumers want. But now retailers can eliminate the guesswork and incorporate real consumer feedback to gain a competitive edge.
Plus, Millennials are excited to work with robots, complain to robots, and date robots, so it comes as no surprise that they want robots to help them pick out an outfit, an automobile, or a weekend getaway.
