The use of metrics is a practice businesses apply to nearly all aspects of their organisation. Whether that’s finance, competition, customer requirements, expectations, employee performance, or marketing, metrics matter. Metrics reflect and support the strategies of these business areas, giving us leverage to improve in any way we can. So why would this be any different when collecting online customer feedback? And while we’re on the subject, what is a customer feedback metric?

"Back in 2015, I wrote a post titled Hey! You Got Your Metrics in My Journey Map! In it, I advocated for mappers to add data to their journey maps. I wrote that…
…mapping tools had to evolve because people failed to see the value in mapping with the then-current approaches; in addition, maps were not proving to be that catalyst for change that they are designed to be. In order to be that catalyst, maps have to be actionable. And the only way they can be actionable is if you have some data to support or to drive that action. Executives love data and metrics, right? Data-driven decisions are all the rage, and rightly so.
What kind of data? There’s no shortage of data, right?! Obviously, the data needs to be related to the journey you’re mapping, but here are some examples of the types of data you can add to the map."

Contact center Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) are used by SMB and enterprise companies to make better business decisions and improve the customer experience. Also called metrics, KPIs are the measurable values that show just how effective your business is at achieving its goals.
In our last couple blogs, we touched upon the top agent KPIs and team KPIs that your contact center should be tracking. We also covered the real-time metrics that supervisors use on a daily basis to monitor the status and productivity of their agents.
This time, we’ll check out some of the most used services metrics that show how your services are doing. A service is a specific reason for customers to initiate an interaction with a contact center, or, in the case of outbound dialing, for a contact center to initiate an interaction with a customer. In the contact center space, a service typically means the type of channel that connects the customer to the business: voice, email, chat, and so on.

Amazon sellers are buzzing about a new metric called Customer Experience (CX) found in a dashboard called “Voice of the Customer.” It’s an interesting label, as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is reportedly so customer-focused that he leaves an empty chair at some meetings to represent the customer, “the most important person in the room.”
But will the new metric get sellers to be as obsessed with customer satisfaction as Bezos is? Or will sellers see it as an indication that Amazon doesn’t always recognize sellers are customers too who need to be protected by “bad” buyers?
The Voice of the Customer dashboard displays the Customer Experience Health of a seller’s offers and customer comments that are meant to help sellers identify product and listing issues so they can take action to resolve problems.

For years price, product and quality were most important. Organizations didn’t even think of their customer needs. Nowadays the Voice of the Customer is more important than ever. In the previous blog we gave an introduction about what Voice of the Customer is and the importance of listening to the customer. The question is not so much why you want to use VOC for your organization, but when you start with it to improve customer focus.

Customer experience professionals know that, in order to deliver a great experience, companies must listen to customers, link customer feedback to transactional (and other) data, and act on what they hear. There’s an old Gartner statistic that I still like to share because I believe it’s relevant to this day:
95% of companies collect customer feedback, yet only 10% use the feedback to improve, and only 5% tell customers what they are doing in response to what they heard.
This statistic is a good, high-level representation of how companies have matured or evolved (or haven’t) along the continuum of data-driven success.
Let’s take a closer look at that continuum. And let’s assume that Phase 0 is not listening or looking at data at all.

The Measurement Minute #10 with Gary Angel : Getting Voice of Customer (VoC) Right
VoC is a primary driver of more strategic analytics. But using it that way demands a shift from scoreboard metrics to investigating the real drivers of customer decision-making.
