We are all suffering from survey fatigue. Every single store on a recent shopping trip asked us to fill in a survey by going to a URL the sales associate helpfully circled on the receipt. It sometimes feels as if you can’t undertake any retail transaction these days without being surveyed.
And how many of these do you fill in, or respond to? I’ve seen and heard industry statistics that suggest that up to 90 percent of customer experience surveys are ignored. Why?

One of the most common – and counterproductive – mistakes in business is making assumptions about your customers.
Having even the most dynamic marketing plan for a superb range of products is whistling in the wind if you haven’t established good two-way communication with your target market.
How can you be sure that your brand and customer service are properly focused, without a constant flow of customer feedback?
Even if you do online and offline surveys and research, that’s still not a substitute for active listening.

NPS, CES, and CSAT are customer loyalty metrics. They’re used to measure the level of loyalty that a customer has toward your brand. Customers are considered loyal when they consistently purchase from your brand over an extended period of time.
How do you get loyal customers? A great customer experience (CX), of course.
In recent years, research by CustomerThink, Forrester, and Gartner have found at least 70% of business leaders believe CX will help their companies differentiate in a world where products and services are increasingly commoditized, and competing based mainly on price is not a viable long-term strategy.
An indisputable key component of a customer experience strategy is the Voice of the Customer (VoC) program, also known as customer voice. It captures, analyzes and reports on all customer feedback—expectations, likes, and dislikes—associated with your company.
In your VoC program, there are two types of customer data that you should collect: structured data and unstructured data. Today, we’ll discuss the three most popular customer loyalty metrics that fall under the structured category—NPS, CES, and CSAT—and the role that each should play in your CX strategy.

Insurance is competitive. It can be hard to stay afloat in such a saturated field, let alone find an advantage over your competition.
Lead generation is essential, but any agency can duplicate your efforts, and it gets exponentially more expensive with scale. Is there a more sustainable method of achieving long-term growth and competitive advantage? The answer is surprisingly simple and yet almost universally ignored.

Online Surveys provide marketers with a simple and easy way to get in contact with a targeted audience and collect feedback. Not to mention, they are great for tracing product feedback, conducting market research, obtaining feedback on customer service and measuring customer AND employee satisfaction. Picking a suitable online survey software for your business can however be quite tricky – especially considering many of these tools seem to provide many of the same features.

It’s no secret that it costs 5 to 25x more to acquire a new customer than it does to keep a current one. It should also come as no surprise then that it’s much easier to sell to an existing customer than a new one. Marketing Metrics reports that businesses only have a 5-25% chance of selling to a new prospect, but they have a 60-70% chance of selling to a returning customer.
The inbound methodology is all about helping customers at every step of the buyer’s journey and beyond to turn happy customers into promoters. So, how do you know your customers are happy? And if they’re not, how are you handling their concerns? What else do they need that you could offer them?
Actively collecting and listening to customer feedback is a process called Voice of the Customer (VoC). VoC is about knowing how your customers perceive your company, how they feel about the products/services they've purchased, and what other needs they may have that you can address.
