'Understanding the voice of your customer is key in today’s competitive business landscape, as is developing a customer-centric management style which focuses on understanding and maintaining compelling, positive high-quality experiences for your customers.
Internet and intranet communication allows organizations to hold ongoing conversations with the people they serve. This gives them access to an enormous amount of potentially valuable information. Natural language understanding and deep learning are key to tapping into this information and to revealing how to better serve their audiences.
In this blog, I will discuss the different ways that deep learning can take you to the next level of understanding the voice of your customer including: the importance of qualitative data (unstructured feedback); the role of analytics in the analysis of qualitative data for VoC; and the role and promise of deep learning for applications (including AI Assistant).'

While Voice of the Customer (VoC) programmes are now commonplace, there is still a big range in the maturity and rigour of these projects within enterprises.
For many organisations, the temptation is to tackle customer feedback by simply blitzing it - collecting lots of data from lots of customers, gathering as much feedback as possible. However, unless there are concrete plans about what to actually do with the data being collected, then this is futile – it’s just listening for the sake of listening, rather than listening for the sake of improving the experience. And this is common.

The future of customer experience (CX) is sure to be influenced by artificial intelligence, digitalization, the sharing economy, generational preferences, cross-pollinated expectations and much more. That’s exciting, yet the future of customer experience management (CXM) is calling out for significant shifts beyond the trends and forces in technology, socio-economics and competitive environments. The future is urgently calling for us to shift to company-wide alignment with CX. Here’s why:

'Staying current with ever-changing tech trends is now de rigueur for any modern marketing executive. One of the first things Jim Lyski did after becoming CMO of CarMax in 2014 was to go on a “digital safari” to Silicon Valley with the company’s new CIO and other senior executives. They spent three days meeting with leading tech and venture capitalist firms, getting up to speed on emerging technologies.
“Google is happy to show you not only what they’re doing but what they’re going to concentrate on over the next year,” Lyski says. “Facebook, Adobe, Oracle and IBM Watson will do the same thing. If you’re not talking to the experts that are reshaping our industry, you’re missing the boat. This industry changes at breakneck speed. If you don’t put in the effort to stay abreast of everything, you’ll blink and be left behind.”'

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.

A good value proposition is the answer to the question ‘why should I buy from you and not one of your cheaper competitors?’
How well you answer that question in one line determines how much impact you will have on prospective customers and your site’s conversion rate. A well crafted unique value proposition is pivotal.
When challenged with the task of coming up with a strong value proposition for their brand, most executives tend to concoct a verbose blend of ambiguous words that have little meaning to the end consumer who’s just looking for a solution to a problem.
Words and phrases like “leveraging precision and proficiency to deliver excellence” might win you points in a spelling bee, but not with busy consumers who need quick solutions to real problems.

Great customer service experiences are few and far between, so when you have a good one, it makes a serious impression. Today, most companies don’t let their customers connect, hear a live voice -- a positive one, at that -- and build loyalty to the brand. An interaction with customer service is often the first step toward alienation, not bonding. But for brands that do it right, the contact makes a different kind of impact -- a good one.

Planning season is well upon us and I’ll bet there are more than a few leadership teams hoping find a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program under the budget tree for next year. What’s not to like? VoC programs drive more sales, reduce service escalations, improve user experiences and have us sprinkling delight and enchantment across the land!
