A Hot and Cold Customer Experience.
On the way to a concert Sunday evening, my wife and I stopped to grab a quick meal at one of our regular tex-mex fast food restaurants. After patiently waiting in line, we got to the front and the server asked, “Can you wait a few minutes while I fill these on-line orders?”
I was not impressed with them giving priority to online customers over those who took the time and effort to be in the store, so I tweeted my displeasure. By the time we were sitting in our seats at the concert an hour later I had received an apologetic response from the company’s social media team and a promise to follow up.

This week, I read an online comment that Customer Experience is a part of Customer Success.

Instant gratification is here to stay—at least in the customer experience world. Thanks to technological advances, most consumers now expect brands to be available at a moment’s notice.

A common phrase we repeatedly hear from our clients. And of course they do – to some extent. For most client web projects, we regularly recommend implementing a Voice of the Customer (VoC) program to take “knowing your customers” to a deeper level and use it to drive better business results.

It all started with a new Christmas decoration my wife had set her heart on. She’d been back and forth wondering if she should buy it. Last weekend, we found ourselves back in the store, where she eventually decided it would be ideal for a space on the hallway table.

Voice of the Customer (VoC) is much more than an actual voice. It is a combination of voices captured at various customer touch points. It is an intricate process used to capture both quantitative and qualitative information from customers. Information such as their requirements, preferences and feedback; in other words, a gold mine of data! This information is what you’re supposed to be using to chisel away what the customer don’t want and deliver the best quality product or service. What you may think is an excellent addition to your product or service may be an annoyance to the customer, and the VoC helps you identify that – forcing you to look at things from the customers’ perspective.
