It's understanding the sentiment expressed by customers that counts. That makes sentiment analysis key to improving experiences, refining strategies, and driving growth. But imagine you're getting hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of feedback.

In Listen or Die , I wrote about a common misconception: that CX measurement (or Voice of the Customer, VoC) is the same as market research (MR). Its not! Both are critical, but they serve different purposes. Market research is about using customer feedback to answer strategic business questions. Its anonymous, often based on small, statistically relevant samples, and designed to provide aggregated insights into broad topics, like product preferences or advertising effectiveness.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
