I saw a commercial the other day where the company offered a money-back guarantee for its product. That got me thinking, as these things often do, about guarantees. If we truly care about our customers, the customer experience, and keeping customers happy and returning, are guarantees a good idea?

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. 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.
