This can include the customer’s opinions, complaints, suggestions, and compliments. The goal of customer feedback is to understand and meet customer needs and expectations to improve products, services, and overall customer satisfaction.

For many organizations, in-house customer care feels like the right choice. It keeps you close to your customers and ready to serve them with your comprehensive knowledge of your products or services. But doing it all in-house also comes with its pain points, and, if customer care is looked at internally as just a necessary service function for your true core competency/offering, it is possible you’re selling your customers short, when it comes to service.

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.

So, this week, I encourage you to remind yourself and your colleagues of this: Customers pay for their experience, not your product or service. They buy with emotion and justify their decision with reason. Customers seek the best emotional value in their experience, not your logically reasonable best price, product, or service.

These have led to a softening of consumer spending. An item that was worth $1 in 2020 now costs $1.21. The once “almighty dollar” has lost the purchasing power it once had.

Our customer experience research shows that while customers might prefer the human touch, some expect digital, self-service solutions. In certain cases, they even demand it. And it’s not just in customer service. Consider Amazon, the perfect example of a self-service retailer. From researching to purchasing a product, and even in most customer service situations, everything is a self-service experience.
