When our waiter flagged us down by the door, I assumed we had left something behind or forgotten to sign the credit card slip or something. My husband and I were walking out of a restaurant with our two boys, who were 9 and 12 at the time, while on vacation in Florida several years ago. I was so surprised when our server made such an effort to stop us to say that he appreciated how polite our boys were. “Please’s and thank you’s aren’t very common anyway, but especially

We’re now much more attuned to seeking the “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) than we were back when our only method for receiving customer feedback was the impersonal and often inefficient contact center. In the years that accompanied the rise of online commerce, social media and webchat, we’ve all learned that a customer feedback process that was dependent on a single support channel for customer insights was ultimately a process that wasn’t actually capturing any true insights at all.

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.

Customers expect to be able to interact with your organization whenever and however they want. They also expect your agents to have insights into their journeys so that they don’t have to repeat themselves as they move through various channels. And, if they’re not able to, they just might find one of your competitors who will offer the flexibility they are looking for.
