For both marketers and retailers, the most influential technologies available were those that used customer – and even employee – data to improve experiences and make marketing smarter, more streamlined, and ultimately a more profitable venture.

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.

Some great communicators are born that way. Most of us have to work at it. But it’s worth it. Words are powerful. Used well they can move us, inspire us, motivate us to action. Used poorly, they can make us lose hope. The very best customer service can be undermined by the wrong tone of voice. Yet the worst complaint can be defused and fixed if you get it right.
