Why most companies miss the biggest financial benefits of customer feedback – by Guy Letts

Customer experience is important, that much we know. Readers of this blog won’t need persuading of the link between a company’s success and a great customer experience.

Voice of the Customer: It’s NOT About You! by Martha Brooke

What’s the point of doing a customer satisfaction survey? Well, rather obviously, to gauge how customers perceive you, and where their expectations are being—and not being—met. This requires walking in the customer’s shoes and designing your survey from the customer’s perspective. Sound simple? It is…sort of.

Voice of the Customer: It’s Time for a Global Customer Experience Wakeup Call

I often have to remind myself that I am in a privileged position in my chosen profession. I am privileged because a multitude of organisations welcome me in to their inner sanctum to help them in their quest to become more customer centric.

The customer feedback experience – an experience not to be taken for granted!

Last week I made a telephone call to my bank. A routine query, I chose to pick up the phone and call with my question, rather than use any other channel open to me. Having gone through the usual number selection process (or IVR as it is known technically), I was connected to a human. [...]
