I’ve noticed something interesting about voice of the customer (VoC) programs lately. The line between VoC, customer experience (CX) and customer insights or analytics seems to be blurring. Take the Gartner definitions for these terms:

Voice of the Customer (VoC) software is intended to capture the opinions and preferences of online customers, analyse those insights, and supply businesses with the means to create meaningful changes in digital customer experience (CX). As priorities are continuously being placed on CX initiatives, it’s safe to say that these kinds of software aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Not to mention, having a VoC programme in place has become increasingly more popular and essential, especially as more and more businesses (nearly 72% to be precise) continue to place CX as their top priority. So how do you know which type of VoC software is right for your business?

CX professionals may not like to admit it, but one of the benefits of a low customer satisfaction score is plenty of room for improvement and potential easy wins. But what do you do if your customer satisfaction is already high?
For Shaun Wilton, Deb Heaphy and the rest of the CX team at Carsales.com, being at the top of their game is no reason to rest on their laurels. Working with technology from Zendesk, the team has dug deeper into customer insights to create a voice-of-customer (VoC) approach that seeks to deliver the best outcome for customers in all instants.

In the U.K, the number of Chief Customer Officers across all industries increased from 14 in 2014 to 90 in 2017; half of those roles were created in the last 15 months. The average tenure also lengthened from 23 months in 2009 to 34.5 months in 2013 but it still has the shortest lifespan among all C-suite executives, according to research conducted in 2010 by the Chief Customer Officer Council.
Recently, I was talking to a client who had been approached about moving from one area of her business to another. The proposed role was as Head of CX. Although she came from a customer facing sales environment, she sought guidance on how she might hit the ground running if she decided to take up this new role. She was concerned that inevitably there would be pressure on her to deliver results quickly and make an impact, despite not having previous experience of the role at this level.

Every day is a new opportunity to learn how disconnected businesses are with their customers. But it's also a chance to discover the secret to better experience is really quite simple. All you need to do is listen.
Consider this. I recently spent 63 minutes glued to my phone trying unsuccessfully to resolve a health insurance issue. Five phone calls. A dozen transfers. Multiple hang-ups. Inconsistent information. Contradictory advice.
Come on now, I wondered. Is this any way to treat a customer?

When it comes to customer loyalty it’s very easy for businesses to focus on those people that have had problems or issues and want to complain.

The digital transformation is upon us: a movement that is drastically reshaping the way organisations operate and how they deliver value to their customers.
