Capturing the voice of the customer (VoC) provides invaluable insights, but collecting and analyzing feedback can feel overwhelming to get started. Here are some important considerations when embarking on your initial VoC research:
- Define your objectives. Are you looking to improve satisfaction, drive new sales, or refine products? Knowing your goals focuses your efforts.
- Identify your customer personas. Who are the key types of customers you want to understand - new vs. loyal, personal vs. business users?
- Determine data sources. Will you gather feedback via surveys, social reviews, call center notes? Integrate sources for a complete picture.
- Craft your survey/discussion guide. Ask open-ended questions and keep it brief to avoid abandonment. Pilot test your questions first.
- Set a baseline. Conduct initial research to understand where you stand before implementing changes. This allows measurable improvement.
- Consider your analytics needs. Will you analyze results in-house or require advanced text/sentiment analysis capabilities?
- Start small and iterate. A pilot program with a subset of customers keeps things manageable. Refine your approach based on early learnings.
- Communicate your policy. Customers want to know their feedback makes a difference. Share how insights are used to drive decisions.
