Every company wants to be customer-forward nowadays, probably because people know that, ultimately, it’s the customer that keeps them in business. Without the customer paying for your product, talking about your marketing and support, or referring their friends to you, you might not be able to afford to keep the lights on.

Breaking free from survey mentality with unstructured customer feedback. It’s hard to say exactly when or how it happened, but the phrase “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) has become nearly synonymous with survey process. When we consider today’s customer, and the methods by which they exercise their voice, we can do so much more. Consumers are not as likely to fill out surveys as they once were.
