Be hungry for negative feedback

The topic of the Voice of the Customer (VoC) has many branches and sub-categories.  Just on the topic of surveys alone (which is only a part of VoC), there are tons of thoughts: We discuss things like the formatting of surveys, the proper response rates, how and what sorts of questions to ask, which channel [...]

For a CX leader, don’t hire from within your industry

Are your Customers the goal…Or just part of the machine?

We sometimes have an officious way of dealing with our Customers, almost as though they’re the problem that we have to deal with.  As Customers ourselves, we witness this all the time, and surely as CX professionals and leaders we’re also more aware of it when we see it.  It’s interesting, then, that it ever [...]
