Maximizing the value of customer feedback
Article Abstract:
A Technical Assistance Research Programs, Inc. survey reveals that despite spending millions of dollars on voice of the customer (VOC) feedback, companies fail to improve their profits. Inefficient data collection procedures, inconsistent classification systems and failure to perform effective analysis are some of the problems in most of the VOC company programs. The integration of data sources, fast feedback channels, companywide incentives and formal systems for tracking the VOC influence are some of the ways to enhance the VOC process.
