The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Internal call centers, operated by a brand’s employees, offer a sense of control over the CX ecosystem. However, in-house operations are resource intensive and require a substantial investment.
