The late Steve Jobs said at a 1997 Apple World Worldwide Developers Conference, “You’ve got to start with the Customer Experience first and work backward towards the technology.” Now, in 2021, this quote couldn’t be any more pertinent than it was nearly 25 years ago.

Proactive is a key word for me for the future of experiences and customer strategy. Anticipating the needs of your customers is going to be the next level of exceeding their expectations. However, to be proactive, you need to add a new voice into the mix with the “Voice of the Customer (VoC).” It’s the “Voice of the Product (VoP),” and it can tell you a lot about what your customers want.

What would it be like if your printer sent you an email to let you know it needed ink? Or if your car could tell you that you need to take it in for transmission service? Or if your refrigerator could tell the repair professional what was wrong with it before you ever said a word? Sound like a futuristic take on product technology? It is, and it’s called the Internet of Things (IoT).

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.
