My wife and I were on the phone with our bank. They take care of our checking accounts and credit cards for our entire family, and we were having a problem transferring money from one account to another. The frustration began with fifteen minutes of hold time. Once the customer service representative came on the call, Cindy briefly described the problem.

It happened while I was working at the Hilton Newark Airport Hotel in 2003. We had a fantastic staff, happy employees and a robust business. One day there was a buzz that traveled all around the hotel.

There was a time that businesses relied on anonymous, aggregated customer feedback as the sole input for their customer strategies. And that time is quickly fading away, along with once-common practices like writing checks to pay monthly bills and physically signing mortgage application documents. Technology has created a new age. It has driven innovation in banking, and it has tranformed how businesses can ask for, and act on, customer feedback.

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.

When your operation is in its infancy, it’s easy to dispense personal, dedicated, effective customer support. However, as your business grows (and if you offer excellent customer service, chances are, it will), so will your support team. You’ll have to scale customer support, and this is where things get complicated. When your reach is limited, it’s easy to remember each and every client, to cultivate a personal relationship with them.

We obsess over how users and buyers could behave in the future instead of looking at what is in front of us now. What we should be asking is: What do my customers need and how can I help them?
