What is Voice of the Customer?
“Voice of the Customer” (VoC) refers to understanding how customers really feel. What is their perception of a business? What are their expectations? Are these expectations being fulfilled or is the customer dissatisfied? Are they satisfied with the service they are receiving in general?
Why is Voice of the Customer important?
Traditional customer analytics focuses on individual customer interviews and reviews to build up an understanding of the voice of the customer. However, this tends to be done on a small scale with a closed group of customers. It does not scale well and is far too expensive to be applied on a large scale.
On the other hand, in the Internet age, we have access to customer opinions on an internet-wide scale and tools to collect survey-responses on an unprecedented scale. To really understand the voice of the customer, it is obviously an advantage to look at a much larger sample of data.
