So, here it is: There are some who say that they, as customer service professionals, have been trained to act the part to be happy to serve. They believe they are acting.

Many leaders are tasked with developing customer feedback programs, including how and when to send surveys, where to insert feedback tools like kiosks or chatbots, and how to report on the feedback once it’s gathered.

Or you solved their problem for them. You were happy because, in the end, they were satisfied. But their satisfaction does not guarantee their return. The good news is that your satisfied customers didn’t complain.

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.
