Lesson #8: VoC Is Not The Same Thing As Market Research, But They're Converging

PeopleMetrics

SEPTEMBER 24, 2018

Market research was developed a century ago to measure the effectiveness of advertisements and products. However, market research and Voice of the Customer (VoC) are not the same. In fact, certain key principles of market research actually hold back VoC and the value that some companies get out of their VoC programs.

PeopleMetrics

JULY 17, 2018

As noted previously, the term VoC is frequently used to describe the measurement of the customer experience; so is the term customer experience management (CEM). A consulting firm mentioned in the introduction, Forrester , coined a third term: customer feedback management (CFM).

CX Secrets: The Importance of Aligning CX with Marketing

PeopleMetrics

FEBRUARY 21, 2018

Customer Experience often lives within Marketing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the two are always aligned. There is even more room for disparity when CX lives in departments other than Marketing. When advertising doesn't align with experience. Your advertising and marketing should be consistent with that.

Lesson #9: VoC Programs Are Not Old-School CSAT Tracks

PeopleMetrics

FEBRUARY 20, 2019

Ten-plus years ago, market research firms offered what was called customer satisfaction tracking, or CSAT for short. Usually on a quarterly basis, they would utilize large telephone interviewing centers for a week or two, calling customers and asking about overall satisfaction levels (usually not most recent experiences).
