In the course of working with different companies throughout my career, I’ve found that leaders focused on serving customers’ lives as a way to grow their business often begin with an uncommon attitude. This attitude, in turn, leads to uncommon behaviors that build beloved companies. In the process, when these leaders speak and give interviews, they produce some amazing customer experience quotes.

In 2011, An American Express survey found that Americans tell an average of 9 people about good experiences and 16 people about poor experiences. Today, just five years later, people may still tell an average of 9 people about good experiences, but if they have a bad experience, they can now tell the entire world via social media. We have all seen the word “viral” tagged to a personal story about bad customer service more often than a good one.

When Starbucks recently announced changes to its rewards program, Twitter users lashed out at the coffee giant. They complained that the new program, which will award points based on the amount of money spent (rather than on the number of visits to Starbucks) will penalize regular customers who buy only small items, like a brewed coffee. Some vowed to defect to Dunkin’ Donuts.

Optimizing customer feedback is one of the most straightforward ways to gain momentum for customer focus. You don’t need to spend millions on a “satisfaction” survey. You only need to engage active leadership listening and direct the organization to hear your customers’ stories. By using the “one-company” listening path (competency 3) that your organization creates, you receive a constantly refreshing source of information organized by journey stage.

As a consumer, it is a priority for you to have as much information at your disposal before you make a purchase. Buying online has limitations, as you can’t physically see and feel the product you’re browsing. Online shopping never gets old. It’s a great distraction, and no matter what you need (or want), you can find it online. Ebay, Amazon, ASOS, Ali Express – they all exemplify websites that we have grown to depend upon.

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.
