'Customer experience vs customer service: a war of words? The debate rages on between supporters of customer experience and fans of customer service. The former argue that customer experience is holistic, it covers the whole range of interactions between the company and its customers, pre-sale, during the sale itself and post-sale. In their vision, they reduce customer service to processes put in place when clients need problems fixed or when they wish to notify the company of their new address.

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.

If you want the best investors, the best talent and the best partners, you need to put some very impressive numbers on the board every quarter. Oh, and you have to achieve these targets while segmenting and driving down the Cost of Customer Acquisition (CAC) at the same time.
