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.

Online reviews play a major role in shaping the purchase decisions of today’s consumers. Regardless of whether they’re choosing a new restaurant, a hotel, a car dealership, an insurance provider, or even a company to work for , people rely more than ever on the opinions of others — such as those voiced in online reviews.

There are lots of quotes about making mistakes, undoubtedly because we all mess up sometimes. Personally, my favorite of these quotes is “It’s not how we make mistakes, it’s how we correct them that defines us,” and this couldn’t be truer when it comes to customer service.
