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.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know that online reviews are all the rage now. I love reading reviews…whether it’s booking a hotel, trying out a new restaurant, buying a new laptop, or even renting a movie.

Or nicely crafted stories by website copywriters, who never have used their clients’ products and services.

Telling customers what they don’t want to hear is one of the hardest things customer service employees will ever have to do.
