Every leader I’ve ever worked with is concerned about, and wants to prevent, customer defection. As we all know, though, customer defection does happen — and often it happens because of unclear issues around that same leadership.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. 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.

Silence is one thing, satisfaction is another, as every customer experience manager knows or will soon learn.
