Analytics goes hand in hand with today’s optimized customer experience strategy. Analytics is a tool that can be used at every step of the customer journey—from assessing and benchmarking customer support to gauging the voice of your customer for actionable business and product decision making.

I’ve always been intrigued when I hear customer success professionals refer to customer experience as customer success.

Everyone is well aware of the value that customer feedback can bring to your organization. Unfortunately, many companies fall into traps that prevent them from being able to get the most value out of this feedback.
