So it turns out that the voice of your customer is pretty darn important. Gartner found that 95 percent of companies regularly listen to their customer’s feedback, and yet rather worryingly, Gartner’s research also concluded that only 29 percent of firms with VOC programs in place incorporate VOC data into their decision-making processes, while nearly three-quarters of brands don’t consider their VOC programs to be very effective at driving actions. In other words, the benefits of VOC data collection are clear and well received — but brands are struggling to make their VOC programs impactful.

Customers are all that really matter. You can build the slickest products in the world and offer seemingly amazing services, but if people aren’t buying and using them, it’s all for naught.
Internal stakeholders talk about customers all the time, but rarely beyond the anecdotal or hypothetical context. “I heard” or “I think” customers want something is about as deep as most folks go. But, to provide a solution that is valued, loved and appreciated, companies need a far deeper understanding of what customers really desire and care about. This insight can’t be stored in isolated pockets of the company, nor can organizations rely on a single “customer expert.”

COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works for the support team at Hiver and most of the world alike. With social isolation becoming the need of the hour, we transitioned into a remote team overnight.

This shortsightedness creates an unsustainable environment that gives customers the sense of a disjointed company and employees left confused on how they can provide the best experience for their customers.
