"We put the customer first!"
You've definitely heard this phrase before -- and probably from more than one company. This statement is a foundational promise in countless mission statements, website headlines, and choruses of customer service teams everywhere. Today, it's hard to find a company that doesn't say, "we put the customer first" in some part of their messaging.
But here's a tough question: how many of these companies go beyond a marketing message and actually take the necessary steps to put their customers first?
According to new HubSpot research -- not nearly enough of them. We found that an astonishing 42% of companies don't survey their customers or collect feedback.
How can your company claim to put the customer first if you aren't making the effort to listen to what your customers have to say?
