Why CX and VoC Really Matter

Your customers are talking about your business, you can wait for them to pass you this feedback when it is too late or you can proactively reach out, listen, and solve problems through VoC.

The Golden Rule of Qualitative Before Quantitative

When budgets get tight and businesses need to get answers fast, many will immediately jump to a survey or other form of quantitative design. Decision-makers just don’t have the time to wait for a lengthy process of in-depth interviews (IDIs), focus groups, or shop-alongs. In these cases, the trade-off of a lengthier and more in-depth study does not outweigh the need to have data quickly, but like anything in business, more preparation and more attention put to the beginning of a process will almost always pay huge dividends at the end.

5 Reasons Why Your Business Needs CX

The problem with a lot of market research these days is that it is implied as temporary. It's viewed as a one-time solution and an answer to a specific problem a business is facing. Most customer or member satisfaction surveys for businesses are thought about annually, once every 18 months, or once every 3 years (sometimes longer.) However, the best organizations view market research as a staple in their strategic planning process.
