Thursday July 12th, 2018 - CXFS 2018 (Customer Experience for Financial Services)
Session: Panel REMIX Part One: Are You Even Listening to Me?! Strengthening Your VoC Program to Make Sure Your Customers Are Being Heard - https://cxfinance.wbresearch.com/2018-agenda-day-3

Abstract: The changes you make to your customers experience are only as good as the insights you receive from them. And you only receive good insights if you are truly listening to everything they’re saying. This can often involve a whole team of VoC masters who know what listening posts to be pulling insights from and how valid the insights are that they pull from those posts.

  • What should you be listening to, when should you be listening to it and how are you collecting what you hear? 

  • What are other ways to capture customer feedback outside of surveys?

  • How are you leveraging existing resources and sources of feedback before further investment?

  • Is it possible to streamline the constant influx of feedback so that it can be digested and acted upon?

  • Can you easily communicate progress on the most frequent pain points to your whole customer base?
