Your VoC will make a difference
This is in our experience the best way to start your Voice of the customer journey:
Start by setting up the right objectives
A Voice of the customer (VoC) is much more than just a tool to do market research. The objective of a best practice VoC is to achieve the following four goals simultaneously:
-
Training of your people to build a customer-centric culture
-
Strengthen the relationship with your customers
-
Get real and groundbreaking customer insights
-
Become a fact-driven organization
Achieving the above objectives will have a dramatic impact on your customer value, profitability and growth. One study made by the Aberdeen Group showed that the VoC best practices companies had 10 times greater year-over-year increase in annual company revenue (48.2% vs. 4.9%) compared to average companies. You need to set bold targets and get management buy-in on these objectives to motivate the effort.
Create awareness and knowledge
Use the videos in the Customer value challenge or our Flipbooks to create awareness of what it is you need to do to reach the bold objectives. A VoC is not a quick-fix solution, and people need to understand that you need to invest people, time and resources to achieve the goals. Most people are willing to do that, but you have to inform them about the 8 steps required. To buy a few copies of our flipbook and hand out to critical decision-makers or set up some meetings and watch the Customer value challenge videos will only cost you a few Euros. It gets you started on your journey.
Attach the VoC to some other initiative
The best is if the VoC could be part of some other initiative already going on in your company. Maybe there is a project already running to increase profitability, grow your market share, open up new markets or develop a new line of products. The VoC could maybe become an essential component in that initiative.
Set up the VoC project
If you have successfully done the above three activities you are ready to set up your project. And you are not alone. We could assist you in many ways to do that. Everything from a short Skype meeting to help you avoid typical pitfalls to on-site help. No two projects are the same, and the support needs to be tailored to your unique challenges and circumstances.
Run the VoC project
We have created a base package with everything you need from training material, software and printed material to run a complete VoC with 100 decks of cards. You will find a list of what is included below. This is the minimum of what is required, and if you have a dedicated and experienced team maybe you don't need more. If you need your cards in multiple languages, more support or something else it´s easy to add on.
Our business idea is to make your VoC a success. We have 18 years of experience and made more than 30 global projects. We know what works in practice. Our proven 8-Step-VoC process will navigate you around the pitfalls and guarantee that you reach your objectives.
Our pricing is per “Voice of the customer” study and depends on the level of support, the sample size and the type of software you require. The start is always a Base package complemented with what you need for your particular project.
Join the Customer value challenge and learn how to transform customer value into a concrete and practical tool to drive profitability, growth and sustainability.
