“Customer experience is a whole-of-business approach, and cultural engagement is central to the successful adoption of the measurement program that ultimately leads to internal mindset of continuous improvement for doing what’s right for the customer,” Holla Agency’s CEO and author of Customer Experience is the Brand, Alex Allwood, said. “Employees require education and support on why the program is important and what is expected of them in their day-to-day responsibilities.”

“A good VoC program provides an understanding of how the company can address and manage customer painpoints and gaps from the customer point-of-view rather than the business perspective,” Allwood explained.

“Customer journey mapping can provide a clear view of how customers interact with the company’s touch points,” Allwood continued.

“Measuring the experience in stages of the journey rather than individual transactional touch points or overall topline measurement can provide an end-to-end view, enabling continuous feedback for resolutions and actions to problems,” she said.
