Global Voice of the Customer (VoC) Analytics Growth Opportunities

Global Voice of the Customer (VoC) Analytics Growth Opportunities

Well-established businesses receive massive amounts of feedback every day, obtained through eCommerce platforms, customer support calls, emails, social media platforms, bots, and chats. This presents companies with an opportunity to collect remarkable volumes of customer data that they can use to enhance market intelligence.

VoC refers to the practice of collecting, analyzing, and distributing customer feedback to improve a product, solution, or service. With accurate VoC data, businesses can enhance customer experience (CX), meet unmet needs in the marketplace, and differentiate themselves from competitors. Companies can unlock VoC through technologies such as sentiment analysis, which uses natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), text analysis, and computational linguistics to identify the opinion, intent, or emotion behind the customers’ words.

Sentiment analysis is redefining the VoC landscape, and it complements surveys and other traditional solicited feedback methods. The implementation of sentiment analysis brings several benefits to organizations, including the potential to increase RoI, revenue, and cost savings; the ability to boost customer retention; and the capability to offer an enhanced CX. In addition, VoC platforms can generate automated, complex, and actionable insights that will change how businesses operate. Advancements in AI and IoT paired with higher sentiment analysis adoption guarantees a bright future for VoC tools.
