It's amazing to see the amount of information spewing out from bloggers like David Hobbie , Doug Cornelius , and Monica Bay. I think folks providing near real-time posts are great for the industry.

Strategic CX: A Deep Dive into Voice of the Customer Insights for Clarity

Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

If they need to charge with a certain frequency, execute a transaction at a specific time, combine many smaller payments into one single transaction or want to charge a commission on a transaction between two of their customers, they need to
