- #9 1. Listen. Firms need to identify key customer "listening posts" across channels and departments and then collect feedback through methods like surveys, social media, emails, and calls. (see endnote 2)2. Analyze. Use customer feeback to identify patterns and themes. Share feedback with all people in the company.3. Respond. Act on customer insights to get value from them. Actions might include responding to individual customers, coaching employees, or changing experiences systemically.Repeat... VoC teams need to repeat the process to track the results of their efforts over timeSupporting ThemesCulture. Firms must ingrain VoC programs in the culture of the organization in order to have major impacts.Discipline. VoC programs need strong internalteams and clear processes in order to drive acceptance and change.

- #13 No Relationship - 0%-20% response. The most demanding group to survey is a group that has no relationship with your organization. The 0% response is from a general market research survey that we did to a rented list, asking recipients about "Your last visit to the dentist"! (We repeated the mailing, with an incentive, to get the needed results.)Lost Customer - 10%-30% response. Since a lost customer has already made his or her decision and moved on, these recipients are less likely than other groups to respond to your survey.Prospective Customer - 15%-35% response. While prospective customers are interested in you, they have about an average chance of responding to your request for a survey.Current Customer - 20%-65% response. Current customers have a vested interest in providing feedback to an organization that they do business with. For customer-satisfaction studies, consumers have a lower response rate than businesses, and businesses in general have a lower response rate than major accounts.Employee - 60%-90% response. Your organization has no stronger relationships than with its employees. As a result, employee-satisfaction surveys typically have a high response rate. Tactical employee surveys will provide lower response rates. OTHER THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND TO INCREASE RESPONSE RATES OF SURVEYS: Immediately following the interaction, personal versus IVR rates, shorter surveys versus long, how professional does the survey come across
