From Voices to Results - Voice of Customer Questions, Tools and Analysis

By: Robert Coppenhaver

Overview of this book

Voice of Customer (VoC) is one of the most popular forms of market research that combines both quantitative and qualitative methods. This book is about developing a deeper knowledge of your customers and understanding their articulated and unarticulated needs. Doing so requires engaging with customers in a meaningful and substantive way – something that is becoming more and more important with the rise of the increasingly connected world. This book gives you a framework to understand what products and features your customers need, or will need in the future. It provides the tools to conduct a VoC program and suggests how to take the customer input and turn it into successful products. This book also explains how to position and price your products in the market, and demonstrates ROI to the management team to get your product development funded. By the end of this book, you will have a thorough understanding of the relevant stages of a VoC project. It will show you how to devise an effective plan, direct the project to their objectives, and then how to collect the voice of the customer, with examples and templates for interviewing and surveying them.

We also talked about best practices for the interview session as well as a number of don'ts that can undermine the success of your initiative. Lastly, we discussed the benefits of observational VoC, as well as how to use concept testing during the interview process.

Now that your interviews are complete, only half the work is done. Now you...
