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.

The first step in our consolidation process is for everyone to consolidate all their own information from the interviews they have each attended. This is done individually and before the groups meet to discuss their findings. Everyone who has participated in the group interviews must do this without any discussion among the team members. If you had three teams with three members on each team, you would have nine sets of notes that were developed individually, separate from each other, that capture the messages each team member heard from the customers from their own individual perspective.
