2. About Customer Relationship Metrics
We make corporate missions and customer passions happen.
20 years ago at The Purdue University Center for Customer‐driven Quality, Dr. Jodie
Monger (President and CEO) began working with contact centers to uncover and leverage
customer experience insights to improve customer relationships.
Most often, contact centers contain the most abundant and richest source of customer
experience business intelligence. Our primary mission is to collect, evaluate, and
disseminate customer intelligence to assist the senior leaders in making decisions relating
to the customer experience using leading technology and to accomplish this with no or little
IT requirements.
We are an independent source of customer experience intelligence information for those
needing to affect change.
We engage in activities that support research law.

3. 25 Common CX Voice of the Customer Mistakes
Customer Experience (CX) Voice of the Customer is
Different than Market Research Voice of the
Customer
When you have a sinus condition, you wouldn’t go to a
chiropractor. While a chiropractor is talented when it comes to
matters of the spine, he doesn’t have the skills needed to solve
your sinus problem. An ear, nose and throat physician is perfect
for your situation. When it comes to the Voice of the Customer
(VoC), a term that describes the process of capturing customer
expectations and preferences, a Market Research approach and
a Customer Experience approach are different specialties just as
a chiropractor and an ENT.
This self‐assessment focuses on identifying mistakes with CX Voice of
the Customer measurement.

4. 25 Common CX Voice of the Customer Mistakes
CX VOC is Different than Marketing VOC
A market research approach as it pertains to the VoC is to provide
important key information identifying and analyzing the marketing
need, size and competition. For example market researchers may
try to identify what color to make this season’s washer and dryer
by doing interviews at a local shopping mall. The most appealing
color for customers means higher sales, bigger market share and a
winning brand. The research in this case has little to do with how
the customer experiences the relationship with the organization –
the purchase, the service and support, the warranty, etc.
A customer experience VoC approach goes beyond the
marketplace, goes beyond the strategic, and gleans tactical
insights about how the customer is using the product and
interacting with the company in person, on the phone or through
electronic channels. Does the customer find value in the product?
What drives the value proposition? Would they buy it again?
Would they refer the brand to their friends or colleagues? Is the
customer a brand advocate on the social networks? A customer
experience VoC approach seeks to holistically validate the
customer findings. Oh, and the WHY behind these critical metrics.

5. 25 Common CX Voice of the Customer Mistakes
CX VOC is Different than Marketing VOC
While the chiropractor and ENT are doctors, the
methods employed and what they treat within the
body are drastically different. Similarly, VoC market
research and a customer experience approach are
related in the discipline of research, but the results are
as drastically different.
Are you afraid of going in the wrong direction? Do you
need better VoC techniques to get better outcomes? If
this ebook doesn’t get you all you need, get a free

6. Customer Experience Big Data Dysfunction Diagnostic
INTRODUCTION
The questions in the self‐assessment are designed to be a guide
to identify the mistakes that create barriers to success in your CX
Voice of the Customer insight generation.
Identifying mistakes is not providing a solution to your problem,
but the awareness can lead to create a tactical plan to overcome
the failures.
But, we have found that answering “YES” to these questions
(answering “YES” IS A BAD THING) has often provided an
effective a tool for diagnosis, as have lengthy explanations of the
difference between market research and customer experience
research.
We appreciate that the diagnosis of CX Voice of the Customer
mistakes is a matter that must be very serious and very strategic.
Our hope is that the awareness generated from this assessment
will help your organization develop better CX Voice of the
Customer practices.
