Prepared by Market Directions - B O S T O N -
Voice of the Customer The "voice of the customer" is the term used to describe stated and unstated needs or requirements of the customer. •
Customers do know what they want. • • •
•
Don’t ask customers to do your job by asking • •
•
They know but not the exact features or solutions that will satisfy. Not designed by customers, but inspired by customers. Understand underlying needs. What products do you want? What features do you need?
VOC = “A description, in the customer’s own words, of the benefit to be fulfilled by the product or service.” “A cup of coffee that stays hot until I finish drinking it” •
“I never have to worry about losing my work”

On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our company to a colleague or friend?

Promoters
The research that originally developed the Net Promoter Score was from Frederick Reichheld, Bain and Satmetrix.

2015 NPS Scores The 2015 NPS report from Satmetrix ranks more than 220 brands across 22 U.S. industry sectors, including financial services, insurance, technology, online entertainment, retail stores, electronics, travel and hospitality, and telecommunications. Satmetrix claims the findings reveal that the Net Promoter leaders in their respective industries have positioned themselves to outpace the competition in the areas of increased customer retention and acquisition -- and ultimately in terms of bottom line growth. 30,000 U.S. consumers were surveyed who rated their experience with the primary brands they use. Consumers also rated each brand on various aspects of customer experience, including product or service features, customer service and overall value.

Kano questionnaires include two questions for each feature: 1.
the functional question
"How do you feel if this feature is present?" and 2.
the dysfunctional question
"How do you feel if this feature is NOT present?" • The customer has to choose one of the five possible options: • • • • •
