Direct Feedback — Choose the Channel
That Works for Your Customers!

Don’t destroy the experiences by giving feedbacks so outdated, or so cumbersome that people hate to give feedbacks. Make sure surveys are personalized, brief, contextually multichannel, engaging, interactive, and actioned.
Indirect Feedback

Indirect Feedback — Coping With an Explosion of Availability Across Phone, Email, SMS, Chat, Social

A tweet, chat or email, sentiments through call recording, or agent notes. This may include social mentions from other sites. Selection of appropriate speech and text analytics technologies is critical. Ownership does not need to be tied to data location.

  • Detection rate
  • Scalability
  • Cost
  • Sentiment
  • Classification
  • Multiple threads
  • Real time
  • Actions

Inferred Feedback — Ascertaining What Your Customers Would Say If You Asked Them

Most implicit feedbacks observed from web behavior, contact center, store, etc. This also includes purchase history and even mouse movements.

  • All Interaction Channels Relevant
  • Usually Already Collecting for Operational Reasons
  • Normally Data Siloed
  • Focus on Linkages
