At Intercom, we value principles over processes. As we’ve scaled, we’ve distilled and fine-tuned the foundations that shape what we build and how we build it. Principles tell us where we should focus, how we make decisions and move forward as a team, and help us consistently build great products at scale. And that’s exactly why, earlier this year, we started a series dedicated to exploring the reasoning behind each one.

One of the reasons that this experiment works so quickly and the results are so dramatic is that good listeners are in incredibly short supply.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Positivity with impact. When it’s clouded, people long for a blue sky and a bright sun. That goes for your customers, too. Yes, companies are facing hard times, but it is not up to your customers to care and forgive you for any suboptimal CX experience.
