A proactive customer support approach is the key to regaining control. The typical support “strategy” is to let common issues roll in for your support team to address. But this approach not only overwhelms your team, it also means customers frequently have to wait hours or even days to get the help they need.

The traditional customer journey infographic envisioned the customer’s experience from a sales and marketing standpoint, visualizing a funnel marking the steps from a lead acquisition through a sale, also known as the buyer’s journey. The traditional approach fails to see things from the perspective of the customer, instead, it takes a company-centric approach, splitting these into multiple journies each handled by a different department; marketing, sales, onboarding, retention.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in.
