Which fast food burger chain is better: Whataburger or In-N-Out? The debate rages. Texans loudly proclaim their allegiance to Whataburger. Californians quickly tell you that In-N-Out is the best. Other states might feel caught in the middle. So just for fun, I devised an objective test. Let's forget polls run by food magazines that are more about state pride than real quality.

Nobody thinks they’re neglecting customers… but many are. Some of us live, breathe and constantly think about the customer experience. But most people, believe it or not, don’t spend their time that way. Business leaders, in fact, have not been trained, educated or even asked to consider customer experience. Traditional business education and even standard business plans don’t include much focus on the customer’s journey beyond the basics of getting the sale and delivering a product

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.
