Voice of the customer 2.0 - what is next?

Listening to what your clients have to say about your services or your company is an extremely useful resource to grow your business. But how can you bring your client feedback to the next level and possibly transform it into a firm-wide activity? What are the latest trends to measure customer satisfaction?  

While many companies have a client feedback program in place, it very often isn’t supported by the newest technologies. Our experts Anja Birkelbach, Head of Customer Feedback, and Anna Bliznina, Manager Customer Transformation, introduce you to the benefits of implementing data analytics to generate actionable insights from qualitative data and show you how a smart mix of both surveys and conversations can yield valuable feedback results. During the webinar, you learn more about the ways in which feedback can effectively be integrated and turned into real actions.   
Watch Anja Birkelbach's and Anna Bliznina's new webinar Voice of the customer 2.0 and get invaluable take-aways that will help you create significant value for your business.

How customer centricity can boost your industrial goods business

95% of CEOs believe that they need more customer centricity to be competitive in their markets, but only 5% of employees apply a customer-centric strategy on a daily basis. From higher sales and lower service costs to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, customer centricity brings many financial and emotional benefits to companies. Aligning products, services and logistics with the customer is one part of differentiation – but culture, mindset, and leadership are at least as important.   

In our webinar, Oliver Ripplinger and Dr. Michael Betz, PwC Switzerland, explain why the decision to be customer-centric affects the whole company and has an impact on all operations. They demonstrate the importance of understanding the customer journey with its customer touch points and recognising when companies need to exceed customer.   

Our guest speaker Daniel Moelders presents the leadership principles that a customer-centric company should apply. As Director Strategic Employee Relations at Zalando and former Head of Employee Relations at Amazon North & Central Europe, he provides first-hand examples of how to set employees on the path to embed emotional, rational, and environmental aspects of customer centricity into a company's DNA.
