at the expense of overall brand

You risk:

STATUS QUO IS NOT ENOUGH


@LarryFreed

Tracking behavior is backward looking

Status Quo:

Next Generation:

Behavioral data

Voice of Customer


@LarryFreed

Listening to feedback alone can be misleading
► 
► 

► 

Social
Social media chatter and feedback
feedback companies receive
directly via e-mails or phone
calls is focused on the ends of
the spectrum

chasing ‘squeaky wheels’ &
ignoring the ‘silent majority’

Feedback direct to the
company and via Social is
dominated by extreme
opinions

► 

This results in chasing the
squeaky wheel and
ignoring the silent majority

Status Quo:

Next Generation:

Behavioral data
Opt-in Feedback

VOC Measurement


@LarryFreed

Siloed metrics provide limited insight

Takeaways
1. 

You cannot manage what you
do not measure

2. 

If you’re not measuring the
customer experience you’re
operating in the dark

3. 

Measure from the customers’
perspective – not just the
organization’s

4. 

Consumers are multi-channel,
your measurements and
analytics need to be

5. 

Keep innovating and moving
forward in order to stay ahead

Unless conventional merchants adopt an entirely new
perspective – one that allows them to integrate disparate
channels into a single, seamless omnichannel experience –
they are likely to be swept away.
Successful companies will engage customers through
omnichannel retailing: a mashup of digital and physical
experiences.

integrate our retail processes, as well as provide accurate, store level
data to facilitate better decision-making. The solution also had to offer
sustainability and scalability to accommodate our growth.”
