Customer testimonials and reviews are becoming increasingly important in a homeowner’s decision-making process when hiring a builder, remodeler, or contractor. Most people won’t even see a movie or visit a restaurant without first reading reviews, so there’s no doubt they’re going to do extensive research when it comes to buying a new home or remodeling their current one.

Of late, we've noticed an intriguing trend, as smartphone makers use social media to directly ask their customers what they want in a phone. Two recent examples are executives from OnePlus and Xiaomi, both companies that are famous for engaging with their users and bringing in their points of view into the products that are being built. Even as they have become big brands, both Xiaomi and OnePlus have not lost the connect with fans that made them influential beyond their size when they were starting out. But at the same time, one has to question the value of a product lead asking users about the specifications that users want, regardless of the weightage the company gives to those inputs.

In today’s fast-paced world, where our thoughts, opinions, and ideas can be shared with the click of a mouse or with a few taps on a keyboard, there seems to be a constant yearning to have our voices heard, to offer advice, and to give our opinions in as short amount of time as possible.

In an article for Bloomberg Technology, Fred Reichheld (whose work at Bain and Company has resulted in widespread use of Net Promoter Score® surveying methodology) notes he is also survey fatigued. As such, it is important to remember that the art of customer listening emulates a lesson from the children’s story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

As customers and consumers, you and I now have many ways to tell suppliers what we want, when, how and to give them feedback on their performance as suppliers. Clues from our website navigation patterns, social “likes”, trolley abandons, and even instant chats, together with in-person conversations make up the rich spectrum of omnichannel experiences. But not all suppliers seem able to use this information effectively. My colleagues and I advise marketing leaders on analytics that can sort through all this useful information, but the frequent surprise is how some teams lose themselves in the detail. Often, teams seem to find it challenging to stay true to be the basic job at hand - using information from customers in the best way to drive growth, customer satisfaction and profits.
