In today's fast-paced digital landscape, salespeople face new challenges that test their skills. To succeed in this demanding environment, it is essential to have the right information when engaging with customers. The sales journey is like an engaging strategy game, where it's all about delivering the right information at the right time to create impactful customer experiences. Unfortunately, many salespeople overlook a critical way to expand their knowledge: collecting customer feedback. This is a proven method for improving the shopping experience and deepening customer relationships. In fact, according to a Walker study, by the end of 2020, customer experience will have overtaken price and product as the most important brand differentiator.
Customer feedback is a valuable source for optimizing your customer experience throughout the sales process. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Voice works seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales to collect feedback and target customers at key points in their buying journey. In this way, valuable information is captured at critical steps in the sales process to provide relevant and contextual customer feedback. Companies can use these insights to further improve the customer experience.
