A voice of the customer programme is a distribution problem
Almost every voice of the customer programme collects more than it uses. Surveys go out, verbatims pile up, a monthly report circulates, and the teams who could act on any of it never see the part that concerns them.
The mentors on this page have run these programmes inside companies and been the person accountable when nothing changed. They will talk about survey design and sampling, but most of the conversation is usually about closing the loop: who reads what, who owns a fix, and how you prove the programme paid for itself.
Bring the state you are in. A programme you have been asked to start with no budget for a platform. An NPS number everyone quotes and nobody acts on. Verbatims nobody has read. A response rate falling every quarter. A closed loop process that only closes for detractors.
They will also tell you which parts of a vendor pitch to ignore. Your first call is free.
What a voice of the customer programs mentor helps with
- Survey design and timing that does not annoy customers into silence
- Choosing between NPS, CSAT and CES, and when it does not matter
- Closing the loop so a complaint reaches whoever can fix it
- Reading verbatims at volume without a text analytics budget
- Proving the programme changed something, in money
- What to ask a vendor before you sign anything

From sessions with these mentors
I had the privilege of having a 30-minute mentoring session with Jenny, and I must say, it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment our session began, Jenny's enthusiasm and genuine joy for teaching were palpable. She went above and beyond to share her wisdom and knowledge on the topics I had chosen, offering insights that were not only informative but also inspiring. Her ability to make complex ideas accessible and engaging exceeded my expectations. Jenny is truly the best in what she does! Her passion for helping others grow and succeed shines through in every word. I left the session feeling motivated, empowered, and grateful for her time. i LOVED it~ Highly recommend her as a mentor! Thank you Jenny!!! :)

Questions people ask before booking
Is the first call really free?
Yes. One 30 minute call with any mentor, no card and no trial to cancel. Membership after that is one price for unlimited calls.
We have no platform and no budget for one. Can we still run a programme?
Yes, and several of these mentors started that way. A survey tool, a spreadsheet and a standing meeting cover more than most platforms are actually used for.
Should we use NPS?
Ask the mentor. The honest answer usually depends on who reads the number and what they do with it, not on the metric itself.
Can a mentor review our survey?
Yes. Send the questions in the booking notes. Most surveys have two or three questions doing real work and several that are costing you responses.
