customers are not equal - For B2B business customers segmentation can be
done on the basis of personas and objectives

8Conclusion
- According to a survey done by Gartner, 95 of
organizations surveyed collect feedback from
their customers, fewer than even half of these
organizations bother to alert their staffs, and
many few of them informed their customers
proactively as to how their feedbacks were used
to create a better customer experience - In fact, only 5 of the respondents in the survey
closed the loop by letting their participants
know how they used the VoC feedbacks - Before starting your VoC program, it is necessary
to have enough resources to review and act upon
the feedbacks - Remember asking for feedbacks and ignoring them
will only waste your time and resources
