Tip: Before you try and solve a customer problem, be the customer who faced that problem – day in day out! A special note for the tech folks, who want to automate first – Please don’t get caught in building the best technology first. Start with manual solutions to gain insights, get real customer feedback, and explore reputable customer feedback companies for a comprehensive understanding of your product or service performance.
