Harnessing the Power of Customer Feedback with Dynamics 365


In today's experience economy, meeting customer expectations is everything. But how do you truly grasp your customers' needs?

The answer lies in soliciting their feedback frequently and across channels.

With seamless survey integration, real-time analytics, and more, Dynamics 365 offers powerful Voice of the Customer (VoC) tools to capture sentiment and drive action.

Read on to understand how Dynamics 365 enables organizations to tap into the power of customer feedback.

The Struggle is Real

As an independent consultant focused on d365 implementation, I've worked with many organizations struggling to collect and operationalize customer insights. Common pitfalls include:

       Survey overload - Generic, long annual surveys yield low response rates and superficial insights. Customers don't want to take extra steps to give feedback.

       Siloed data - Customer feedback lives in separate systems across business units. This makes it hard to connect insights and identify priorities.

       Lack of action - Organizations collect feedback but fail to act on it. This frustrates customers who feel unheard.

Seamless, Embedded Feedback

Making it Effortless

The best customer feedback is collected in the natural flow of the experience, not after the fact. Dynamics 365 enables this by baking feedback touchpoints into customer interactions.

For example, the Omnichannel for Customer Service module lets agents automatically send post-call surveys to gather satisfaction ratings. Sales reps can quickly send polls after demos to gauge interest.

By embedding feedback requests into existing interactions, you increase response rates and collect data when it's most insightful - in the moment.

Targeted Surveys

While embedded feedback works great for transactional interactions, you still need targeted surveys to dig deeper into customer needs and experiences.

Dynamics 365 makes it easy to send tailored surveys to specific customer segments. Contextual data like purchase history and demographics allow for more meaningful questions and relevant insights.

You can also customize survey frequency and targeting based on what you want to learn.

New customers may receive different surveys than long-time loyalists. Simply put, targeted surveys allow you to ask the right people the right questions.

Centralized Voice of the Customer

But it's not just about collecting feedback - it's about connecting the dots. Dynamics 365 delivers a holistic voice of the customer through integrated analytics.

Unified Dashboard

Survey responses, satisfaction metrics, and other feedback data feed into Dynamics 365's Power BI dashboards.

This unified view makes it easy to blend feedback insights with operational data to identify high-impact opportunities.

Close the Loop

By centralizing multiple feedback channels, Dynamics 365 enables organizations to pinpoint areas of strong or weak customer sentiment.

From there, you can develop targeted strategies to strengthen the experiences that will have the greatest business impact.

The proof is in the pudding. Let's walk through an example...

A Virtuous Cycle

Last month, we launched a new mobile app interface. Our real-time Power BI dashboard showed a dip in satisfaction ratings related to ease of use.

By blending this feedback with usage metrics, we discovered newer users in particular were struggling.

We quickly implemented expanded tutorials and help content targeted to these new users.

Within weeks, satisfaction metrics rebounded as customers appreciated our responsiveness.

This virtuous cycle of listening, understanding, and improving drives better customer experiences and loyalty.



Key Takeaways

Here are the core lessons on leveraging Dynamics 365 for stronger Voice of the Customer capabilities:

       Embed feedback collection into natural touchpoints to boost response rates.

       Connect insights across teams for a unified view of sentiment.

       Close the loop by quickly addressing feedback to enhance experiences.

Customer feedback is a gift - with Dynamics 365, you have the tools to truly listen and strengthen your business.

Now get out there, tap into your customers' voices, and exceed expectations!
