VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER
Considerations:
• Are we starting in the right place?
• Are we asking the right questions?
New approach:
• Start with expectations
![Page 5: Understanding Customer Expectations Through …...JUST LISTENING •Being heard is a deep human need •To listen is to bear witness to someone’s experience * •Listening is a gift](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed917656714ca7f4769220f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WHY ASK THAT QUESTION?
Instead: What are your expectations?
Typical: How am I doing?
Why: To hear what’s top of mind
To hear all expectations
To keep the focus on them
instead of us

Customer comments:
It seems like there are too many rules to follow.
I try to do what I think is a simple transaction,
and I’m told I have to fill out more forms or
provide extra approvals and justification.
I spend a lot of time on paperwork that I don’t
see the need for, and it takes me away from my
regular work.
