Sentiment Analysis

Gain clear insight into customer attitudes with sentiment analysis

CallMiner’s Eureka conversation analytics platform captures customer interactions and analyzes sentiment across all channels.

Driving business performance starts with understanding your customers

The decisions of customers are driven by sentiment. From attitudes about a brand to opinions of products or services, sentiment plays an outsized role in customer churn, loyalty, and satisfaction. Savvy companies capture sentiment analysis to identify their customers’ positive, neutral, or negative leanings and use that data to better understand customers’ opinions, address their needs, and deliver exceptional experiences.

Analyzing sentiment is an incredibly complex endeavor and choosing the right tools is critical. Survey-based solutions will deliver insight into only a small fraction of your audience. Technology that mines contact center conversations offers a more comprehensive approach – but it requires best-of-breed, automated tools to ensure accuracy, ease-of-use, and cost efficiency.

CallMiner offers a leading sentiment analysis solution in its Eureka conversation analytics platform. By measuring the acoustics in a speaker’s voice and evaluating the overall content and context of a conversation, Eureka enables you determine the true meaning behind spoken words and gain deeper insight into your customers’ sentiment.
