Superior feedback is key to new product innovation

Access feedback from customer interactions on every channel with CallMiner Eureka.

Achieving innovation with a deeper understanding of customers

Your customers are undoubtedly the most important source of product feedback when generating ideas for new products and new features. By analyzing customer comments, criticisms, complaints, and competitor mentions, your teams can develop a clear picture of customer wants and needs as well as their opinions of competitors’ products.

While feedback is essential for new product innovation, many product teams struggle to access data from a comprehensive audience sample. Customer feedback solutions have traditionally been dominated by customer surveys collected through websites, email, and other text-based channels. These methods are limited, however, as survey response rates tend to be quite low and respondents are typically extremely satisfied or dissatisfied with a product. Calls to contact centers could provide more comprehensive data, but listening to and reviewing these audio interactions is prohibitively time-consuming.

CallMiner offers an answer – a conversation intelligence platform that can automatically capture, analyze, and glean insight from 100% of customer interactions across all channels to drive new product innovation.

The Forrester Wave™: Conversation Intelligence for Customer Service, Q3, 2023

The role of conversation intelligence in new product innovation

Conversation intelligence uses AI and machine learning to understand the meaning and intent of a customer’s words and the sentiment and emotion behind them. A superior platform can capture customer interactions on every channel: phone, web, social, email, surveys, SMS, and more. By transcribing, analyzing, and scoring 100% of customer conversations, conversation intelligence solutions provide remarkable insight into what customers want and need, revealing what they think and how they feel about your products and your competitors.

With deeper insight into comprehensive customer data, your product teams can successfully drive new product innovation. Customers share a wealth of opinions on ratings and review sites about your products’ strengths and shortcomings. Calls to your contact center reveal the depth of frustration with a product, helping to focus priorities for remediation and product innovation.

Providing product intelligence and near-real-time insight into your customer’s mindset, conversation intelligence can serve as an on-demand focus group providing a continuous stream of invaluable data for the product development process.
