How to transform the product innovation process

Provide product teams with superior feedback by capturing and analyzing 100% of customer interactions across all channels.

Enhance the product innovation process with superior customer feedback

Customer feedback is essential to the product innovation process. Because new products and features are designed to meet the needs of customers, product teams must first understand customer desires, pain points, and opinions about existing or competing products. It’s only by making customers the center of the product development process that businesses can hope to drive successful product innovation and gain greater market share.

While most product teams crave customer feedback, many struggle with ways to collect and analyze feedback effectively. Focus groups, user testing, and customer surveys – the most common methods for collecting feedback – are limited in scope, collecting data on a very small sample of potential customers. As a result, analysis based on this data is often incomplete or skewed by highly vocal customers with strong positive or negative opinions.

The CallMiner Eureka platform offers a better alternative. By capturing and analyzing 100% of customer interactions across all channels, our platform fuels the product innovation process with a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of what customers want and need.

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

The role of conversation intelligence in product innovation

Powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, conversation intelligence technology captures and analyzes the unstructured information in calls, chat, email, social media, websites, surveys, SMS texts, and other channels. By transcribing, categorizing, and scoring each interaction, a conversation intelligence platform can convert this information into structured data that can be easily searched and analyzed to produce actionable intelligence. Conversation intelligence can also identify the sentiment and emotion driving a customer’s words and choices, helping product teams to better understand how to satisfy a customer’s expectations.

By automatically extracting product intelligence from 100% of customer interactions, conversation intelligence helps empowers product teams to innovate more easily and effectively. Data produced by conversation intelligence can serve as an “always on” focus group and product feedback loop that allows teams to test new ideas, improve on existing products, introduce new offerings, and even identify potential issues early to mitigate unnecessary risks and costs.
