Voice of Customer
Voice of customer is the captured language, feedback, needs, objections, and expectations of buyers and customers.
Primary keyword
voice of customer
Plain-English definition
It is the market speaking in its own words, not the team's assumptions about what the market cares about.
Why it matters
VoC helps sales, marketing, product, and customer success align around real customer pain and proof.
Example
A marketing team reviews call excerpts and support notes to rewrite a product page around the phrases customers actually use.
Common mistakes
Treating a few loud anecdotes as the whole market, stripping quotes from context, or failing to connect feedback to segment and lifecycle stage.
