Post-sale customer feedback helps companies improve service quality, product value, and NPS scores. But why wait until after the purchase is complete to request feedback? The value of feedback can play a huge role during the lead generation and nurture phases, in order to help marketers fully understand the audiences they’re trying to reach. The goal should be to provide an engaging customer experience throughout the customer's entire engagement — from initial contact and beyond.

 

Why customer feedback needs to start before they buy

 

Today’s buyers expect personalized, 1:1 experiences tailored to their wants and needs. They’re inundated by marketing messages through digital ads, social media streams, and email. So, only the most relevant campaigns will successfully capture their attention. The rest are ignored, at best. And at worst, blocked.

 

To rise to this high-level of customer expectation, Salesforce Pardot centralizes marketing initiatives into cohesive customer journeys to map response patterns into sales leads. Yet marketing automation technology is only as powerful as the data available to it. Even with the right platform, businesses still have a fuzzy picture of what their audiences want. Traditionally, marketers have relied on behavioral indicators — like opens, click-throughs, and time spent on digital assets — in order to build nurture paths. But by collecting feedback earlier in the engagement cycle, marketers can now enrich the data in Pardot with deeper customer insight.
