Managing Customer Experience Reviews

In a sea of possible insights, how do you know which are worth reporting? As a data analyst, there are two types of insights you will report: 1) Ones that are directly aligned to a business question or priority 2) Ones that nobody is asking for… but should be 90% of the time, you should be focusing on the first one. But when done right, the second can be very powerful. So… how do you find those hidden insights? How do you know which ones truly matter? ➤ Explore high-level trends Scan dashboards, reports, or raw data for unexpected patterns. Look for sudden spikes, dips, or emerging trends that don’t have an obvious explanation. ➤ Slice the data by different dimensions Break data down by different categories (customer segments, time periods, product lines, etc.). Where are things changing the most? Which groups are behaving unlike the others? ➤  Identify outliers Look at the extremes. What’s happening with your best customers? Worst-performing regions? Most productive employees? Outliers often reveal inefficiencies or hidden opportunities. ➤ Tie insights to business impact Before reporting, ask: Would knowing this change a decision? If it doesn’t, it’s probably not worth surfacing. ➤ Pressure-test with stakeholders Run your findings by a manager or friendly stakeholder. Ask them if the finding resonates with other trends they've seen, whether they see potential value, and whether it could influence strategy. In other words: - Start broad - Dig deep - Sense-check —-— 👋🏼 I’m Morgan. I share my favorite data viz and data storytelling tips to help other analysts (and academics) better communicate their work.

One that evolves through clear stages, just like guiding an “elephant” to sit, stand, walk, run, and eventually fly. 𝗦𝗶𝘁 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀  𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Your organization is essentially data-blind, navigating by gut feelings and legacy practices.

Is your business drowning in data?! But here's the reality: data is only powerful when it's actionable. Even the best tools can't move the needle on your customer experience (CX) or business outcomes without a clear plan. Let's dive deep into how leaders can cut through the noise and extract meaningful insights from overwhelming amounts of customer data. Spoiler alert: it starts with having a clear objective. 🌟 Here's what we unpack in this Experience Action episode: ✅Clarity is Key: Before diving into tools or technology, ask: What's my objective? Knowing what you're after will help you focus on the right data. (Improve retention! Increase Referral Rates! More Repeat Purchases…get clear about outcomes.) 🔬 ✅Centralizing Your Data: Many organizations face the challenge of siloed data across departments. Implementing a Customer Data Platform (CDP) can be a game-changer by integrating information and providing a unified view of the customer journey. 🎯 ✅Leveraging AI for Deeper Insights: Once you have a clear objective and centralized data, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can identify patterns and uncover hidden insights. Tools like IBM Watson and Salesforce Einstein can help you go beyond basic analysis and start making data-driven decisions at scale. 🤖✨ ✅Turning Insights into Action: Analysis without action is a wasted effort. Make sure you have a plan to act on your findings. Whether through sentiment analysis, predictive analytics, or feedback loops, the ultimate goal is to improve customer outcomes and drive business success. As CX leaders, the work we do matters. 🌍 We are shaping experiences not only to build loyalty but also to change lives. Feeling overwhelmed by big data or AI? We're here to support you.

>>> What if your next deal came from someone reading your LinkedIn profile, without ever clicking away? Yesterday, we wrapped up Referable Profile Sprint, and one insight kept coming up: We obsess over headlines and banners, but neglect our most powerful asset: client references. Don’t assume prospects will leave LinkedIn to hunt down testimonials on your website. Show the proof where they’re already looking. 🟦 How to write killer references 🟦 Sometimes your clients are so busy they’ll ask you to draft the testimonial. I recommend two approaches: →𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲 Send 5–7 targeted questions by email: “What was your biggest challenge?”, “What results did you see?”, “What doubts did you have before we started?” Ask them to answer in a few bullet points—then polish into a tight quote. →𝟭𝟱-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 Jump on Zoom/Teams with your client. Guide them through the same questions live, capture their words verbatim, and instantly craft the testimonial together. 🟦 What your references must address 🟦 Prospects want two things: → HOPE - tangible results “After upgrading my LinkedIn presence before attending a major industry event in Q4, I closed two deals in Q1 worth €20 K. Connecting with potential clients on LinkedIn was enough. Jasna took me from 0 to 1 with my personal and company profile and coached me on prospecting from my network. I wish I’d turned my profile into a sales page sooner.” → FEAR - overcoming doubts “My priority is finding new clients, and it always felt like trial and error. Before attending my first big trade show, I never imagined I could prospect so effectively on LinkedIn. Jasna took me from uncertainty to a clear process for reaching out, and the results speak for themselves.” 🟦 Where to publish your references  🟦 → 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 under each relevant 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 entry → 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 section: pin 3–5 top quotes, PDFs, or short videos → 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 reviews (with star ratings) if you offer services → 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 testimonial slider or case-study pages → 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘀 and pitch decks: insert one-sentence highlights on each cover slide → 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: “See what clients say ⟶ [link to Featured testimonial]” 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: When you collect, craft, and showcase references directly on LinkedIn, you turn your profile into a self-running lead generator. No more “tell me about your work” - your clients’ voices do the selling for you. What’s your biggest hurdle in gathering testimonials? Let me know in the comments—or DM me, and I’ll share my free reference-request template.

Managers believe more can be achieved, while employees feel overwhelmed and undervalued. This isn't just a Microsoft issue—it's a symptom of a larger trend in our industry where the rapid pace of technology is outstripping the frameworks we use to manage it. Think about it. Employees are drowning in work, feeling like their efforts aren't recognized. On the flip side, managers, perhaps disconnected from the day-to-day challenges, are pushing for increased output. This disconnect creates friction and inefficiency. It's like we're speaking different languages in the same conversation. So, how do we bridge this gap? I believe it's time we rethink how we measure productivity. The traditional metrics—focused on output and deadlines—just don't capture the essence of modern software development. It's inherently creative, non-linear. We need to shift our perspective toward metrics that reflect both the quality and the quantity of our work. That's where data-driven insights come into play. By harnessing data from every stage of the software development cycle—code commits, pull requests, testing phases—we can gain real, actionable insights into our processes. We can identify where things are slowing down, where resources are stretched too thin, and where efficiencies can be found. It's about turning raw data into knowledge that can guide us forward. Some tech companies are already embracing this approach. They've implemented systems that track the lifecycle of a task, not just its completion. And guess what? They're uncovering bottlenecks, understanding why projects get delayed. This information helps them reshape workflows to better align with how their teams actually work. Imagine a platform that integrates with your existing tools, pulling all that disparate data into a coherent dashboard that offers actionable insights. In the end, the productivity paradox challenges us not just to work harder, but to work smarter. By leveraging a comprehensive, data-driven approach, we can transform how we measure, understand, and improve productivity. DevDynamics represents this next step—enabling a deeper understanding and a better alignment of team goals and company objectives. It's not just about addressing symptoms; it's about solving the core issues at the heart of the paradox.

Being data-driven isn't defined by past achievements, but by how an organization responds every day when the data speaks. Companies love showcasing their trophies—slick dashboards, AI models, and analytics projects—as proof of a "data-driven mindset." Yet these are often symbols rather than signs of true transformation. It may seem like an achievement to launch ambitious data initiatives, but the true challenge is to routinely challenge long-held assumptions with evidence. A data-driven organization is defined not by isolated successes, but by everyday decisions throughout its ranks. Do managers abandon projects when numbers suggest failure? Can employees successfully question superiors with evidence? These moments reveal true data-driven identity. Companies with genuine data-driven cultures embrace necessary transparency and discomfort. They subject decision-making to rigorous scrutiny. Amazon's "disagree and commit" approach encourages evidence-based debate of all ideas. Netflix shares critical metrics with employees, enabling informed decisions without waiting for top-down direction. Transparency demonstrates confidence. True data-driven culture also means shifting from reliance on a few data specialists to empowering every employee. When the sales manager tests strategies methodically, the designer eagerly reviews A/B tests, and HR analyzes retention weekly, insights emerge organically. The question becomes not "who has the data?" but "who doesn't?" Many leaders mistake occasional analytics wins for transformation. They point to expensive platforms or new chief data officers as evidence of change. But technology merely amplifies existing culture—good or bad. An insecure executive team remains resistant to transparency despite sophisticated dashboards. A confident team can drive substantial insights from simple spreadsheets. The best data platform is a receptive mind. To become truly data-driven, prioritize openness, humility, and curiosity. Focus on everyday rigor over flashy initiatives, and analytical thinking at every desk over analytics showcases. Success isn't an impressive project portfolio but an organization that instinctively seeks, respects, and acts on evidence at every turn. Being data-driven isn't what you do occasionally—it's who you are every day.

Lots of buzz going around about law firms losing reviews on Google Business Profile. Whether it's a filter glitch, AI-gone wrong, or an algorithm update, it reinforces how important reviews are to many firms. For lots of firms, generating consistent, high-quality reviews can feel like an uphill battle. Here's some ways you can combat that. A way to rethink the review request process is to go beyond the ‘case closed’ moments. Many firms are stuck in the habit of asking for reviews only once a case is resolved. While that’s a good starting point, it’s far from enough if you want to build a steady steam of client feedback, or compete from a local SEO perspective. Start asking for them during multiple stages of the clients’ lifecycle. It helps ensure you’re capturing service feedback, and generating consistent reviews during the most meaningful points in the client journey. A few examples... - After the intake process - Following the initial consultation - When signing the retainer agreement - In the middle of the process - When thanks or gratitude is expressed Some firms have clients who are hesitant to share reviews (privacy concerns). Here’s how you can approach this challenge. 1. Let clients know they can leave reviews without sharing personal details. They don’t need to go into the specifics of their case. Rather, have them focus their feedback on your level of professionalism and responsiveness.     2. Ask them to leave reviews based on the specific experiences. Was the intake process smooth and frictionless? Did you give them case updates? Timely feedback? Set solid expectations and next steps? Were invoices accurate?     3. There’s also the art of asking prospective clients who you don’t retain for reviews if you’ve gone above and beyond to point them in the right direction. Not everyone who contacts your firm is an ideal client. And if you took the time to make sure these individuals don’t wander aimlessly after speaking with you, you’ve earned the right to ask them to share that feedback with the public. To ensure consistency, systemize the review request process for the firm. • Use automated reminders. Leverage email and SMS tools to send requests based on key milestones.    • Provide staff with pre-approved scripts or templates for requesting reviews and different client stages. Bonus points if you also put processes in place to respond to both positive and negative reviews.    • Incentivize your team. Make it fun. Reward team members who actively secure reviews as part of their client interactions.    • Make it easy. Simplify the process. The fewer steps clients need to take, the more likely they’ll complete a review. ✅

How we walk the talk on data-driven decisions As we are pushing our business to become more data-driven, our Digital Excellence Leadership Team decided to lead by example. We are now focusing more on data-driven reporting and execution when working with business teams.     This approach helps us in two ways. First, it creates immediate value for our business. Second, it builds a culture of data-driven decision-making across the company.     Here are some insights we discovered:    🎫 Service tickets: We analyzed thousands of support tickets and found that one-sixth came from just three repeatable issues. When you notice this, it’s easy to take proactive steps with the teams.     💼 Application portfolio: We discovered that 23% of our applications lack a business owner. This raised important questions about which applications we should keep and maintain.     💰 Order-to-cash process: Data showed us something unexpected. What looked like process bottlenecks were actually four different sub-processes.    The key lesson? Sometimes it's not about fixing the average performance. Look at the outliers - they often point to the biggest opportunities for improvement.    What data insights have surprised you lately? 

KlientBoost has +317 published case studies. This kept our CAC under $1,000 even at $20M ARR. Here's how: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 If the goal of brand marketing efforts is to appeal to the emotional side of our future buyers and get into their narrow consideration set… Social proof (case studies, testimonials, reviews) is designed to appeal to their logical side. So, from day one of KB, we decided we’ll build a Rolodex of case studies with brands from every vertical, revenue size, buyer type, etc. We wanted every prospect to be able to see a success story we’ve created in partnership with a brand that’s similar to them. Here are just a few of those case studies: 🏆 Segment: 195% of conversion goal reached, CPA 12% under goal & for the 1st time ever paid acquisition generated more SQLs than organic 🏆 Salesloft: 27% increase in conversions, 20% decrease in CPA, 15% increase in conversion rate 🏆 Airbnb: 7% decrease in cost per conversion, 25% decrease in cost per click, 22% increase in CTR 🏆 Podia: 24% increase in conversions, 37% decrease in CPA 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 If a prospect looks at G2 reviews, they’ll see that our biggest competitor has 8, and KlientBoost has 356. If they look at Clutch, the competitor has 54 while we have 377. Those two 4.8 ratings are suddenly not the same, right? Here’s our process for getting all these 5-star reviews & case studies: ✅ We’ve optimized our processes to deliver client wins very early (63% ROI increase on average in the first 3 months) ✅ In that first quarter, if NPS is 9 or 10, and we’ve hit our goals, we ask for a review ✅ Once we have a review, we’re halfway done with the case study, so we ask the client for a permission to do the full case study (90% of the time we get it) ✅ Account manager pulls out the biggest wins and finalizes the case study with the client and we publish it ✅ After these early wins, we ask clients for more trust and the mandate to work on bigger things ✅ Then we produce bigger wins and repeat this whole process Any business can benefit from this loop, so feel free to borrow it. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧’𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 As our content advisor pointed out, KlientBoost serves some of the greatest brands like Gong, G2 and Ramp… But people have to dig through our profiles and website to learn this. So now we’re working on properly highlighting all these case studies and client wins, especially here on LinkedIn. If you have some ideas, do let me know 🤘🏻

Every dentist hears it: word of mouth is king. The real question is what actually creates it. Townies keep circling back to a truth that is both comforting and frustrating. Most patients cannot judge a crown margin, but they are experts at judging how you made them feel. The wow factor has less to do with luxury finishes and more to do with removing friction, reducing anxiety, and proving you care in ways that feel genuine. Start with the unglamorous basics, because that is what patients talk about first. Answer the phone with a friendly human. Return calls. Make scheduling easy. Get people in quickly when they are in pain. Run on time. Avoid chaotic check-ins. Do not surprise patients with confusing bills after you “fix” their tooth. A surprising number of five-star reviews are really about punctuality, clarity, and respect for time. In competitive markets, that alone can be the differentiator. Then do a simple exercise most offices never do. Walk your practice like a new patient. Look at the parking lot. Sit in the lobby. Lie back in the chair and stare at the ceiling. You will spot silent confidence killers: weeds, old magazines, water stains, chipped paint, clutter, sticky notes everywhere. None of this requires a renovation. It requires noticing. Patients notice everything. Decor can help, but only if it matches the experience. A beautiful lobby paired with long waits, rushed explanations, or a grumpy team creates distrust. Physical wow has diminishing returns. Clean, fresh, and intentional beats luxury when the fundamentals are solid. The real wow lives in human connection. Smile. Use names. Sit patients upright to talk. Make eye contact. Explain treatment in plain language. Show images so it feels like education, not sales. Offer options. Be conservative when appropriate. Patients describe this as honesty, trust, and no pressure. For anxious patients, empathy plus preparation matters more than gadgets. Train assistants to narrate, anticipate discomfort, and stay present. Simple comforts help when they are personal and remembered. Asking “What would help today?” and getting it right next time creates loyalty. Follow-up may be the most underrated practice builder of all. Post-op calls, quick texts, or the dentist calling that evening prevent small issues from becoming resentment. They signal accountability, not just production. Technology can wow when it improves understanding and convenience, not when it becomes theater. Culture matters most. A happy, well-paid team with good systems creates consistency. Culture creates loyalty. The wow factor is not a trick. It is what happens when a kind, competent practice respects time, communicates clearly, and follows through every day for years. What is the one simple thing your office does that patients mention most often, and why do you think it sticks? Full discussion: https://lnkd.in/g3MxXSJU Dentaltown
