      <title>How to Use Customer Feedback in Product Development?</title>
      <dc:creator>Khushbu</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://dev.to/oktuned/how-to-use-customer-feedback-in-product-development-4f72</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The product development process is very nuanced. A lot goes on between product ideation and launch, but, at its core, everything revolves around your customer’s needs and expectations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But how do you know what your customer wants? That’s where customer feedback comes into the picture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roy H. Williams famously said, "The first step in exceeding your customer’s expectations is to know those expectations."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customer feedback is your source to learn what customers want from your product, helping you better understand and enhance the customer experience over time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is a product development process?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The product development process is a step-by-step breakdown of all the actions needed to build and launch a product in the market.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It aims to create unique marketable products, maximize their value, and mitigate risks of failure due to poor quality, premature/delayed launch, and non-competitive pricing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why is having a product development process necessary?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It helps you develop a solid product and identify improvement and iteration opportunities to ensure your product sustains in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Organizations with a product development process are better equipped to provide new value to customers and improve brand loyalty. In fact, businesses that address product development in a structured manner are more successful than those that don’t, according to Wheelwright and Clark.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Six stages of a product development process
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most successful product development teams have great talent and follow a structured plan to understand the customer problems they are trying to solve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product Ideation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Research &amp;amp; Idea Validation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product Planning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prototyping&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initial Design and Testing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product Launch and Growth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to use Customer feedback in Product Development?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your first release likely only has the core features, so it starts generating sales. You can always iterate later, right? But any iteration that isn't based on customer feedback is useless.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/ways-for-product-managers-to-collect-user-feedback/"&gt;Collecting user feedback&lt;/a&gt; after launching a product enables you to create a thriving and cost-saving dynamic between you and your target audience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It equips you with the knowledge to accurately and efficiently meet customer expectations by enhancing your product, leading to increased market share and customer loyalty. Another advantage is that it refines marketing and sales strategies to better align with your target customer's preferences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This brings us to the next big question: how do you apply and collect customer feedback in your product development process? Here are a few ideas:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Capture feedback early to uncover customer pain points&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Incorporating customer feedback in the product ideation stage will give you a complete analysis of your product idea and its strengths and weaknesses. &lt;br&gt;
You'll know:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do users expect from you as a brand?&lt;br&gt;
Whether your vision is in sync with what they need?&lt;br&gt;
How to advance future improvements?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you've gathered customer feedback, analyze responses to understand their needs and expectations. Rapidr provides customer feedback portals to gather early feedback to identify customer pain points, problems, and features required to build the ideal product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then put your thinking cap on, start brainstorming ways to enhance your product development efforts, and then deploy ideas with the greatest potential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Identify product-market fit with user feedback&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Capturing information from user research and feedback in the product validation stage will help you identify product-market fit, ensuring you're serving your target audience with the right product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your priority here should be your product—how your target customers are using it, whether or not they are using it with other tools, and if there's any actual interest in using your product for the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ensure you're getting feedback from an unbiased and substantial audience. Use your discretion and avoid overvaluing feedback. For deeper insights, you can also get internal feedback from customer-facing teams like sales and marketing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All this will help you determine whether your product is solving a big enough problem for your customers and define how product-market fit looks for your product. If not, you can optimize your product based on the feedback—or cease production altogether to focus on products more likely to bring in revenue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prioritize highly demanded features and functionalities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Every company has limited resources—time, budget, and available employees. It's why you must distinguish the important from the urgent by prioritizing highly demanded features in the product planning stage, ultimately preventing delays and a poorly executed product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customer feedback gives you deep insights into the kind of functionalities users want from your product, making prioritization easier. &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/customer-feedback-tools/"&gt;Customer feedback tools like Rapidr &lt;/a&gt;help prioritize features and functionalities to finalize and plan product design, pricing, content, and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Validate your product concepts to increase feature adoption&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The prototyping and testing stages involve testing different versions of your product to understand your ideal product better and collecting feedback from a limited group of customers with private feedback boards offered by Rapidr.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In-app feedback widgets provided by Rapidr can also be useful for collecting feedback on new features and product design while the users are inside the app to increase feature adoption.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After collecting the feedback, evaluate your product strategy based on feasibility and analyze potential risks before your product enters the development phase. Try to work out major technical issues or include highly-voted features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inform product research and development with a product roadmap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Develop a product roadmap to match the broader product and company goals with development efforts. This will enable you to align your teams around common goals and create better products in the initial design and testing stage. Feedback can help test ideas at the pre-development stage to make early changes before building a prototype and inform product research.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rapidr offers a &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/public-product-roadmap-examples/"&gt;public product roadmap&lt;/a&gt; that lets you showcase prioritized ideas and features, customer and team feedback received, most voted and highly discussed ideas, and their respective statuses. Think of it as a high-level plan of action that informs teams of what needs to be done and keeps stakeholders in the loop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Refine marketing and sales strategies to better align with prospect needs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Besides hypothesizing what your customers need, you can use customer feedback to design marketing messages that better resonate with your target audience and develop a lead-generating marketing strategy to boost sales.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This, in turn, will create a successful and cost-saving dynamic between customers and the company. Asking for customer views in the product launch stage (and acting accordingly) also makes them feel valued and appreciated, encouraging them to become advocates for the brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Announce updates to improve customer satisfaction and experience&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your job isn't over after launching the product. You still need to factor in product experience and customer satisfaction to ensure your product survives in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leverage customer feedback and customer experience scores such as NPS and CSAT to identify areas of improvement. Then, make the required changes based on the collected data to enhance your product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/closing-the-customer-feedback-loop/"&gt;Close the customer feedback loop&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/product/product-changelog/"&gt;product changelog&lt;/a&gt; to update users about new releases and encourage them to voice their opinions, boost customer engagement, and retain existing customers.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How to choose a website feedback tool?</title>
      <dc:creator>Khushbu</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 26 May 2022 12:35:34 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/oktuned/how-to-choose-a-website-feedback-tool-2kpi</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/oktuned/how-to-choose-a-website-feedback-tool-2kpi</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A website feedback tool is essential for any business today that wants to optimize its customer experience and improve conversion rates. However, not all feedback tools are created equal, so it's important to know what you're looking for before selecting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Choosing the right website feedback tool can be a daunting task. There are many options to choose from, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. In this article, we will explore some of the most popular feedback tools available on the market today and highlight their strengths and weaknesses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is a website feedback tool?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Website feedback is a way to collect valuable insights and feedback from customers and website visitors about your website. It helps you understand how people interact with your site, what they like, and what they don't like. They can be used to improve user experience on the website, track customer opinions, and provide insights into how people use the site.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;website feedback tool&lt;/a&gt; is a great way to track and manage critical feedback from your website visitors. These tools help collect, analyze, and help understand the visitor's behavior and preferences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What are the types of website feedback?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voice of the Customer Surveys&lt;/strong&gt;: The &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/glossary/feedback/voice-of-the-customer/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Voice of the Customer&lt;/a&gt; Surveys help companies understand what their customers want and how they feel about a specific product or service. They help them get feedback on what they need to change to improve their customer experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goals of the voice of customer survey tools like Hubspot, Feedbackify, Survicate, etc., are to collect insights to improve products and services, as well as to provide overall customer satisfaction and excellent customer support. Voc surveys come in many forms, from open-ended questions to multiple-choice and yes/no questionnaires. It supports regular  NPS, CSAT, and CES surveys as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Voice of the customer surveys helps collect feedback from customers and potential customers on how they view a product or service that can be used to assess customer satisfaction and measure their willingness to buy it again in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With that said, Voc surveys come in various forms, like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pop-up surveys (immediately appear on a specific trigger).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exit surveys (when you attempt to leave the website).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fw9dlms0awkj1fkaen3yj.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fw9dlms0awkj1fkaen3yj.png" alt="Image description"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feedback Widgets&lt;/strong&gt;: A feedback widget is a way for a company to get feedback from its customers and visitors. They are typically embedded buttons on the company's website which offer customers an opportunity to provide feedback on the website, products, or services they were provided with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feedback widgets provided by customer feedback tools like Rapidr, Hotjar, etc., support interactive forms to get feedback from its customers about their experience with the product or services. Feedback widgets also help developers get instant feedback about how users find their product, fix bugs, improve design, and develop new features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feedback widgets are much more than just a way to collect feedback; they’re also an opportunity to learn about your users and improve your site based on their needs and wants and provide excellent customer support. Feedback widgets can take many forms. Some may be simple questionnaires, while others may be more complex with multiple questions and answers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fn9ub02pa0eie6o3j7mlw.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fn9ub02pa0eie6o3j7mlw.png" alt="Image description"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feedback Forms&lt;/strong&gt;: Feedback forms are an easy way to get information about your site and what people think about it. Feedback forms allow you to collect data on specific topics or aspects of your site that you want more insight into.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, if you want to know what people think about the design of your site, you can ask for their opinion through a specific question or set of questions on the form. Tools such as Typeform, Google Forms, etc., are used as feedback forms on various websites.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feedback Pages&lt;/strong&gt;:Companies use the community feedback tools such as Rapidr, Uservoice, and UserEcho to get feedback from their customers. They are usually in the form of feedback forums and feedback pages. Feedback pages are a great way to collect feedback from your customers and make adjustments accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Companies create dedicated feedback pages to provide an open forum to their customers to suggest new ideas, report bugs, and understand their views on the features they are developing. When feedback pages are combined with public roadmaps and product changelog, they create an end-to-end solution to close the user feedback loop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With tools like Rapidr, companies start a complete product development cycle by listening to customers' ideas, asking for their opinions, &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/feature-prioritization/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;prioritizing features&lt;/a&gt;, and feedback based on business objectives, and showcasing progress with public roadmaps and changelogs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnitn0o4xvqwlv45qi542.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnitn0o4xvqwlv45qi542.png" alt="Image description"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visual feedback&lt;/strong&gt;: Visual feedback, also called usability feedback, directly captures feedback from users. Visual feedback tools provide a more visual way of giving feedback by pointing out specific page elements (including buttons, text, images, or elements) and giving feedback on those.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Visual feedback tools help designers and developers understand how users interact with their products, such as BugHerd, Usersnap, Marker, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traditional Surveys&lt;/strong&gt;: Traditional surveys allow you to ask questions and get answers in a quantitative manner. They also help you understand your audience's demographics better and find out what their preferences are when it comes to content, design, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Online survey tools such as SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, and Mopinion are used for marketing research, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and internal processes. They can help companies make decisions on how to improve their products and services by gathering feedback from their customers or employees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F03f7u57serpl3axvwri8.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F03f7u57serpl3axvwri8.png" alt="Image description"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reviews and Ratings&lt;/strong&gt;: The customer is king, and customer reviews and ratings are the new forms of royalty. According to a research, more than 90% of customers read online reviews before buying. Reviews and ratings are a great way to get an idea of the quality of a product or service. They help people make informed decisions before buying something or using some product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A review evaluates something, such as a product, service, or performance. Reviews are written by customers and maybe about a product or an experience. A rating is an assessment of one item's relative quality compared to another item. Ratings can be "good," "poor," "excellent," etc., but are usually on some kind of scale-like 1-10 or 1-5 stars.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Online Review and Rating tools such as TrustPilot, Bazaarvoice, Podium, etc., allow users to share their thoughts on products and services online in reviews and collect user ratings on their products or services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdhh6mta2kgmyjbwzmykf.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdhh6mta2kgmyjbwzmykf.png" alt="Image description"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What are the benefits of using a website feedback tool?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Website feedback tools will not only help you collect feedback from website visitors but push your company in the right direction for growth. They allow you to understand better what your customers think about your product or service. Benefits of using website feedback tools:&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Intercom provides a comprehensive customer communication platform that helps companies build better relationships with their customers by collecting feedback and feature requests via Inbox and Messenger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The feedback and feature requests received from customers &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/integrations/intercom/"&gt;via Intercom&lt;/a&gt; would help inform your product decisions, be more customer-centric, and understand how your customers use your products at a deeper level, paving the way for customer-led growth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You definitely don’t want to lose this opportunity to use valuable feedback to improve the product.  This requires a dedicated system to collect and manage feedback that helps your customers feel heard and involved.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--9Kgrhl1y--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/be6vz3n930ptchqjhd3t.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--9Kgrhl1y--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/be6vz3n930ptchqjhd3t.png" alt="Rapidr Intercom Integration" width="880" height="583"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Qualities of a Good Feature Request Tracking System:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Simple and Easy to Use
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Simple to understand and easy to use. It should also be easy to update and maintain and provide a clear overview of the status of any given request. The process should also be flexible enough to work well with the organization’s culture, size, and scope of work. Help you manage the requests by organizing them, categorizing them, and prioritizing them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Supports collaboration between Team and Customers
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Allow for easy collaboration with other team members. A system that is easily accessible and visible to the whole company. One that encourages collaboration between customers and teammates to create a better understanding of customer needs and team limitations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Supports Systematic Categorization and Segmentation
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Intercom integration should automatically sync user and company data and attributes from your Intercom workspace, which are used to segment and prioritize feedback from your most valuable customers. It should make it possible for the user to see all of the feedback collected in one place and their status. The user should also be able to filter by different criteria such as date, priority, status, or type and pick out duplicate requests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Closes the Feedback Loop
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The process should also provide transparency to stakeholders about the status of a project or idea. A good feature request process should be able to communicate with users about their requests through email notifications, Slack messages, or any other appropriate channels. It should also show how many of the requested features are already in development, which will help users understand the progress that is being made.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How to Collect Feedback and Feature Requests in Intercom:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Using &lt;a href="https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/446-keep-track-of-support-requests-and-bugs-by-tagging-conversations"&gt;Intercom&lt;/a&gt; tagging and reports&lt;/strong&gt; but it lacks essential features for feedback tracking and requires exporting of feedback for management.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Using generic tools like Spreadsheets or Trello,&lt;/strong&gt; but they have no Intercom Integration, don't support segmentation and closing the feedback loop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using a dedicated feedback management tool with a deep Intercom Integration like &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io"&gt;Rapidr&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rapidr's &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/integrations/intercom/"&gt;deep Intercom Integration&lt;/a&gt; makes it easy for your product and customer support teams to track incoming feedback right on Intercom. You'll be able to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Track customer feedback and feature requests&lt;/strong&gt; while conversing with the customers in Intercom Inbox.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Capture the votes of customers requesting feedback requests&lt;/strong&gt; already present directly in Inbox to avoid duplication.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Receive user feedback requests via Intercom Messenger&lt;/strong&gt; directly on your feedback boards in Rapidr.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Insert relevant information as cards while replying in Intercom conversations&lt;/strong&gt;, along with the feedback name and a link to the full feedback post on the Rapidr dashboard.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Rapidr automatically detects your customer's details&lt;/strong&gt; and links them to your feedback in Rapidr dashboard, enhancing your feedback management process.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Prioritize and analyze feedback&lt;/strong&gt; to see what's most impactful to inform product decisions in Rapidr.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Show the feature development progress via Public Roadmap&lt;/strong&gt; in Rapidr.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once implemented, inform your customers about the release of requested features via Release Notes in Rapidr.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Capture User Feedback without leaving Intercom Inbox
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enable your team members to capture feedback or track customers' interest in any existing feedback by adding Rapidr to your Intercom Inbox. Select any conversation inside Intercom Inbox, and hit "Customize"  to add "Rapidr" from the menu.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--o5awxjqz--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/coq3l940c6me849lv4on.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--o5awxjqz--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/coq3l940c6me849lv4on.png" alt="Intercom Inbox" width="880" height="710"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rapidr in Intercom Inbox lets your team members: create feedback on behalf of the customer and track their vote on any existing feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's how it all ties together:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search for existing feedback with a few keywords. We try to fetch the most relevant feedback for your search query.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Alongside feedback, Rapidr shows a few critical information like the status like "In Progress" and # of votes received so you can communicate that with the customer. Since the feedback provided is already present in the system, you can click on the list item (feedback), and their vote will be captured.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When nothing matches your search result, you can create new feedback on behalf of the customer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Receive User Feedback via Intercom Messenger
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let users give you feedback directly from Messenger Home by adding the Rapidr app. Once done, you can let your users suggest ideas and send feature requests directly from Messenger. It’s one of the easiest and most convenient ways to capture feedback, and it takes the burden away from your support reps.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--C6fVE5xe--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/n2cw5gtnhtyvqg5zjck2.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--C6fVE5xe--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/n2cw5gtnhtyvqg5zjck2.png" alt="Intercom Messenger" width="880" height="488"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever a customer opens the Intercom Messenger, Rapidr will prompt your users if they have a feature request or feedback to share. If they do, they can directly share what's on their minds by clicking a button.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Insert Relevant Information in Intercom Conversations
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your support team can insert relevant information as cards in the conversations when replying with Rapidr. For example, "Your feedback has been tracked" or "Your vote has been added," along with the feedback name and a link to the full post on the Rapidr dashboard. This enables your customer to click through to the Rapidr portal and read comments or browse related feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You'll immediately notice the user interface is almost identical to the Inbox app. The only difference between them is that when you create feedback or track a vote here, we'll create a conversation card and insert it into your current reply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a rule of thumb: Use the "insert into Conversation" feature when you want to send the Rapidr app to your customer to help them click through and interact with the feedback portal. And the Inbox app when you don't like to send them any additional info or don't want them to know what feedback management software you're using.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Identify Top Feedback for Product Improvement with Rapidr
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To enable your users or team members to send feedback to Rapidr, you must have at least one feedback board created on your Rapidr account. Boards help you categorize and organize feedback and collect feedback via Intercom and through widgets, Slack etc.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--MI3M52EH--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/kt5qsmj44tytorzeskb0.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--MI3M52EH--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/kt5qsmj44tytorzeskb0.png" alt="Feefback captured via Intercom" width="880" height="548"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Use votes and comments within a feedback board to prioritize features and make feedback-driven decisions. &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/blog/track-feature-requests/"&gt;Rank feature requests&lt;/a&gt; and tasks based on impact to focus only on essential ideas. Keep a clear overview of feedback that matters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Prioritize and Showcase progress with Product Roadmap
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rapidr helps you create a &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/uses/public-roadmap/"&gt;Public Roadmap&lt;/a&gt;. When paired with the existing feedback boards, this roadmap helps you by showing the progress and direction of product development to your customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This roadmap also helps you communicate your priorities over broad timeframes emphasizing on the near-term, along with assessing new feedback requests for functionality against planned work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oyhuMwtj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/olx0zb9kc6wu4o12up7c.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--oyhuMwtj--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/olx0zb9kc6wu4o12up7c.png" alt="Product Roadmap" width="880" height="673"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Keep Customers Engaged with Product Updates &amp;amp; Release Notes
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/uses/release-notes/"&gt;Release Notes&lt;/a&gt; is the easiest way to keep your customers or prospects in the know about what's new with your product. Automatically update users and other stakeholders, don’t leave them wondering what’s come of their feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The final step to closing the feedback loop, communicate and keep customers in the loop as their feedback moves through the product development process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--B9R8AqlZ--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/obg30pizppvpiijmnc0y.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--B9R8AqlZ--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/obg30pizppvpiijmnc0y.png" alt="Release Notes" width="880" height="462"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Never lose sight of common feature requests, ideas, and pain points from your Intercom conversations with Rapidr. Easily see what matters to your customers and why and inform your product decisions with all context at hand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Manage the entire feedback lifecycle –– Product Ideation, Feature Prioritization, Public Roadmap, Product Strategy, Releases –– in one place. Better visibility and management of feedback for your users and teammates. See why leading product teams choose &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io/integrations/intercom/"&gt;Rapidr with Intercom&lt;/a&gt; as their tool of choice for feedback management.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Why Getting Customer Feedback Is So Painfully Hard?</title>
      <dc:creator>Khushbu</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 29 Jun 2021 09:44:06 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/oktuned/why-getting-customer-feedback-is-so-painfully-hard-2aj2</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/oktuned/why-getting-customer-feedback-is-so-painfully-hard-2aj2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Customer feedback matters. It's at the core of every successful company. Feedback captures the expectations, likes, and dislikes of your customers. To build a strong relationship with their customers, companies must listen to what they have to say, act on it, and close the feedback loop by notifying them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although customers nowadays are far more vocal and forthcoming, you'd still have to put in a lot of work to capture their thoughts and ideas because they're not so keen on contributing back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's some of the reasons why customers loathe the idea of giving product feedback:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Customers don't hear back
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When a customer reaches out, how long does it take for you to reply? Are you making your customers feel appreciated? Do they feel good about your product?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever you ask customers for feedback,  listen even if it is negative. Listening and responding plays a crucial role in customer satisfaction and customer retention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customers would be enthusiastic about providing feedback if they see it making a difference. Ignoring feedback, responding slowly, or not involving customers at all in a product's roadmap would be the ultimate recipe for failure. There's no point in asking for customer feedback if you don't plan to address it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customers desire transparency and action. When you don't pay heed to their suggestions, they often feel like you're turning a deaf ear. They feel abandoned &amp;amp; unheard, and feel wary of providing any feedback in the future. And to put salt on the wound, your customers might jump ship if they can.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Feedback surveys are too long
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--pgBDSIJ9--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/nw1ii2vt5qnjpvtmk8sk.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--pgBDSIJ9--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/nw1ii2vt5qnjpvtmk8sk.png" alt="Alt Text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taking long feedback surveys is a pain; you wouldn't want your customers to go through. A study found that 60% of users don't want to take a survey that takes longer than 10 minutes. Narrow your focus while taking surveys.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understanding your customer's persona when collecting feedback is vital to make informed decisions about the number and type of questions in the survey. Different customers can have different motivations for providing feedback with varying attention spans and tolerance for lengthy surveys.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People are busy. The more questions you ask, the less time they would spend answering each question, giving you incoherent answers. Customers like nothing less than a long and drawn-out survey, which they won't even complete or will provide random answers to get it over the finish line.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Emails are too messy
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Email is probably the best channel for soliciting customer feedback and also the messiest. Since email is the best channel for marketing, there is a high chance that your email is going to be marked as spam.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even if it goes through, most feedback-seeking emails sound so formal, joyless, and automated that the intended recipient rarely hits the reply button. On top of that, managing emails is a nightmare.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customers appreciate companies that care but sending a feedback email with a "Feel free to let me know what do you think?" definitely doesn't scream customer engagement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is easier to overlook collecting and analyzing customer feedback, but it is vital to understand customers' needs. Collecting feedback via emails feels like you could do with or without their feedback; why would they even bother to reply then?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Live chats are not for feedback
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chats are used to enhance customers' experience and clarify their doubts whenever they are stuck somewhere, not to collect their feature requests or any product related insights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chats answer customers' queries on the spot, making them essential for customer support and satisfaction. Live chat is an excellent real-time interaction tool but horrendous for collecting feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keeping track of which customer asked what, becomes extremely hard with chats and becomes unmanageable in the case of duplicate entries and requests. That's the #1 reason which makes customers hesitant to request anything on chat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Along with that, chats take up valuable time to simultaneously collect feedback and troubleshoot any problems, making this process cumbersome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Product Feedback boxes and pop-ups are annoying
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--TPoO8JpK--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/azasbf7vbhbo6h9q7rm5.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--TPoO8JpK--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/azasbf7vbhbo6h9q7rm5.png" alt="Alt Text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feedback pop-ups that emerge out of nowhere, asking unrelated questions are nothing but a big turn off. It annoys the customer and they might end up leaving your site altogether.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poorly designed feedback boxes and pop-ups with lots of questions might even get on the nerve of those customers who want to give positive feedback. An intricate feedback pop-up design makes providing feedback hard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Think of the experience you're subjecting your customers to. They open the app to get things done, and you show them the feedback pop-ups -- which go off and on again and again –– interrupting their whole flow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Simple, intuitive UI with minimal complexity is practical and more comfortable to attract great feedback.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Using social media for feedback isn't feasible and too transparent
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Social media feedback isn't targeted and is public, so it's instantly visible to almost everyone. It's hard to discover and most of the times gets lost.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It requires staff-hours for searching either with a hashtag or keywords to identify those specific comments relevant to your product, making it a super complicated job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming job to manage feedback from different social media accounts and requires dedicated resources. Social media makes it even harder to follow-up with the customer to address any issue, leaving them hoping for replies and in-the-end frustrated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And also, you're right in front of everyone. Your competitors can see you reason through and say NO to building features that their potential customers want.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Summary
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not acting on or providing progress on customer feedback is a recipe for disaster.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Surveys are often long and drawn out. The answers you'll receive will vary in quality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Soliciting feedback via email feels joyless and often times automated. Customers can see through it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People hate pop-ups that go off at random times on an app they're paying for is infuriating.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Live chats require logistics and additional training for your support staff.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social media is way too transparent, and your competitors might snoop on what you're not building to prioritize their roadmap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Customers ♡ You
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Customers love giving feedback. They like the software they pay for to keep on improving and to keep adding more useful functionality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's the way we collectively solicit feedback that annoys them. And probably why they hate giving feedback already.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href="https://rapidr.io"&gt;Rapidr&lt;/a&gt;, our primary goal is to help product teams like yours stay on top of the incoming feedback and truly understand what your customers want. That too without live chat, pop-ups, Slack, and god-forbid emails.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--IN3FahK7--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ubl5zi2qha4x33bmfin0.jpeg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--IN3FahK7--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ubl5zi2qha4x33bmfin0.jpeg" alt="Alt Text"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're building a product that your customers feel joy using, where they can speak their hearts out and find what they needed but didn't know. And for you to understand how your customers use your products at a deeper level, paving way for customer-led growth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Building customer-first products have never been so simple. Rapidr is a breath of fresh air and free to try.&lt;/p&gt;
