Mindshare Incident Management with Jack in the Box

Posted on: May 31st, 2013 by Mindshare

Mindshare’s Incident Management makes exceptional customer satisfaction a reality.

Designed for all levels of management—front-line managers in particular—Incident Management keeps your company ahead of the curve on all incidents that could potentially threaten the health of your business. It helps organizations keep incidents in check by providing real-time reports that empower location managers to save customers who have experienced a service issue.

How One Client Is Using It

Drive-Thru Incident ManagementJack in the Box is a prime example of a company getting innovative with their implementation of our cutting-edge VoC technology. They’ve paired Mindshare Monitor Text Analytics with Incident Management, enabling them to receive instant alerts based on specific words and phrases found in open-ended customer comments.

For example, every time a customer mentions the phrase “out of stock” in a customer review, an alert is sent instantly to management at the specified restaurant location, and the depleted stock is replenished before the incident becomes a costly problem.

Five Ways to Use Your Most Common Customer Feedback

Posted on: February 7th, 2013 by Clint Dalton - Marketing

What They WantYou don’t need customer feedback to tell you that your customers want to be treated with respect.

You don’t need customer feedback to tell you that a smile translates across a telephone line—and even a computer screen.

Yet, not surprisingly, that’s the story most frequently told in customer comments. From the thousands of customer reviews that Mindshare sees daily, the bulk of customer insights contain the same common sense recipe for success: “Be nice. Be happy. Keep products in stock. Treat customers like people, not transactions.”

Of course, completely unexpected insights pop up, too—but the fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of customer comments amount to this:

Speech-to-Text: Artificial Intelligence for Genuine VoC

Posted on: January 11th, 2013 by Todd Labrum - product manager

Siri

Siri. Chances are, you have already heard about Apple’s infamous iPhone personality. Through extensive marketing campaigns, Apple unveiled Siri, a feature that allows users to interact with their phone by speaking to it. Yes, that’s right, by speaking to your phone.

Say you wanted to know what the weather was going to look like, all you would have to do is say to your phone, “Weather.” Your phone then proceeds to reply with the weather forecast in your area. Want to check how busy your day is? Just ask, “What’s my day look like?” Your phone will then report your day. Is Siri the beginning of pocket artificial intelligence? It (she?) very well may be.

Why am I talking about Siri? Because Siri demonstrates the real-life application of some very cool speech-to-text technology. Speech-to-text is the ability of a computer to transcribe spoken language into usable text. This type of technological ability is very new but maturing rapidly.

Posted on: October 16th, 2012 by John Sperry - CEO

Mindshare’s 2012 Best Practice(s) ConferenceLast month, Mindshare Technologies hosted, quite literally, the best conference on Voice of the Customer best practices. So many of our amazing partners—who are just plain fun to be around—made the trip to Park City and sparked a thousand different conversations centered on customer feedback application.

Together we discussed the impressive current state of VoC solutions (still vastly underused by the business world, by the way). We didn’t stop there, though, because getting “up to speed” is only half the battle. The second half of the battle was fought with previews and demos of tomorrow’s VoC solutions.
