1. Translating Insights into Action
A common frustration is collecting feedback but struggling to implement meaningful change. Managers worry that research findings won’t lead to tangible improvements, often due to internal resistance, unclear priorities, or lack of ownership.
2. Ensuring Research Drives Business Outcomes
CX research is an investment, and managers need to prove ROI. They often question: How does this data link to revenue, retention, or operational efficiencies? Without clear commercial impact, CX initiatives risk being deprioritised.
3. Getting a Representative and Reliable Sample
Managers worry about the accuracy and reliability of their research. Are they capturing feedback from the right customers? Are they hearing from engaged customers only, or also from silent, at-risk clients? Ensuring unbiased, high-quality data is a constant challenge.
4. Balancing Customer Experience with Operational Realities
Even when CX research uncovers critical issues, practical constraints (budget, resources, legacy systems) may prevent companies from acting. Managers must weigh customer expectations against what’s realistically achievable.
5. Keeping Research Relevant and Up to Date
Customer expectations shift rapidly, making research results outdated if it’s not conducted regularly. Managers worry about running annual surveys that don’t capture real-time sentiment, leading to slow responses and missed opportunities.
