It seems like the internet is full of ChatGPT \u201chacks\u201d these days. We are all inundated by articles and webinars that start with\u00a0 \u201cHow to Use ChatGPT to\u2026\u201d I have also had way too many conversations with my Gen-Z son and millennial colleagues about how they use the tool to make everyday tasks go by more quickly. And I wouldn\u2019t be the true customer experience nerd that I am if I didn\u2019t ask: “Could we customer experience (CX) professionals leverage ChatGPT customer experience survey<\/a> questions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the surface, it seems like an\u00a0obvious application for a ChatGPT customer experience approach. A survey is pretty straightforward, correct? Not so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep reading to find out what happened when I tested this approach and why it may not be the best way to go when it comes to your customer listening approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I started off with a simple question for ChatGPT, hoping for a simple customer satisfaction survey, typing in, \u201cWrite me a survey.\u201d You can see the screenshot of the output below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After reviewing the generated answer, you may be asking, \u201cwhat\u2019s missing?\u201d Well, to the untrained eye, there could be little to no difference between a traditionally written survey and a ChatGPT customer experience survey. After all, there are demographic questions, the typical \u201cHow satisfied were you with your experience,\u201d and other basic survey asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here is what stands out to me as a glaring absence. What is <\/em>missing is pretty much the most important part of any survey: the link to the business questions you are trying to answer by launching a survey in the first place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quick PSA from Jim: Creating surveys is an important topic, but I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention that while surveys are a tried-and-true method of collecting customer feedback, they are not the only way (or the best way, in many cases) to hear from customers. With so many channels available for you to monitor the voice of the customer, to restrict yourself to surveys alone is to limit your insights. This is another topic for another day (but if you\u2019re interested, you can learn more about other listening channels here)<\/a>. End of PSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, let\u2019s talk about the risks of using AI like ChatGPT to write surveys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me ask you a question: Is the point of your CX program to launch surveys? Now, many of you are likely rolling your eyes at me, but I promise, there\u2019s a point to this. Hopefully, you answered no. Because the point of customer experience is not to ask questions, but to listen to customers and the market to help guide your path to achieving business goals. The questions are simply a vehicle to gain insight into what will help or hinder your business on the way to realizing those goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you look at the output of ChatGPT customer experience questions in the screenshot above, these questions really miss the point. Yes, they are generic questions that we have all likely seen in surveys before, but what are they getting at? The only results I can see this survey gleaning is a scoreboard metric and some customer demographics that we might already have access to via other data sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you craft surveys, the first questions you should ask should be for you and your team. Do you have a set of northstar goals (GOALS not scores!) for your customer experience program already? Great! If not, start that conversation with your executive stakeholders and team. Only then can you truly design your program, surveys, and other initiatives with the end goal in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have agreed upon a desired end goal, then you need to ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to gut-check your surveys, you can check out this CX survey assessment<\/a> my colleagues developed to help you optimize your surveys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Context is everything. And when it comes to ChatGPT customer experience questions, they won\u2019t have any of the contextual data that you do. If your CX program has been around for a while, you likely have a mountain of customer data around. And that existing data will shape what you already know, and what questions you still need to ask. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Additionally, you might be tempted to feed ChatGPT some of your customer data, but that can unearth a whole boatload of security complications. Do you really want every ChatGPT user having access to your customer data? Didn\u2019t think so.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n An effective customer listening strategy is personal and targeted. Speaking to the customer in their language is critical. Many brands have worked hard to develop a brand persona. Asking customers for feedback in a sterile, canned voice will not yield the best results or further endear your brand to your customers. I don\u2019t believe your brand personalization can be accomplished by a ChatGPT survey\u2014at least not today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you may be thinking, \u201cJim, you\u2019ve made a good case for the risks of using ChatGPT for customer experience surveys. But there has to be some way I can use it.\u201d I\u2019m glad you asked and yes, there is! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I know we have all heard the fear-mongering conversations about AI taking jobs. And if we\u2019re being realistic, AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will also create new ones. Those who will be safe from that chopping block are those professionals who learn how to leverage AI to increase efficiency and perfect skills that AI alone just can\u2019t manage without human input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the customer experience space, this could be leveraging ChatGPT as a starting point, then leveraging the additional context you have about your customers and your brand\u2019s identity to perfect its suggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, ChatGPT can give you phrasing ideas for your survey questions as long as you are very specific in your prompts. It can also help you to think of other ways to ask questions you\u2019ve been posing to customers for a long time, giving your same old relationship and post-transaction surveys a refresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not about AI or humans. It\u2019s about humans using AI to improve and become more imaginative and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will end with this. I do not want to come off as a \u201cdebbie downer\u201d or, even worse, as naive. AI is going to have an increased role in customer experience and in creating the listening posts that practitioners create to capture customer insight. But, I believe true value will be well beyond simply crafting a survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The real power of ChatGPT and other AI tools will be to help understand the data that comes from a survey or the multiple direct and indirect data sources that make up the voice of the customer. And, just to validate this statement, I asked ChatGPT why the voice of the customer is important? In this case, ChatGPT was spot on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think we can all agree that ChatGPT is right on target with that answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems like the internet is full of ChatGPT \u201chacks\u201d these days.
