## VoC Framework Overview

### The Listen → Analyze → Act Cycle

**Analyze**
Organize, categorize, and extract insights: tagging, sentiment analysis, theme identification, quantification

**Act**

## Feedback Collection Sources

|--------|------|----------|
| NPS/CSAT surveys | Quantitative + Qualitative | Overall satisfaction trends |
| Support tickets | Qualitative | Product issues, pain points |
| Reviews (G2, App Store) | Qualitative | Purchase decision factors |
| Sales call notes | Qualitative | Objections, requirements |
| User interviews | Qualitative | Deep understanding |
| Social media | Qualitative | Sentiment, brand perception |
| Feature requests | Qualitative | Product roadmap input |
