What Is Voice Of Customer Research And Why It Matters

Clear definition and positioning that differentiates strategic buyer intelligence from traditional VoC.

Definition of Voice of Customer Research
Voice of Customer Research captures what buyers and users say about purchasing decisions, vendor selection, and budget priorities. Avenor focuses on strategic buyer intelligence rather than only product satisfaction or UX feedback.

Strategic intelligence vs product feedback
Traditional VoC often measures satisfaction. Avenor surfaces why organizations pick vendors, what tradeoffs matter, and how procurement teams evaluate ROI so teams can set positioning and pricing with clearer evidence.
