Proprietary Customer Experience Research

Partnering with the award-winning, global voice of the customer (VoC) firm XEBO.ai, our Customer Experience research is designed to not only glean customer sentiment, but provide behavioral analytics as well.

Our clients want to know more than how their customers feel, but what are they likely to do as a result.

The results of our 2026 study are disturbing and should serve as a wake-up call for organizational leaders!

Sample insights from the 2026 research report

When customers are confronted with high friction/frustration scenarios, only 14% do nothing.

86% engage in behavior that negatively affects your business!

What causes customer frustration? Everything!

(And most of the causes are baked-in organizational policies, procedures and behaviors.)

These are not emotional reactions. They are calculated responses to systems that demand too much work.

We asked:

"If your customer loyalty tier benefits were reduced or made harder to qualify for, what would you most likely do?"

83% take negative action!
