The Future of Customer Experience Starts with Smarter Listening

Customer experience is only as strong as the feedback that shapes it but fewer customers are speaking up. In this episode, Isabelle Zdatny, Head of Thought Leadership at the Qualtrics XM Institute, joins Intercom’s VP of Customer Support Declan Ivory to unpack the decline in customer feedback – and what it means for businesses aiming to deliver world-class experiences. They explore the trust gap, survey fatigue, and rising expectations, and explain why great CX now depends on smarter, faster listening. From adaptive surveys to AI-powered insights, they reveal how leading companies are transforming how they capture feedback and continuously improve the customer journey.
