What is Customer Visibility?
As the term suggests, customer visibility refers to being fully visible and alert of every customer interaction. These interactions can range from support calls, sales posts, emails, or even accounting interactions. This also includes keeping records of their live chats, phone calls, and social media posts about your company. Ideally, all of these are together in a central database for easy navigation.
What Happens When There’s a Lack of Visibility?
Usually, companies do track all the information about their customers. But, often, it’s siloed in different systems, making it cumbersome to sort through and access the right insights when needed. Having a centralized or single source of truth allows a company to access customer data at any time.
Also, it creates a holistic view that augments communication, increases your productivity, and leads to a seamless alignment in and across departments.

Building Customer Visibility Using Data
Every piece of data needs to follow a certain baseline that lets you track your customer’s information. Before we set out to do that, there are two pivotal questions that need immediate attention:
Those are:
1. What are your Health Goals?
First and foremost, come up with a well-understood way to measure your customer health score. Defining this will help you track how satisfied your customers are with your brand. Outlining your health goals from the beginning ensures that you and your customer are on the same page.
2. What are your Usage Goals?
Secondly, you must see how you can measure the number of active users daily, their time spent on your pages, their login credentials, and track their customer journey.
