Understanding your customers has never been easier! IVR Voice of the Customer (VoC) surveys allow businesses to capture authentic feedback directly from customers through automated phone surveys. Gather valuable insights, measure sentiment, and optimize your services—all in real-time.
What is an IVR VoC Survey?
An IVR Voice of the Customer (VoC) survey is an automated telephone-based IVR survey designed to capture customer insights, feedback, and sentiment in real-time. Using pre-recorded voice prompts and touch-tone or speech recognition technology, IVR VoC surveys allow businesses to gather qualitative and quantitative data efficiently.
Customers are asked open-ended and structured questions such as: "What do you like most about our product/service?" "What improvements would you suggest?" "How satisfied are you with your overall experience?" Responses are automatically recorded, transcribed, and analyzed to provide deep insights into customer needs, expectations, and pain points.
Whether used for post-interaction feedback, brand perception analysis, or product/service evaluations, IVR VoC surveys enable businesses to understand their customers better, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive strategic improvements based on authentic voice-driven feedback.
Understanding customer sentiment is crucial for businesses looking to improve services, strengthen relationships, and drive innovation. IVR VoC surveys streamline feedback collection, capturing authentic customer voices in real-time.
Capture customer insights through an IVR system that records qualitative and quantitative feedback.

When conducting Voice of Customer (VOC) surveys using an IVR system, businesses must adhere to several legal guidelines to ensure compliance with industry regulations and protect consumers. Below are the key legal considerations to keep in mind:
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) regulates robocalls, including those used in VOC surveys. Businesses must obtain explicit consent from recipients before sending non-emergency automated calls and ensure they are not contacting numbers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry.
It's essential to ensure that recipients have opted in to receive automated survey calls. Provide an easy way for recipients to opt out of future calls. IVR systems should allow for seamless opt-out functionality to comply with consumer protection laws and maintain transparency.
IVR VOC surveys should disclose the purpose of the call at the beginning, ensuring that recipients know they are participating in a survey. Clearly identify your organization and the intent of the survey to maintain transparency and avoid misleading recipients.
VOC surveys often collect sensitive customer feedback. Compliance with data privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, or other regional regulations is critical. Ensure that customer data is securely stored and used only for the survey's stated purpose. Implement robust encryption and security measures to protect personal information.
Automated survey calls must adhere to legal restrictions regarding acceptable calling hours. Generally, IVR systems should initiate calls only between 8 AM and 9 PM in the recipient's local time zone. Be sure to follow these time-based restrictions to avoid potential violations.
If the VOC survey involves recording customer feedback or conversations, businesses must inform recipients that their responses will be recorded. Depending on the jurisdiction, consent may be required prior to recording. A clear recording disclaimer should be included in the IVR message.
By following these legal best practices, businesses can conduct IVR-based VOC surveys effectively while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. For more information, refer to the Sigma Voice Terms of Service or consult with a legal professional to ensure full compliance with applicable laws.
