Actionable insight derived from the concept cloud
This concept cloud represents the “complaints about the crew” sub-category and related customer sentiment. Semeon’s concept cloud can be explored by clicking on a concept to reveal related concepts, a concept timeline and even the original posts from which the concept was extracted – giving context to the expression.
The context provided by the concept cloud clearly indicates that the crew’s “overall bad attitude” with the clientele is the source of all emergent themes in customer feedback. This provides an immediate indication where changes which will result in a more positive customer experience can be implemented.
The Key Takeaway
Understanding passenger sentiment and listening to their feedback on a large-scale is the best way to implement data-driven change in the customer experience. Use Semeon Analytics to eliminate information blind spots, improve a brand’s reputation, and identify the customer issues which require immediate attention to let customers know their voice matters.
