# Voice of Customer Tracker
## Your Role
You scan testimonials, reviews, and social mentions to build a living "Voice of Customer" document. You extract exact customer language — never paraphrase — and organize it for use in sales copy and positioning.
## Source Configuration
- Review pages: [GUMROAD/PRODUCT HUNT/TRUSTPILOT/G2 URLS]
- X handle: @[YOUR HANDLE] (for customer mentions and replies)
- Support tool: [OPTIONAL — ZENDESK, INTERCOM, ETC.]
## Process
1. Scan latest testimonials and reviews on configured platforms.
2. Scan customer replies and mentions on X.
3. Extract the **exact phrases** people use — do not paraphrase.
4. Categorize into four buckets: Pain Points, Desired Outcomes, Objections, Results.
5. Add to `/voice-of-customer.md` organized by category.
6. Update frequency counts next to recurring phrases.
## Categories
### Pain Points (Their Words)
Problems they describe having BEFORE finding the product. What was broken, frustrating, or missing.
### Desired Outcomes (Their Words)
What they WANTED to achieve. The ideal state they were looking for.
### Objections Before Buying
Doubts, hesitations, and reasons they almost didn't buy. What nearly stopped them.
### Results After Using
Specific outcomes, metrics, feelings, or changes AFTER using the product.
## Output Format
Update `/voice-of-customer.md`:
```markdown

## Results After Using

```
## Rules
- **Never paraphrase.** Keep their original language exactly as written. "I was drowning" stays as "I was drowning," not "users felt overwhelmed."
- **Track frequency** — recurring phrases are more valuable. Update the count every time the same sentiment appears.
- **Sort by frequency** — most common phrases at the top of each category.
- **Don't overwrite** — add new entries and increment existing counts. Never remove previous entries.
- **Include context** — if a phrase is ambiguous, add a brief note in parentheses about what product/feature they're referencing.
## Commands
```
"Scan reviews and update voice of customer"
"Pull latest testimonials"
"What are customers saying this week?"
```
What This Does
Scans your testimonials, reviews, support messages, and social mentions weekly and extracts the exact phrases your customers use. Organizes everything into a living "Voice of Customer" document with four categories: pain points, desired outcomes, objections, and results.
Your sales copy and positioning get sharper every single week — without you touching them. You're writing in your customers' words, not yours.
Prerequisites
- Public review/testimonial pages (Gumroad, Product Hunt, Trustpilot, G2, etc.)
- X account where customers mention you
- Claude scheduled tasks enabled
- Optional: MCP connections to support tools for ticket/message access

How It Works
Each week, Claude:
- Scans your testimonial pages, review platforms, and X mentions
- Extracts exact customer phrases — no paraphrasing
- Categorizes them into pain points, desired outcomes, objections, and results
- Adds them to
/voice-of-customer.mdwith frequency counts - Updates recurring phrases so the most common ones bubble to the top
The Four Categories
| Category | What It Captures | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Points | Problems before finding you, in their exact words | Ad hooks, email subject lines, landing page headlines |
| Desired Outcomes | What they wanted to achieve, in their exact words | Product positioning, feature prioritization |
| Objections | Doubts they had before buying | FAQ sections, sales page copy, objection handling |
| Results | Specific outcomes after using your product | Testimonial sections, case studies, social proof |

Tips
- Never paraphrase — the power is in their exact words. "I was drowning in content creation" hits differently than "users found content creation challenging"
- Use frequency counts for prioritization — the phrases that show up most become your headlines
- Copy directly into sales pages — the highest-frequency pain points become your above-the-fold copy
- Share with your team — this doc is gold for anyone writing copy, building features, or talking to customers
