Purpose

The Research Brain Voice Of Customer Positioning Mining Framework defines how MWMS systematically collects, extracts, and structures real customer language, problems, motivations, and beliefs to strengthen positioning and messaging.

Customers already describe:

  • their problems
  • their frustrations
  • their desires
  • their objections
  • their goals

The system must capture and use this language.

This framework ensures MWMS builds positioning and messaging from:

→ real customer insight

not:

→ internal assumptions


Core Principle

The best messaging comes from the customer, not the company.

If MWMS does not use customer language:

→ messaging becomes weak

Pattern Importance Rule

Repeated phrases are critical.

If multiple customers say the same thing:

→ it must be used


Emotion Rule

VOC must capture emotional intensity.

Examples:

VOC language must be:

  • simple
  • direct
  • specific

Avoid internal translation.


Application Rule
