Identify the strong points and the weak points in your performance and your products/services as perceived by your customers, like any strong negative sentiments about your product quality or customer service standards.

Exactly identifying the problem with sentiment analysis

Negative comments report that your customer service department isn’t your strong point because every time a customer calls, they are made to repeat their issue, and even after complaining several times their issue stays unresolved. You now know what is explicitly wrong within the customer service department and can institute a process for complaint resolution.
