Prezzo: fa parte della customer experience?

Nota Aicex: usare la leva del prezzo come strategia di differenziazione comporta il fornire una customer experience di basso livello? Sembrerebbe di no…

 

Strategy-Pricing

In a recent discussion about customer experience that had been lively and provocative, the room went silent when the topic of pricing surfaced. That was not surprising, as it’s easy to anticipate that a low point in most customer experiences involves the discussion of prices. Even ads for car dealers have focused on the ways in which they’ve taken trauma and tension out of the purchasing experience, alluding to the industry’s tradition of unpleasantness during price negotiations. And the competitive environment of recent years has probably added to the difficulty that exists in coming to agreement on price. We have all heard quotes like the following. “The only way we got people into our store over the holidays was with massive discounts.” “My customers had to go down market during the recession, and they aren’t moving back up.” “We keep losing share to private labels in the Big Boxes, all due to price.”

While the above challenges are solidly based on reality, making pricing a daunting topic, firms that proactively manage pricing strategy with the right tools in place can produce significant top- and bottom-line results. A point gain in realized prices can yield a much larger proportional improvement in profits. And the evidence is strong that there is a strong correlation between margins and negative customer experiences – and that correlation goes the wrong way. Firms pay a price when the customer experience turns negative when the topic of price arises.

Come dire “no” senza perdere un cliente?

NOTA AICEX: trattare i clienti è decisamente un’arte. Come fare a dir loro “no” senza mettere a rischio la relazione?

I’ve been self-employed for more than 30 years. Most of that time, I’ve been busy, but not always. Twice in the past five years, I’ve lost half my income abruptly, once when two websites I worked for both shut down on the same day, once when I quit a client I just couldn’t stand anymore. At times like these, I’ve had to scramble to replace that business and keep the bills paid. Maybe that’s why I have an almost superstitious reluctance to turn away customers.

But sometimes it isn’t optional. The past few months, for whatever reason, I’ve been offered more business than I can handle. It’s a conundrum that every solopreneur and very small business has to solve some time or other. You must say no to a valuable customer or risk becoming overloaded and ineffective. But like a squirrel burying nuts for winter, you want to save that customer for later. Is that possible?
