Perché usiamo le survey per misurare la loyalty?

Nota Aicex: le survey sono diventate ormai di uso comune in tutti i business. Quali sono le metriche per misurare la fedeltà dei clienti? Perché si usano le survey invece di altri strumenti?

Customer loyalty is the leading indicator of business growth. As such, companies track objective measures of customer loyalty to help them monitor the health of the customer relationship. Some objective customer loyalty metrics are:

  • Customer retention/defection rates
  • New customer growth
  • Average revenue per user (ARPU)

Despite the existence of these (and other) objective metrics of customer loyalty, customer relationship surveys remain a frequently used way to assess customer loyalty. Measures of customer loyalty typically take the form of questions that ask the customer to indicate his or her likelihood of engaging in specific types of behaviors, those deemed important to the company/brand. For each objective loyalty metric above, we have a corresponding customer loyalty question:

  • How likely are you to switch providers in the next 12 months?
  • How likely are you to recommend <Company> to your friends/colleagues?
  • How likely are you to buy different/additional products from <Company>?

La Loyalty nel settore assicurativo. Il prezzo non basta!

In recent years, the consumer insurance market has changed out of all recognition. New channels such as the internet have transformed the landscape. Indeed, according to theFinancial Conduct Authority, almost half of all internet users have researched motor insurance on price comparison websites, with 4 out of 5 of them going on to buy policies through them.

Customer loyalty is a thing of the past and this is impacting the insurer’s bottom line. Asreported by the Financial Times, in the last 19 consecutive years the UK motor insurance industry has failed to turn an underwriting profit. For every £1 earned through premiums, insurers are paying out £1.08 in claims and expenses.

Smettetela di deliziare i vostri clienti

NOTA AICEX: deliziare i propri clienti sta diventando sempre più comune. I clienti ci giudicano davvero sulla base del nostro servizio “over the top”? Oppure si lamentano solo quando succede qualcosa di negativo?

The idea that companies must “delight” their customers has become so entrenched that managers rarely examine it. But ask yourself this: How often does someone patronize a company specifically because of its over-the-top service? You can probably think of a few examples, such as the traveler who makes a point of returning to a hotel that has a particularly attentive staff. But you probably can’t come up with many.

Now ask yourself: How often do consumers cut companies loose because of terrible service? All the time. They exact revenge on airlines that lose their bags, cable providers whose technicians keep them waiting, cellular companies whose reps put them on permanent hold, and dry cleaners who don’t understand what “rush order” means.

Il fallimento della CX nel negozio O2

NOTA AICEX: una interessante attività di mystery shopping per misurare la customer experience in alcuni negozi O2 in Gran Bretagna. Il risultato? Sembrerebbe un fallimento.

Since the start of 2014 I have carried out a number of mystery shopping assignments. The objective is usually to assess the customer service in a variety of shops and restaurants. In that time I have reported mostly positive feedback. Maybe it’s stating the obvious, but companies that invest in mystery shopping and customer feedback surveys tend to provide better customer experiences.
Since carrying out a few assignments I now find myself applying the mystery shopping tests to stores and restaurants when I am not on assignment. When consciously applying these tests, I have found that customer service is noticeably poor in many stores. A frustrating aspect of this is that I don’t have the assignment sheets or customer feedback surveys to express these failures and often leave the store feeling annoyed by the experience.
But today I remembered I have a blog!
The purpose of my blog was originally to discuss how to do things better – so today I will share that view with O2.
Assignment – visit the O2 Store in St. Albans to collect a replacement battery for a Samsung phone within warranty. Previous visit indicated that a battery would be available for collection by this date.
Visit date/time – 1st June, 11.20am.
