Nota AICEX: che fine ha fatto la tradizionale Customer Loyalty? Esiste ancora oppure è stata soppiantata dalla Customer Experience?

An older version of customer loyalty is dead, according to Emily Collins, Analyst, Forrester Research.

During her session, “Leverage Loyalty Beyond the Program,” at Forrester’s Forum for Customer Experience Professionals East last month in New York City, Collins espoused that theory.

“Loyalty owned and ruled by points and discounts is dead,” Collins said. “Long live elevated loyalty strategies that focus on creating great relationships with customers through things like recognition, relevancy, emotion, and engagement.”

Mantenere una promessa vale ben di più che eccedere le aspettative

NOTA AICEX: secondo recenti studi, eccedere nel mantenere una promessa non ha un valore superiore per il cliente. Mantenerla è già sufficiente per ottenere la sua fedeltà.

Promise

You better think twice before breaking that promise — or exceeding it.

New research from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business finds that exceeding a promise isn’t viewed any more highly than keeping a promise.

“I think there are two implications to keep in mind, both in our professional and personal lives. First, maintaining good relations with other people does not require a superhuman effort. Do what you promise you’ll do, and people are grateful,” says Nicholas Epley, John Templeton Keller Professor of Behavioral Science at Chicago Booth. “You don’t need to be Superman and go above and beyond your promises in order to be appreciated by other people.

“Second, if you do put in the superhuman effort to do more than you promised, don’t get angry when other people don’t seem to appreciate the extra work you put in. They’re not inherently ungrateful or unappreciative — they’re only human.”

Come perdere un cliente in 10 giorni

NOTA AICEX: la maggior parte delle aziende stanno, consciamente o meno, sabotando le loro relazioni con i clienti. Questi ultimi sono esacerbati e stanchi di sopportare e vogliono essere certi che i loro amici sappiano tutto.

After the popular post I wrote titled 19 Signs Customers Are Just Not That Into You, which sounded an awful lot like the romantic comedy, He’s Just Not That Into You, I was inspired by the title of another rom-com, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, for today’s post.

When we engage with customers (or, when they engage with us), we are (hopefully) engaging for the long-term, developing a relationship. Some folks question the use of the term “relationship,” but let’s just use Merriam-Webster’s definition: the way in which two or more people, groups, countries, etc., talk to, behave toward, and deal with each other; the way in which two or more people or things are connected.

That connection is what I’m referring to. We want to connect with our customers, not just transact with them. Relationships take time and work, every day; the focus and the desire to keep the relationship alive and strong should never stop because, when it does, the relationship will end. The connection is gone.

My 19 Signs post was more about how customers were not showing their love to brands anymore. In this post, the focus is on companies and the things they are knowingly or unknowingly doing to sabotage their customer relationships..

Fissare gli obiettivi di Customer Loyalty

su da Gian Carlo Mocciin CRM, Customer Service, Marketing, LoyaltyLascia un commento

Nota Aicex: usare le customer survey non significa automaticamente migliorare i KPI di soddisfazione dei clienti. Non solo gli obiettivi devono essere specifici e misurabili, ma il tutto deve essere programmato in un’ottica di Customer Experience.

All companies who use customer loyalty surveys strive to see increases in their customer loyalty scores. Improving customer loyalty has been shown to have a positive impact on business results and long-term business success. Toward that end, executives implement various company-wide improvements in hopes that improvements in customer loyalty scores will follow.

One common method for improving performance is goal setting. There is a plethora of research on the effectiveness of goal setting in improving performance. In the area of customer satisfaction, what typically occurs is that management sees that their customer loyalty score is 7.0 (on a 0-10 scale) at the start of the year. They then set a customer loyalty goal of 8.0 for the end of the fiscal year. What happens at the end of the year? The score remains about 7.0. While their intentions are good, management does not see the increases in loyalty scores that they set out to attain. What went wrong? How can this company effectively use goal setting to improve their customer loyalty scores?
