"And what does that cost?" ... a good question. Yet we might be better off asking what it delivers. It all sounds so nice, putting the customer first, customer work or be there for your customers but would we all do that if it didn't actually accomplish anything? Is it hype where we all shout around the loudest that we "take customers seriously"? I don't think so. I think customer-centricity is a new business model, a model to differentiate yourself more long term. I think customer-centricity is a valuable addition, possibly even to a large extent replacement, to the traditional marketing Ps.
How much of an organization's resources with direct customer contact go into fixing what goes wrong elsewhere in the organization? From our investigations reveals time and again that between 50% and 70% of all calls that take place in a customer contact center are about issues that could have been avoided. You read that correctly yes, 50% to 70%. In a nutshell, these are calls that originate in a business process that is not aligned with the customer experience. The customer doesn't understand something, something is unclear, a mistake has been made. A significant portion of these conversations can be avoided by asking your customer, "Dear customer, how could we have avoided this lack of clarity with you?" By doing this on an ongoing basis, you can improve the processes that cause avoidable customer contact based on the input your customers provide.
"But customer contact is valuable, right? Not always. A conversation in which a customer asks a question about an invoice because he doesn't understand the invoice is not valuable. So if you're asking yourself, "What does customer-centricity provide?" it lowers your costs, among other things.
Customer-oriented work reduces your costs because you avoid conversations that have no value (revenue, intelligence, feedback). So you can save on your staffing, or you can use your staffing for other things.
At the point when processes are more designed for positive customer experience customer satisfaction will increase. To pick up on an incorrect invoice, a customer does not like having to call about it either. The moment these things are no longer necessary, a customer will evaluate the service more positively. There are many discussions about the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. In my opinion it is very simple, if you are satisfied with the service, you are more likely to stay as a customer or buy additional products/services than if you are very dissatisfied.
Net promoter score, you know it because it's hot. Do you often tell people at parties that you are so incredibly satisfied with your energy supplier? Do you talk to your acquaintances about the conversation you had with your bank the other day? I don't, at least not when I call about an incorrect bill, communicating a change or the like. However, I do so the moment my expectation is exceeded. If I expect a certain solution before I call and the solution offered is better, I feel that the organization knows what customers expect and they apply it. After such a conversation, I am more loyal than when I have a conversation about an incorrect invoice. This customer-oriented way of working ensures that if I am satisfied and at the time when something similar is discussed in my peer groups I am therefore a promoter.
