Companies have for many years espoused the mantra that exceptional Customer Service is the defining driver behind the health and wealth of their businesses, but few committed to it. This mantra has become even more pertinent since the tipping point in the mid 90s when the Internet discontinuity age arrived. This event gave the customer knowledge at a level as never before and which could allow them to know as much, if not more about the company, products and services than its representative. This new sophisticated and potentially fickle customer has made customer churn a pressing concern for businesses and has elevated Customer Management into THE hot topic category for every company.
Traditionally, companies competed by differentiation through product, service or price. After this tipping point the sales and marketing world was turned on its head by the customer’s ability to access information and control the sales cycle with the introduction of self service channels, most noticeably the Internet. We are now in a more commoditised environment. Companies’ future growth, or even survival, will largely depend on providing differentiated Customer Experience.
Customer Management is about companies effectively managing and co-ordinating customer interactions across channels, departments, lines of business and geographies to maximise the value of every customer interaction and provide a unique customer experience. When operated efficiently and effectively, Customer Management contributes directly to shareholder value.
A key objective of the Customer Management team is to maximise the value of every customer interaction in order to reduce costs, increase revenue or indeed both.
