If our customer service program offers strong, tactical
solutions to front line employees, our customer loyalty offering
underscores the strategy behind it. Customer loyalty is the convergence
point for brand, customer, and employee. Here we examine the following:
Making a Case for Customer Loyalty:
What is the value of customers who are loyal to the services and
products you offer? Does it matter? Here we make the case for a
long-term approach to customer loyalty in a business world that
must deal daily with short term growth. Does customer loyalty work
in today’s economy?
What is the Service Experience You are Offering?
How do you define yourself in the marketplace in terms of the products
and services you provide? How do you distinguish yourself from the
competition? Are customers seeing the message you deliver?
Being Accountable to the Customer—How
do you get employees on board, much less make them accountable to
the service you render? We look at organizational and employee accountability
and making everyone responsible for delivering great service.
Linking Employee Loyalty to Customer Loyalty—Is
there a link? Does it matter? We suggest that it not only does,
but that no long term customer loyalty program will stick without
it. We look at the realities behind building employee loyalty.
Leading for Customer Loyalty—No
service organization is successful without leaders who drive the
strategy from the top of the organization. Leaders are the drivers
and are vital to building customer loyalty.
