* Acquiring and retaining customers
* Improving customer loyalty
* Gaining customer insight
* Providing information that is relevant, valuable and exclusive
* Implementing customer-focused strategies such as product range and pricing structure
* Allowing elite customers access to products, services and experience otherwise unavailable to the public
* Inviting customer involvement in opportunities such as first access to new products, parties and special events
CRM also enables a company to keep customer information consistent throughout the organisation and makes it available across all touch-points where the company interacts with the customer. Customers in Control - Broadly speaking, Customer Relationship Management comprises of the theoretical analysis and technical processes used to satisfy the equality function of the fundamental economic theory “supply = demand”.
Giving Customers What They Want
Responding to demand requires placing a higher value on customers. Your customer’s needs should come before products, processes, or production. This idea is hardly new; many successful businesses have taken this approach for years. This involves transforming unimportant (less profitable, short-term) customers into highly profitable, long-term business partners.
A true customer-centric approach helps a company drive
* New growth
* Maintain competitive edge
* Attain operational excellence
A highly satisfied customer in turn
* Stays loyal longer
* Buys more new products
* Talks positively about the company
* Is less sensitive to price
* Offers ideas for new product and service to the company
* And costs less to serve than new customers.
