Customer Centricity is everything! 

Great brands operate on the foundation of a Customer Experience built around the customer, but that remains unique and exceeds expectations, every time. When the customer is the focus of your business decisions, you will reach a high level of brand loyalty—your customers become passionate advocates of your products or services, without you even asking.

Four building blocks for a Customer Centricity Strategy

A comprehensive Customer Centricity Strategy is the foundation of a successful Customer Experience. Four building blocks are all you need to become a truly customer-centric business. Using these blocks enables you to understand and overcome commercial challenges and adapt to disruption and rapidly changing customer-needs and expectations.

These complementary building blocks are easy to implement. They trigger the involvement and support of all key internal stakeholders and enable you to improve your level of service and product quality.

Customer Experience and Customer Journey

By reviewing all the interactions or ‘touch-points’ of customers of your company, I measure and analyse their experience. Which elements are positive or need improvement? I determine how you can increase satisfaction and customer loyalty and make sure your service levels and performance are ‘radically consistent’ across all touch-points.

Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty Surveys

Customer feedback from regular surveys is incredibly important and valuable. It improves the understanding of your customer and their pain-points and level of loyalty.

Customer Advisory Board Program

When you get together with your largest and most strategic customers in a Customer Advisory Board on a regular basis you turn your customers into your advisers, a very powerful instrument!

Strategic Client Relationship Plans and CRM software

It is important that your account management teams are informed and organised in their communication and actions with customers. A Strategic Client Relationship Plan, often combined with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, provides you the most important real-time customer data.
