Deliver a Better Customer
Experience or We Will Go
Elsewhere…
The
recent RightNow survey found that 61 percent of New
Zealanders removed their business from companies whose
service didn’t meet their expectations.
Business
must understand that due to the incredible amount of choice
customers now have in an increasingly commoditised market,
delivering an ordinary customer experience will result in
increased costs as customers look for a better experience
according to Chris Bell Managing Director of Customer
Experiences a company that specialises in the evaluation and
development of high quality customer experiences and
founding Director of CEMNZ www.customerexperience.co.nz a
professional body dedicated to promoting, encouraging and
supporting excellence in customer care.
Bell has
identified a lack of customer experience development
expertise as the key reason customers are not receiving
better service and experiences.
There is no lack of
understanding in business as to the benefits of delivering a
consistent high quality customer experience according to
Bell the frustration from both customers and front-line
employees is coming from the lack of action to addresses
this vital area of business performance.
To improve
business knowledge and expertise in this vital area Bell has
developed a unique two day programme called Customer
Experience Development (CED) www.customerexperiences.co.nz designed
to give customer experience managers the methodology and
skills to put in place a long-term customer experience
strategy.
Bell said the 3 stage programme will be
available via both public and in-house workshops and
includes on-going support as participants work through the
development process.
Research confirms that companies
that provide exceptional service have a strong competitive
advantage. Customers are prepared to pay higher prices, make
additional purchases, are more loyal and recommend the
business to others. All of this can be worth millions of
dollars to the local economy.
Exceptional service is harder to attain than ever before. Current research shows that customers expect better service from the companies they deal with yet overwhelmingly believe they are getting service that is no better, or even worse. This leaves customers feeling underserved, resentful and angry and businesses blaming the economy for their poor financial results.
Of course, organisations that understand this
see a huge opportunity and are taking advantage of it by
developing a quality customer experience that stands them
out from competitors and gives them a sustainable
competitive
advantage.
