Topic • How CRM can be enhanced through Customer Experience Management (CEM) • Discussion goals: • Provide landscape overview • Provide awareness of issues and potential approaches
Market Forces Leading Clients to CEM • 50% churn of customer base every 5 years • Cost of new customer acquisition is much larger than retention • No clear understanding of “wallet share” and customer profiles • Competition is driving the need to reduce costs and improve customer experience • Consumers are savvier • Multiple channels to reach the customer, with no clear measurements or integration between silos • Small percentage of customer base contributes to profitability • Brand impact of bad customer experience
What is CRM? • Forrester defines CRM to be the set of processes and supporting technologies used to acquire, retain, and enhance customer relationships
What is CRM? • CustomerThink Corp defines CRM as a business strategy to select and manage the most valuable customer relationships. CRM requires a customer-centric business philosophy and culture to support effective marketing, sales, and service processes. CRM applications can enable effective customer relationship management, provided that an enterprise has the right leadership, strategy, and culture.
What is CRM? • Enables a corporation to: • Acquire, maintain, enhance customer relationships • Not just a software solution • Desired outcomes must be determined • Clear processes, measures and goals • Requires IT enablement
What is CEM? • Walker Information defines CEM as applying technology and the storage of customer information to improve the customer's service experiences with the company • Jeff Marr defines CEM as applying customer perceptions, technology and the storage of customer information to improve customers' service experiences and their ultimate loyalty to the company
What is CEM? • A “win-win” for your company and the customer • In general terms: • CRM is about collecting purchase and profile data for the purposes of marketing or cross-selling • CEM is about improving the service experience of the customer
What is CEM? • Define measures from your customer’s perspective • How to gather data? Ask your customer! • Close the loop through customer feedback • Measure a customer’s experience
Examples of data and simple solutions • Gathering wait times, or perception of wait times, at a bank branch at lunch • If too long, increase staffing over lunch hour • Old hotel, elevator example
The benefits of CEM / CRM • By understanding your customer experience: • Increase loyalty • Improve experience • Retain customers (reduce acquisition costs) • Increase market share • By understanding your customer relationship: • Increase profitability of current relationships • Acquire new customers • Reduce customer interaction costs (targeting) • Leverage offerings across channels • Increase market share
The benefits of CEM / CRM • You define! • Measure what is important to you • Plan for what you can afford to implement

CEM Best Practices • Integrated • Customer perceptions, service activities, purchase behavior are consolidated • Data spans all touch points • Phone center, email, the web site or a visit to the branch office • Data spans all stages • Prospect, new customer, recent purchase, loyal customer • Loyalty-linked • Analyze what transactions impact loyalty the most; good or bad
CEM Best Practices • Frequency-managed • Beware over-surveying of individual customer contacts • Diagnostic and performance-measurable • Short surveys track operational performance but also diagnose how to make it better • Accessible • Info available in real time • Available for use by sales, operations, help desk, etc… • Continuous Improvement • Info is being used to make improvements by sales, operations, help desk, etc… • Have accountability (and responsibility), to management for doing so
