VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN INSIGHT AND ACTION Most organisations research their customer experience. Many do an excellent job, with regular, in-depth insight fed back to appropriate people within the organisation. Even so, a lot of those organisations find it hard to improve customer perceptions. Why? Are customer views fundamentally divorced from the reality of day to day product or service quality? No, the reality is that changing customer perceptions is simply very hard, even if you have good insight into the drivers of customer satisfaction and loyalty. In this briefing we’ll review some tried and tested techniques that have been effective in helping organisations to bridge this gap between insight and action. The briefing includes: • • • • • • •

Do you know how capable processes are? • Emotion – how does interacting with your brand make customers feel? Are colleagues empathetic towards customers? • Advocacy – are colleagues and customers advocates of your brand?

B2B CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WORKSHOP Business to business customer research is different. Most customer research is based on the consumer experience. Most consumer experiences involve simple and short term transactional relationships unless something goes wrong. In contrast B2B relationships are usually complex, longer lasting and require a deeper involvement and understanding between the organisations. Assessing your performance in this often highly competitive environment requires a very different approach. This briefing reveals the vital points to consider when assessing your effectiveness in these relationships, which ultimately determine your success as a business. The briefing includes: Dates • • • • •

SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING OUT-SOURCED SERVICES WITH CSAT AND NPS Companies often need to outsource whether it’s a call centre for service or sales, IT support, a repairer network, couriers or value added products. Customers do not differentiate between you and your third party suppliers so managing outsourced services is vital. Your customers’ loyalty is greatly influenced by the experience they receive from the third party. This briefing draws on our experience of implementing Service Level Agreements (SLAs), target setting and rewards to get the best from your suppliers. We will share what has worked in other organisations and how you can increase overall satisfaction without incurring extra costs. The briefing includes: Dates • Setting a fair SLA for your outsourcer/contractor • A third party’s impact on overall satisfaction and loyalty? 25 March • Measuring the things that will drive the right behaviour? • Measure the experience they can influence? 09:15 - 12:30 • Designing the soft launch and appeals process • Setting targets to reward great performance £155 (ex VAT) • The financial penalties for poor performance • Sharing and tracking the results with your outsourcer/contractor • The win/win scenario

BEST PRACTICE COMPLAINT HANDLING This session is valuable for those creating or reviewing their organisation’s problem and complaint handling procedures. When a customer has a problem or makes a complaint, the way your organisation deals with this can have a strong and long lasting impact on how they feel and the way they behave. This affects customer loyalty, your reputation and bottom line. It’s no accident that complaint handling has become an area of focus for many organisations over recent years – it is vitally important to do this well. This briefing explores why having an effective process in place is important and what needs to be considered to ensure your complaint handling doesn’t let you down. The briefing includes: • • • •
The good, the bad and the ugly in complaint handling Why the way you handle complaints matters How the way a complaint is handled affects customers The cost of handling complaints

MEASURING THE TRUE OMNI-CHANNEL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Don’t research channels in isolation. The omni-channel consumer wants to use all channels simultaneously. It’s not unusual for customers to start their experience online and end it on the phone within one transaction. Customers expect a seamless experience; they do not always use channels one at a time. Measuring the customer experience includes the experience and level of switching between channels within single transactions and generally. To put customers at the heart of an omni-channel strategy understanding the movement between channels is important. It’s unlikely that one customer segment will only use one channel. This briefing does not give advice on how to design your service delivery experience, but focuses on how and what you measure to get clear insights in to omni-channel customer experience research. The briefing includes: • • • • • •
