September 19: Forrester’s research shows that nearly 95% of leaders believe that providing a good customer experience is a top strategic priority.
No matter what business you are in, the key is to understand your customer. That is, getting in their shoes and seeing things from their perspective!
But the main question in the frame here is, “What do you need to do to stay mostly in your customer’s good graces?
Today, determining how to retain customers is a difficult task. But amidst so many players already hitting the market, people want different things at different times, and sometimes, through different channels.
Considering that, you might think it’s difficult to make broad assumptions about these two things –
● What common things do all customers want?
● If not the cheapest prices, what else is it that they truly desire?
Well, not anymore. We have simplified it for you. Here are the Top 3 Ways to Retain Customers:
- Being Heard and Known
Today’s consumers are more vocal than ever. They want to be heard, and this is what businesses need to understand. If we see things from the consumers’ perspective, it would be impractical to expect them to stay loyal to a product or service they do not feel connected to.
Ask yourself, will you ever go back to a product or service that was not tailored according to your needs and expectations? A company that does not pay any attention to what the customer wants?
So boss, the rule here is simple – “When allowed to share, customers will care. Let your customers realize their active participation in the service experience, put their “skin in the game”, and see their loyalty skyrocketing.
Moving ahead, here is another possible concern you may face – How to initiate or make it possible?
The answer lies in putting in place several tools for gathering customer intelligence.
Yes, a simple “Could you please tell us how we can improve our service to you?” can have a significant impact on your customer relationship. Simply taking their feedback and suggestions is a great step toward customer retention.
2. Reliable Customer Service Matters!
As much as your product or service quality matters so does a reliable customer service system. Your customers want to know that they are a priority and that they will get quick assistance if they have a problem without having to explain their problems repeatedly.
Simply having a customer service line to answer customer questions, especially when every call must go through a very typical IVR, is practically a no-no.
However, one of the most common mistakes businesses make when dealing with customers is being unavailable for an extended period and sending no response emails. This is a huge disappointment.
Instead of this, it is recommended to communicate the status of the service available to them. A few examples include –
● “We’re currently unavailable. If it is something urgent, call Xyz or text Xyz.”
● “Drop a message here, and we will get back to you.”
3. Personalization is the key!
Did you know that approximately 50% of consumers ignore non-personalized communications? Moreover, 79% of consumers believe that personalized service is more important than personalized marketing.
We are all the main characters in our lives. If that is so, why shouldn’t your customers be treated as such?
To be honest, customers no longer pay attention to generic things because of constant media consumption. Any hint of personalization in product placement or email is much more likely to elicit a positive response than generic ones.
