It seems that most of the companies that customers love to do business with have something in common. They focus more on the customer than they do the sale. Sure, they want to make the sale, add more revenue and get higher ratings. What company doesn’t want that? But when they focus on the customer’s needs, the rest seems to fall into place. A great example of this comes from Dawn Mushill, one of our Shepard Letter subscribers.

Today, leaders have more expectations with fewer resources. We’re asked to spend more time reporting on what’s happened than making things happen. Time is limited and people are pressured.

If there’s one feeling consumers have grown familiar with in their dealings with the telecom industry, it is – by all accounts – frustration.

“Do you want to SuperSize that?” and “Do you want fries with that?” These lines – uttered with every Mickey D order – are probably the most famous upsell and cross-sell out there. But the days of relying on sales staff to entice customers to re-open their wallets are coming to an end. The rise of new digital engagement channels is making it easier than ever for Customer Service staff to do the (selling) deed, while pushing the CX to the next level.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Improving customer retention can prevent billions of dollars of lost revenue in the insurance industry. Research from CallMiner revealed that avoidable churn costs businesses $136 billion in the U.S. alone.

According to Hubspot, the insurance industry is tied for the third-highest customer acquisition cost at $303.

The traditional approach fails to see things from the perspective of the customer, instead, it takes a company-centric approach, splitting these into multiple journies each handled by a different department; marketing, sales, onboarding, retention.
