Why CDCE? Because in Customer Service, Customer Loyalty and Building Relationships Are Most Important
The importance of customer loyalty in the success of a business cannot be understated. We’re all familiar with the statistic that acquiring a new customer can cost a company five times more than retaining an existing customer. If this is true, then customer loyalty has a direct effect on your company’s bottom-line—the longer your customers stick around, the less money your company will have to expend. So how do you create a loyal customer base? Research says that 93% of customers are more likely to repeat a purchase with a company who has excellent customer service. So, the answer for creating a loyal customer base is to demonstrate excellence on your customer service teams!
This is not to say that prospecting for new business should be ignored. Generating new customers is still necessary if your business is to grow! What this means, rather, is that you must not sacrifice the relationships you have with your existing customers to the pursuit of finding new business. Keeping your existing customers happy should always be your focus, even when you are prospecting for new business. If you neglect the relationships you have with existing customers, you increase the likelihood that your customer will leave you for your competitor, or even burn your business with negative feedback.
An additional consideration when it comes to building relationships is the idea of an internal customer. Yes, customer service teams frequently work with external customers—customers that your company does business with—but what about co-workers? Customer service representatives work with others in their same role, and with professionals in other departments within their organization. In a sense, these are internal customers. In order for your customer service team to demonstrate customer service excellence that grows your business, they must learn how to build relationships with both external and internal customers!
Customer Service Teams Should Build Meaningful Relationships with Both Internal and External Customers
If it’s more expensive to acquire new customers than it is to retain existing customers, then it’s imperative that customer service teams have the skills necessary to keep customers around for the long-term. Customer service teams must demonstrate proper relationship nurturing skills and add value to each and every customer interaction. True value can only be created when you understand not only what the customer needs, but why they need it.
