  25. 25. The best experience isn’t necessarily the most luxurious › Basic brands that consistently meet or exceed customers’ expectations score well I am a dm girl myself. I think it's because the prices are cheap (cheapest among German drugstores I believe) but the shops are lovely. All tidy and bright so you never have the feeling you're in a "scruffy" cheap shop © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 25
  26. 26. Brands can break free of their industry for a competitive advantage › Although firms in the same industry often group together in a small range of CXi scores, some brands manage to break free of their peers › ING DiBa in Germany achieved an excellent score. I found a customer who was keen to tell me about her experience: We just got our mortgage there. Easy procedures and really competent and quick customer service. © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc.

  27. 27. Banks can’t price their way out of way out of the business impact of a bad CX › Forrester found that, for US consumers, CX trumps price-value perception as a loyalty driver for banks and retailers › Old school marketing and incentives won’t mask a mediocre experience © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc. Reproduction Prohibited 27
  28. 28. French banks vie for usefulness, ease, and enjoyability › In the race between La Banque Postale (73) and Crédit Mutuel (71): • La Banque Postale is rated as better for meeting customers’ needs and being easy • But Crédit Mutuel (―la banque a qui parler‖) is rated more enjoyable • Crédit Mutuel also fares better with high income consumers and technology optimists … both desirable segments © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc.

  35. 35. Recommendations › Start to measure your company’s CXi • Both overall (brand health) and in specific channels and interactions (transactional) • Find your gaps and opportunities to improve › Identify the drivers of CX quality • Identify the causes of good and bad experiences • Build a hypothesis – then measure the statistical relationship between your driver questions and the three criteria that make up the CXi › Make CXi part of the daily vocabulary at all levels of your organization © 2013 Forrester Research, Inc.

  • Image source:project50k.co.ukautoracesponsor.co.ukJessica Ennis, Rory McIlroy, Jenson ButtonIn a US study, Forrester tested the relationship between customers' perceptions of their experience, their perceptions of price-value, and their loyalty. Our research showed that – for US consumers – customer experience trumps price-value perception as a loyalty driver for banks and retailers. See the May 1, 2013 “Banks And Retailers: You Cannot Price Your Way Out Of Bad Customer Experiences,” report. [94322]
  • It’s a tight race between La BanquePostale and CréditMutuel. The two French banks top their industry with scores of 73 and 71 respectively. While La BanquePostale leads the way on being useful and easy, CréditMutuel fares better with high income consumers and technology optimists. CréditMutuel also earns a slightly higher score for being enjoyable to do business with. That’s not surprising. The bank, which uses the tagline "la banque à qui parler" (the bank to speak to), has built its communication around three messages: customers/members can take part in decision-making; personal bankers are not paid on a commission basis; and local branches can decide whether or not to approve customers' applications for credit. Several French banks have put a clear emphasis on customer advocacy in their recent marketing campaigns. CréditMutuel, for instance, uses the tagline "la banque à qui parler" (the bank to speak to). It has built its communication around three messages: customers/members can take part in decision-making; personal bankers are not paid on a commission basis; and local branches can decide whether or not to approve customers' applications for credit. BanquePopulaire has worked to improve service levels, in particular by providing quick responses to inquiries and transparent information to its customers. (see endnote 7) The effort has paid off, as CréditMutuel improved its customer advocacy score from 28% to 34% and BanquePopulaire from 23% to 33%. See the February 23, 2012 “Customer Advocacy 2011: How Customers Rate European Banks,” report. (E-RES61150)
