CRM 2.0 – A Definition Customer Relationship Model 2.0 (CRM 2.0) is the advancement of traditional Customer Relationship Management (CRM) caused by the rise of the Social Web (Web 2.0) and the resulting empowerment of consumers. CRM 2.0 will establish a meaningful conversation with customers and thus profoundly change the level of trust on both sides. The result is a fruitful collaboration, co-creation and knowledge sharing community. Customers are becoming real advocates for a product or brand. 21.09.2009Guido Oswald6

  • #40 Few things pay so handsomely as a great experience. 2 companies stand out as harnessing the customer experience for the better. Starbucks and Apple have not only profited from their unique customer-focused brands, but have also set the pace for their respective industries.Starbucks proved that, by providing customers freedom to personalize their coffee order—e.g., a non-fat, decaf, venti mocha latte—by actually calling them by name when said order was ready, and providing a consistent, Wi-Fi connected and practically ubiquitous environment to order & enjoy their beverage in, customers—& profits—would follow. In fact, the company took a cup of coffee from commonplace commodity to a premium luxury item that customers today will pay as much as 500% more for. Similarly, Apple started its ascent from virtual extinction by designing its iPod (& other products) from the customer perspective, making it easy for the device to become a centerpiece of personal expression. But then the company went one step farther. It bucked established storefront sales & merchandizing conventions & built its own stores from the ground up, featuring open space, spare product displays, free product support & roving payment-takers. The result? The most profitable storefront in the world. According to Fortune magazine, Apple stores generate $4,032 in sales per square foot each year, while jewelry giant Tiffany & Company sells nearly half that—$2,666 per square foot per year.When we think about SPs, they are in an even better position than companies like Starbucks and Apple to profit from delivering a great experience. SPs are unique in that they have the potential to tap into what their customers want, where their customers are, what they need & how they would like it delivered. But if SPs have this invaluable customer knowledge & insight, why do most struggle to retain their high value customers & grow their market share? What is stopping them from delivering the experiences their customers seek?... Next: Strategy Shift

  • #74 Example from the Telecommunications industry (optional)Not so long ago, SPs operated in well-defined industries & could set themselves apart with lower costs or higher-quality products & servicesBut these days of the communications utilities are now long goneTraditional services have become commoditized, while Web 2.0 & convergence are fundamentally changing the way people use communications. And in turn, have accelerated the move to the digital lifestyle where customers are constantly connected via multiple media - voice, video, text, chat, etc. and believe they should be able to go anywhere, do anything & have their communications & entertainment technologies follow them.In this new era, the value chain has become increasingly fragmented with new device & application vendors as well as web 2.0 environments entering the fold every day & forming equally strong, if not stronger relationships, with the end consumer As a result SPs run the risk of disintermediation in what used to be “their” value chainBut is has also put the consumer in the driver seat. Consumers today are more empowered then ever before & have unlimited choice as to who they form relationships with & where they spend their dollars. As a result of all of these factors, we are seeing an evolution in consumer expectations.Consumers no longer want services they want “experiences” that are uniquely personal to them, that are simple and intuitive, and deliver immediate value.As authority in the value chain shifts to the consumer and their expectations evolve, the value of the experience can not be underestimated…. (transition to next slide)Next: Customer Experience (or Strategy Shift)
  • #78 Operating “Outside-In” Enables the Intentional Customer ExperienceHere we see business processes at the bottom from the service providers view – target & sell, order & fulfill, deliver & assure etc. and at the top the same processes from the customer’s perspective – discover, try and shop, purchase, use, interact create & share, etc. So when the SP is focused on capturing an order, the customer is concerned with having a purchase experience that is simple, convenient & best meets their personal needsThe SP does not measure the customer experience using the same parameters as the customer either. Where a SP in an ordering process is concerned with metrics such as time to order completion and order fallout rates; the customer is measuring her experience by whether or not she was provided purchase options that made her experience simple, personal & delivered immediate valueGiven these disconnects between the SP & customers’ perspectives, it is not surprising that the customer experience is an adhoc & unintended outcome of the SP’s operationsHowever, many SPs recognize the importance of the customer experience, and the need to change they way they operate to become more in-tune with their customers’ needs and expectations. In fact almost every major SP worldwide has initiated transformation plans to some degree that have increasing emphasis on the customer experience. Next: Technology
