In a recession customer retention is even more vital than usual. Companies are clamouring to increase revenue and save costs, but how can this be done?
Colin Shaw, International bestselling author and customer experience guru, will demonstrate how you can focus on the areas of a customer experience that provide the greatest value and thus enables organisations to use their resources to the greatest effect. Colin will also introduce the new area of the 'subconscious experience' that drives customer behaviour and how the understanding of this experience can save costs. In one case study of an Insurance company, they reduced the call backs to their call centre from 75% to 6% in three weeks using this new thinking.
During this presentation you'll learn:
:: How to improve customer retention
:: How to focus on the parts of the customer experience that drive the most value
:: How to build an emotionally engaging customer experience
:: The new area of the subconscious experience
:: How to cut costs through this new thinking

Customer requirements are changing – in addition to becoming more web savvy overall preferences are migrating to web self-service models. While there’s an urgency premium associated with the phone, the reality is the customers marginally prefer the phone over web self-service Even in urgent situations, customers appear to trust the information they receive on-line and trust that ultimate resolution will occur Customer preference for the phone over self service occurs with end users 51+ years in age Web self service extends well beyond the X’ers and Millennial generations Net-net the challenge isn't getting your customers to the web – it’s keeping them there.
