This document discusses strategies for retaining international internship (TN) clients and increasing CLO (Customer Lifecycle Optimization). It finds that clients value intern quality and communication. The selection process and communication are areas of dissatisfaction. Standardizing matching and assigning account managers to regularly meet with clients could help retain more of them. Understanding clients' needs through a Job Questionnaire and tracking the matching process and account management are also recommended. Goals, timelines, and certification are suggested for CLO implementation at the local committee level.
2. Why don’t we retain TN-Takers?
We don’t focus
on it
We don’t deliver our
service well
We don’t
allocate talent
capacity to do it
3. What big contracts have come from CLO?
Poland 10 TNs – “We worked with the TN-taker fast and professionally”
Brazil 5 TNs – “Because they were extremely satisfied with their previous intern”
Romania 30 TNs – “Trust between the CEO and AIESEC, based on our past
professionalism”
France 10 TNs – “We were professional and flexible in the process”
Greece 25 TNs – “We delivered what we promised. We were professional and fast,
so they keep coming to us.”
Belgium 35 TNs – “They re-raised because they were satisfied with our service”
Belgium 10 TNs – “We had multiple internal champions who had received trainees in
the past who gave us excellent endorsements”
Russia 6 TNs – “Past interns we provided them stayed and became leaders in the
company, so they actually approached us when they needed more talent for their
new strategy”

7. Conclusions from our customers
The most important thing to TN-takers is the quality of
the EP
TN-Takers aren’t satisfied with our selection process or
communication
We can retain many more customers than we do now
8. How Can We Retain More TN-Takers?
Implement a
fast and
standardized
matching
process
Have account
managers who meet
with TN-takers
regularly
Understand
the company’s
needs through
the JQ
9. Understand the Company’s Needs Through the JQ
Sample JQ:
http://www.myaiesec.net/content/viewfile.do?contentid=10284584
Your JQ should be short and simple
It should reflect your focus sub-products and country partnerships
It should include what the company’s future needs will be
It should help you see what is most important to the company about the
EP and working with AIESEC
The account manager should be using the JQ at every meeting to make
sure they understand the TN-Taker
10. Implement a fast and standardized matching process
Selection process for Tier 1:
http://www.myaiesec.net/content/viewfile.do?contentid=10284589

12. Have account managers who meet with TN-takers regularly
Account Management for Tier 1:

A person who manages the account from contract signing to re-raise, for a minimum of six
months
Responsible for fire-fighting, checking in, quarterly meetings, and transitioning the next
account manager
Goals are always re-raising, referrals, and customer satisfaction
Contact with the TN-Taker every month
A physical meeting every quarter
Account transition every six months
13. How Can We Plan for CLO?
Set goals for raises and re-raises
Allocate a clear account manager for every account and give them
training on how to manage the account and re-raise
Start tracking account management—who is responsible for each
account and how often they are meeting with their partners
14. AIESEC UNITED STATES CLO IMPLEMENTATION
Target specific LCs for CLO implementation
Give LCs a timeline to meet with all partners
NST + MC contact all partners who LCs fail to meet
Collect video testimonials from promoters
Create a referral framework for LCs
Create Account Management Certification for members about visa, delivery
process, partnership management
Legislate that TN-takers have to be met each quarter or the MC can take over the
contract
Detractors and passive TN-takers contacted to collect feedback/apologize
