"Most companies assume they’re consistently giving customers what they want. Usually, they’re kidding themselves. When we recently surveyed 362 firms, we found that 80% believed they delivered a “superior experience” to their customers. But when we then asked customers about their own perceptions, we heard a very different story. They said that only 8% of companies were really delivering."
.
Qual a alternativa?)
.
"Why does this “delivery gap” exist at so many companies? It’s not because business leaders fail to recognize the importance of their customers. In fact, more than 95% of management teams we’ve surveyed claim to be customer focused. We’ve found that the delivery gap exists for two fundamental reasons.
.
The first is a basic paradox in business: Most growth initiatives damage the most important source of sustainable growth — a loyal, profitable customer franchise. When a business tries to increase its revenue per customer, it tends to do things, like raising transaction fees, that end up alienating its core group of buyers. It compounds the problem when it tries to expand its customer base, as pursuing new customers distracts management from serving the all-important core. (Moi ici: Dêem-se as voltas que se derem... voltamos sempre ao alicerce, à pedra angular: Quem são os clientes-alvo? E à frase "Profit is Sanity, Volume is Vanity")
...
The second reason the delivery gap exists is that good relationships are hard to build. It’s extremely difficult to understand what customers really want, keep the promises you make to them and maintain the right dialogue to ensure that you adjust your propositions according to customers’ changing or increasing needs. And it’s only going to get harder." (Moi ici: Qual é a abordagem que proponho? Quem são os clientes-alvo? O que é que eles realmente querem? Eles não querem o que o fornecedor oferece, eles querem uma experiência nas suas vidas. Quais são as experiências que eles procuram e valorizam? Qual é a proposta de valor que lhes vamos oferecer? E só depois chegar ao como: Qual o mosaico de actividades e investimentos necessários para concretizar essa proposta?)
...
"In our research, we’ve found that
- only 50% of management teams tailor their products and services to the needs of customers; (Moi ici: Quando se quer servir toda a gente... não se serve verdadeiramente ninguém)
- only 30% organize the functions of their company to deliver superior customer experiences; (Moi ici: Continuamos pregados aos atributos do que se vende e não nos concentramos na experiência na vida do cliente durante o uso que faz do nosso serviço)
- only 30% maintain effective customer feedback loops.
...
O que fazem aqueles 8% que realmente "entregam"?
.
"They focus, above all else, on treating their most profitable customers in ways that ensure that they come back for more and recommend the company’s products and services to their friends. These companies
know exactly what their customer issues are at all times.
...
Unlike most companies, which instinctively turn to product or service design to improve customer satisfaction, the Achievers pursue three imperatives simultaneously. We call them the “Three D’s”: They design the right propositions for the right customers. They deliver those propositions at the lowest possible system cost. And they develop the institutional capabilities required to do it again and again."
