Customer Focus, Customer
Performance, and Profit Impact

Unit 1. Building a
Customer-Focused
Organization

In this section we will look at how customer-focused


organizations not only outperform their competition over
the long term by consistently delivering higher levels of
customer satisfaction, they also realize higher profits
over the short run.

Underwhelming Customers

Little or no customer focus translates into an unfocused competitive position and


minimal customer satisfaction. The result is a vicious circle of poor performance.

Copyright Roger J. Best, 2012


Top Performers Produce Higher
Investor Returns

Apple, Southwest Airlines, and Clorox would be a part of the top performers in the
graph above. Their average stock price index started at 100 and 10 years later
was 300. Poor performers started at 100 and 10 years later were still at 100.

Measuring Customer

In this section we will look at how companies that use


customer performance metrics are able to identify their
unprofitable customers. For any business, knowing which
customers not to attract is just as important as knowing
which customers to attract.

Customer Satisfaction – Wide-Angle View Chapter 1

De-averaging CSI provides a wide-angle view of customer satisfaction and allows


managers to see more completely the opportunities for improvement.

Marketing
Profit Impact of Very Satisfied Customers Performance
Tool 1.1

De-averaging CSI is critical to understanding customer profitability

“Very satisfied” customers not only buy more, they often buy
higher-margin products and services, which results in a
higher percent margin on total sales.

Profitability of Satisfied Customers Chapter 1

When we chart customer profitability against customer satisfaction,


we see that the “very satisfied” customers are the ones who
drive profitability.

Complaint Behavior and Retention Performance
Tool 1.2

Dissatisfied customers often do not complain, but they do walk and they do talk.

Each year, the business above loses 22,400 customers who are
dissatisfied, but do not complain.

Customer Dissatisfaction and MBM6
the Use of Social Media Chapter 1

Facebook as an Outlet for Customer Dissatisfaction


An individual’s car was towed despite being legally parked with a
valid parking sticker. The individual created a Facebook page to
express his dissatisfaction with the towing company.

More than 10,000 supporters, some using other social media, also
expressed their dissatisfaction with the towing company.

Many related their own bad experiences, and 20 formal


complaints were filed over a 3-year period as a result .

MBM6
Assessing Customer Loyalty Chapter 1

Loyal customers have a long customer history, buy at an above-average


purchase amount, have a high desire to repurchase, have strong product
preferences for the company’s products and would recommend the company’s
products to friends, relatives, and co-workers.

Copyright Roger J. Best, 2012


MBM6
Managing Customer Loyalty Chapter 1

Loyal Customers – High performance in all five aspects of customer loyalty


Repeat Customers – Great customers that buy often but score lower on purchase
amount, product preference, and customer recommendation.
Captive Customers – Have a long customer history and average purchase amount but
would leave if they could, as they are dissatisfied captive customers.
New Customers – Score low on all aspects of customer loyalty as they do not yet
have the customer history to assess their customer loyalty.
Unprofitable Customers – Score low on all aspects of customer loyalty.
