CUSTOMER VALUE ANALYSIS
Why do customers buy from you vs. the competition? Our
quantitative and qualitative research provides insight
into the relative importance of the drivers of customer
value and specific competitive comparisons for each of
the value drivers.
Our processes focus on the prospective intentions of
customers. This forward looking
process defines the primary benefits customers receive
and the future expectations they have regarding performance.
Besides knowing what needs to be improved, you will know
how much improvement is necessary for market recognition.
Our Customer Value Analysis models give a complete picture
of what drives the purchase and repurchase intentions
of customers. As part of our analysis, we will segment
your customers and your competitor’s customers based
on the relative importance they place on the value drivers.
As part of your report, we will provide specific recommendations
that can be incorporated into sales and marketing plans,
pricing policies, sales training and corporate strategic
plans.
A professionally designed Customer Satisfaction
Measurement and Management System will provide:
- Analysis of the relative importance of the satisfaction/performance
factors of current, potential and competitor accounts.
- Analysis of your Price/Value Relationship and comparisons
with your competition.
- Comparisons of your distinctive competence to that
of your competitors … in short, why do they buy
from you and why do they buy from your competitors?
- Determination of potential improvements (and by how
much) to assure that you are meeting customer expectations
and performing better than the competition. This information
is presented by evaluating your Key Performance Indicators
and showing how much improvement is required.
- Statistically valid response rates that assure confident
decision-making.
- Identification of the buying criteria used either
to select a new supplier or to renew and expand the
relationship with a current supplier.
- Clear and precise comparisons of your performance
and your competitor’s performance.
Our approach surpasses other methods of measuring customer
satisfaction. Our survey methods and tools permit not
only an assessment of customer satisfaction with you and
your competitors, but also detailed customer value analysis.
Your assessment report will provide your management
team with:
- The relative importance of the drivers of customer
satisfaction and loyalty. How drivers, other than
price, influence the buying decisions of your customers
and your competitor’s customers.
- Comprehensive information on your performance as
well as your competitor’s
performance for each of the drivers of customer satisfaction
and loyalty.
- Specific recommendations on what to improve and
by how much. Our models identify the required level
of performance needed in order to improve customer
satisfaction and establish your distinctive competence
in the market.
- The results of the quantitative analysis are presented
with Action Items providing detailed recommendations
to increase customer satisfaction, loyalty and sales.
Using an executive session and follow-up work sessions,
we will help you create a Balanced Scorecard that includes
your specific predictors of customer satisfaction, supply
chain performance and measures of overall operational
and financial effectiveness.
