Customers are fundamental to your business!

Customer focus - for survival

To remain in business in the long run, a supplier must retain a loyal and satisfied customer base. To ensure that customer satisfaction levels are maintained and improved, the organisation must focus on meeting real customer needs and expectations whilst developing its business strategy. Customer feedback, which can be obtained in many ways, is therefore an essential input to the business planning process.

Customer Satisfaction Measurement Surveys

Measure the customer's perception of how well the supplier is performing against expectations. Properly conducted, surveys provide crucial feedback to enable the supplier to improve its service and hence be more likely to secure future business.
The survey process consists of establishing the questions to be asked, carrying out the survey, analysing the results, identifying and prioritising the improvements desirable for action planning and implementation. The process is then repeated to confirm that customer perception has improved, thus closing the process management loop. Changing market trends and product development requirements can also be identified.
It is more difficult to win new customers than it is to retain existing ones - at least seven times more in terms of time, effort and money. Lost customers require new business effort in order to sustain market share. Retaining customers improves sales productivity, allowing new business effort to grow market share, revenue and profit.
