Managementskills
Customerrelationshipmanagementfocusesoncommunicationwithcustomers.Thebusinessofthecompanyiscustomer-centricratherthantraditionalproductsorFocusonthemarket.Tofacilitatecommunicationwithcustomers,customerrelationshipmanagementcanprovidecustomerswithmultiplecommunicationchannels.Customersincludebotholdandnewcustomers,sothefirsttaskofgoodcustomerrelationshipmanagementistonotonlyretainoldcustomers,butalsovigorouslyattractnewcustomers.
Themainmethodsofretainingoldcustomersinclude:
First,providecustomerswithhigh-qualityservices.Thelevelofqualityisrelatedtocorporateprofits,costs,andsales.Everycompanyisactivelyseekingwhatkindofhigh-qualityservicescanbeusedtoretainhigh-qualitycorporatecustomers.Therefore,themostbasicthingtoprovideservicestocustomersistotakeintoaccountthecustomer'sfeelingsandexpectations,fromtheirevaluationofservicesandproductstothequalityofservices.
Second,strictlycontrolproductquality.Productqualityisakeyweaponforcompaniestoprovidecustomerswithfavorableguarantees.Withoutgoodqualitysupport,therapiddevelopmentofenterprisesisaveryremoteproblem.KFC'sserviceisfirst-class,butthereisstilltheSudanRedincident,whichallowsopponentstotakeadvantageofit,resultinginapartiallossofcustomergroups;drugssuchasContecxaminealsohavequalityproblemsandcannotbesoldinthemarket.
Third,toensureefficientandquickexecution.Toretainthecustomerbase,goodstrategyandexecutionareindispensable.Althoughmanycompaniescanprovidecustomerswithgoodstrategies,theyfailbecauseoflackofexecution.Inmostcases,thedifferencebetweenacompanyandacompetitorliesintheexecutioncapabilitiesofbothparties.Iftheopponentdoesbetterthanyou,thenhewillbeaheadinallaspects.Infact,toformulateavaluablestrategy,themanagermustalsoconfirmwhetherthecompanyhassufficientconditionstoexecuteit.Intheimplementation,everythingwillbecomeclear.Inthefaceoffiercemarketcompetition,theroleofmanagersneedstobechanged,fromfocusingonlyonstrategyformulationtoabalancebetweenstrategyandexecution.Behavior-orientedcompanieshavebetterstrategyimplementationcapabilitiesthantheirpeers,andcustomersaremorewillingtodevotethemselvestogrowingwiththecompany.
Thefollowingmethodscanbeusedtoattractnewcustomers:
First,collectalistofcustomersbasedonmarketresearch.
Secondly,toengageinactivitieswiththecompany,youcanparticipateinthelottery,andthencollecttherelevantlist.
Thirdly,developcustomerswhohavesignedorders,providegoodservices,seekreferrals,etc.,inotherwords,developcustomersneedtofindareason,whichisveryimportant.
Retainingoldcustomersandattractingnewcustomersislikehavingthepoweroftwoswords,whichcanmakeitplaythegreatestbrillianceandachievethedesiredgoal.
Approach
PhilipKotlerbelievesthatcustomersatisfactionreferstoaperson’sperceptionofaproduct’seffects(orresults)andThestateoffeelingofpleasureordisappointmentformedaftercomparinghisorherexpectations.Accordingtothedefinitionofcustomersatisfaction,customersatisfactionisthegapbetweencustomers'expectationsofproductsandservicesandtheeffectsofcustomers'perceptionsofproductsandservices.Therefore,fromthedefinitionofcustomersatisfaction,weknowthatthefactorsthataffectcustomersatisfactionarecustomerexpectationsandcustomerperceivedvalue,andcustomerperceivedvaluedependsonthedifferencebetweencustomerperceptionandcustomerperception.Therefore,thelogicofimprovingcustomersatisfactionis:managecustomerexpectations,increasecustomerperceptiongains,andreducecustomerperceptionlosses.
Themanagementofcustomerexpectationshasthefollowingconsiderations:
1.Increasingexpectationswillhelpattractcustomerstobuy.
2.Expectationsaresettoolow,customersatisfactionishigh,butsalesaresmall.
3.Theexpectationsaresettoohigh,customersatisfactionislow,andcustomersrepeatpurchaseslessfrequently.Therefore,companiesshouldguidecustomerexpectationsasappropriate.
Therearethefollowingwaystoincreasetheperceivedvalueofcustomers:
1.Increasetheperceivedincomeofcustomers.
2.Reducecustomerperceptionloss.
3.Itnotonlyincreasescustomerperceptiongains,butalsoreducescustomerperceptionlosses.
