“It’s Cheaper to Keep ‘Em”

The Vital Role the Contact Center Plays in Customer Retention

Whether you call it customer retention, account management, relationship management, or just staying in touch, developing a strategy to retain customers or clients you have is vital to the success of any business-especially now.  Remember, it's more expensive to acquire a customer than to retain one. Our current economy makes customer retention strategies even more important!

Even though your past customers have already shown they want and like your products or services they are likely going over their budgets carefully looking for alternatives.  And with the pace of technological change and more ways to communicate (blogs, Twitter, Facebook), they're even more likely to be exposed to your competitors.

Your most important asset in the quest to hold on to and grow your best customers is the front line agent.  When customers’ calls are taken, it’s a golden opportunity to build the relationship by consistently creating a positive customer experience.  In today’s world of technology, the importance of how contact center professionals handle each call with efficient, courteous service should not be underestimated.  Additionally, it’s imperative your customers leave the conversation feeling as if they were listened to, heard, respected, appreciated and valued. 

In this session, we’ll explore the role your front line staff plays in protecting the health of customer relationships and the significance of each customer touch to customer retention and business growth. You’ll leave with ideas that will help develop a “Listening System” that helps your staff to recognize and capitalize on opportunities to strengthen the relationship and individualize responses to customer needs and wants.
