Customer Retention

Did you know?

Retention 2

It costs 6 times more money to gain a new customer than it does to retain a customer.*
That means that 80% of your Time, Money and Effort should be on the top 20% of your existing business and the customers who make up that business.

 

 

 

 

Retention is the ability to continue doing business with your current customers.

 

Key Points:

  • Your company needs a retention plan and process that is Proactive, Consistent, Informative, Thankful & Visible.
  • Contact should be varied in both method and message. Not all contact should be in the form of selling. Educate. Be their information source. Celebrate. Wish them a happy birthday.
  • Every part of the “customer experience” that you can control should be considered and examined.
  • Always identify and keep in mind those people and things that influence your customer.
  • Take advantage of the “touch points” with your customer. It is vitally important that existing customers have a great customer experience when doing business with your company.
