5.4.1.1 IDEAS ’97: The Evolution of Customer Care
http://www.pwcglobal.com/extweb/ncsurvres.nsf/DocID/29AB6C0164A11E9E8525663000707F39?OpenDocument
Though most organizations in North America have taken on the mantra of customer care as their priority, they score low marks despite specific available systems and technology to improve their delivery in this area, according to the seventh annual survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers on Customer Satisfaction
«Most organizations understand the need to invest in customer care technology,» says Stan Brown, author of the report and partner-in-charge of the PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Centre of Excellence in Customer
Satisfaction. «Despite the technology that exists to help companies segment their customers and target their marketing efforts — only 6 per cent of organizations use these concepts effectively.»
«Unfortunately,» added Brown, «many companies often try to implement applications that either don’t meet customer needs or are far too advanced to be practical. Not only do they risk losing their financial investment in the technology itself, they risk losing customers, the lifeline of their business success.»
Problems also stem from the fact that many organizations misdirect their investment and commitment to customer care technology. While virtually all organizations (99%) indicate that they are improving technology to enhance customer satisfaction, 85% use technology for internal command and
control issues, including centralizing and consolidating operations. And, while 84% of companies insist that customer retention is paramount, 55% admit that their customer information retrieval systems need improvement.
IDEAS 97 describes customer care as an evolution divided into three stages (% of respondents):

Therefore, 6 per cent of respondents who have reached the third stage (Customer Asset Management) are not practising it as effectively as they could.

http://www.pwcglobal.com/extweb/ncsurvres.nsf/DocID/050EFCF1B8BD967F85256766006F7F13?OpenDocument
IDEAS ’98 finds 92 per cent of organizations are still in Stage I of the evolution – that is, they are still preoccupied with acquiring customers and grouping their customers according to interests and needs.
The survey report concludes with the «twelve steps to success» – a step-by-step guide that can help you create an action plan for your business.

North American Companies Not Achieving Effective Customer Care, Finds

WORLDWIDE CUSTOMER CARE FROM THE WEB
September 1999 http://www.1to1web.com/cgi-bin/gt/news-9909.html?user=ffffffffffff
Telegyr Systems, provider of standard and semi-custom products to utility customers for the nearly 30 years, had a problem. The exchange of information between the company and its customers in 18 time zones around the world was daunting and time-consuming in the pre-web world. With a small customer and prospect universe, staying close and personal with each customer was critical in the competitive world of operations management for the utility industry. With about 75% of the revenue of Telegyr coming from its existing base, the challenge for the Telegyr marketing team was to find a way to «change the way we do business with our customers». Telegyr wanted to reduce response time, eliminate the distribution of information via diskettes, provide a consistent customer service experience and ultimately strengthen their relationships with their customers. The result is Telegyr’s «Web First» customer care center that brings together typically disparate functions such as customer service, software downloads, sales and project management/implementation into one Web-based application.

«I think we all know that the principles of one-to-one marketing require a great degree of integration at a company. I mean, if I know who you are and you interact and tell me what you want, and then I make it for you that way—that means the back end of my company has to be able to deliver what the front end
learns that you want. And that degree of integration requires a lot of effort on most companies’ part.
«This means you’ve got to break down barriers between sales, and marketing, and customer service, and production. It means you’ve got to rely on the Internet, and call centers, and sales automation. Well, Enterprise 360 is an example of how some companies in applications and technology fields have
come together to offer their customers an integrated solution to this problem of one-to-one marketing
implementation—which requires a very comprehensive approach.»

Landscapers and garden equipment manufacturers know their prime season lasts only a few months, so it’s really important for them to be able to identify and serve their customers accordingly to cultivate relationships and maximize profits during this hectic time.
House & Garden knows each and every one of its 3,000 customers, from the guy whose 10-year-old lawnmower is always breaking down, to the big landscaping companies that thrive in affluent Fairfield County. According to John, if a homeowner came to his store with a last-minute repair request, he or she would most likely have to wait three weeks at this time of year. But, if a major account needs immediate service, the equipment will be fixed pronto. He calls this his «preferential service treatment.» Another word for it is «smart.»
House & Garden uses a CRM solution for everything from point of sale to work orders, ledgers, and inventory. John says that at point of sale, the industry-specific system can create «sets» of products appropriate for cross selling to customers. «If a customer is buying a lawnmower,» John says, «the computer will generate a list of all the options that come with a lawnmower, such as an extended warranty, oil, and extra blades. The computer reminds the salesperson to run through the list of options, which are the profit makers.»

ONLINE SHOPPING NO FUN?

Customer Service On The Internet By Carl G. Kline, MBA
The key to good customer service has always been communication. The power of Web communication is its ability to shorten response time and broaden the forms of customer feedback. If you have an international customer base, you may be interested in looking at a program that allows you to publish, browse and send e-mail in over 30 languages. Internet with an Accent by Accent Worldwide claims that it will do just that (try a demo you can download from their Web site.)
20 Percent of Consumers Have Online Ordering Problems
This article can be found online at:
http://cyberatlas.internet.com/big_picture/demographics/article/0,1323,6061_202481,00.html
In about one-third of the 37 million US households having access to the Internet, lives at least one person who placed an order or made a reservation online from February to April of 1999, according to Dataquest Inc., a unit of the Gartner Group. Of these households, 2.4 million, or 20 percent, experienced problems.
Dataquest research showed that of households experiencing problems, 49 percent reported they placed online orders that did not arrive. Nevertheless, in more than half of these households, the customer was billed for the order. For 25 percent of the households that experienced problems, the main problem was the inability to contact the merchant’s customer service department via e-mail.
Despite some early stumbling on the part of merchants, overall consumer satisfaction with the online purchasing process is quite high, with 88 percent of all respondents giving it a satisfactory rating.
«The primary key to overall consumer satisfaction with online purchasing to date is the ease of placing orders or reservations,» said Dr. Harry Doyle, VP for Dataquest’s Interactive Home: Technology & Infrastructure US program. «Clearly this is critical to the future of e-commerce, for when an online experience is consistently more satisfactory than in the physical world, and at the same or lower price, consumers’ habits are likely to change permanently. But it is crucial to remember there is no second chance to win customer loyalty.»

SOLUTIONS TO HELP YOU WEB-ENABLE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE
September 1999 http://www.1to1web.com/cgi-bin/gt/news-9909.html?user=ffffffffffff
iContact—iContact enables customer care to track visitors as they navigate their site. Then they can proactively engage a visitor when they see them having a problem and prompt a live, text-based conversation. It also allows companies the ability to react to customers’ questions and concerns immediately.
Webline—Webline is a very similar product to iContact. It too allows companies to provide customers with the option of receiving live assistance from a Web site and engaging in rich voice-and-visual interactions with a company representative, or sending an inquiry through email to the company representative best able to address their question or comment. Which means businesses can combine the personal value of human interaction with the information value of their Web sites — and maximize and amplify the benefits of both.
Cisco Systems, the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, is using WebLine within its Worldwide
Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Customers seeking assistance from Cisco’s Connection Online Web site can click on a «Talk to us now» button to request an immediate telephone call or create a live connection to a Cisco TAC representative and establish a link over the Internet using a Web browser interface. As the customer and the TAC representative speak over the Internet, they can co-navigate the Web, share electronic documents and applications and interactively complete shared Web-based forms.
Another system worth noting: eShare allows real-time chat between a customer and your companies service representative. To see it in action, take a look at in use at 1-800-Flowers.com.

The traditional distribution channel for manufacturers is an efficient process for moving goods, but it’s not that efficient for keeping track of exactly who bought what product.
Product registration cards have been packed with practically every type of product for years, but it’s costly for manufactures to manually enter data from product registration cards, which means there may be limited value in building and maintaining the database.
With a Web-based product registration system it’s now much easier to build the database because the
customer does it for you! Here are a few examples of Web-based product registration forms so you can see the types of data these companies are collecting:
- 3COM
- Frontline Test Equipment
- Lowrance Electronics
If you sell through a traditional channel and have been looking for an easy way to build a database of customer purchase data, look at adding an online product registration form to your marketing program.
E-MAIL RESPONSIVENESS IS KEY TO HAPPY NET CUSTOMERS
September 1999 http://www.1to1web.com/cgi-bin/gt/news-9909.html?user=ffffffffffff
Recently, one of your friendly authors sent an e-mail to a large telecom provider with a question regarding an account. The telecom company kindly sent out an automated receipt reply, but more than a month later author has yet to receive an e-mail back regarding the information request. Fortunately for the company I am sticking with them since they give me frequent-flier miles for each long distance telephone call, otherwise…
It is great that we can send one-to-one e-mail messages out to thousands of customers, and that you can
automate responses to many e-mail requests. But when it comes to responding to an individual customer via e-mail, the industry is still floundering. One rule of thumb is to make sure you reply to a customer e-mail within the industry standard of 24-48 hours. Remember to give the customer a periodic status of their request to let them know your are resolving their issue and you have not forgotten about him or her. Also, build a process that handles inquiries automatically as well as handles «exceptions» (which are e-mails that don’t fit into a particular category that is automated), where real live human service representatives handle the e-mail communications with the customer. In order to increase online sales and service by customers, you need to build their confidence that their e-mail is being handled.

USA Today: Web Savvy Teens Slate Online Shopping
http://www.nua.ie/surveys/index.cgi?f=FS&cat_id=47
Sep 13 1999: In a survey of US teenagers’ experience of back to school shopping on the Internet, USA Today found that online shopping can be more frustrating than it is worth. Online marketers need to provide more than daily horoscopes, advice columns and chat rooms to get teenagers to shop at their web sites.
Teens spend an average of USD140 billion per year on retail goods and as such are a hugely attractive audience. This year USD129 million of that will be spent online and in 2003 USD1.2 billion of that will be spent online. Despite the lucrative market potential, online marketers need to re-evaluate the design, content, navigation and fulfilment orders of online stores geared toward the savvy teen shopper.

Forrester Research: Young Consumers Have Internalised the Net
http://www.nua.ie/surveys/index.cgi?f=FS&cat_id=47
Aug 11 1999: A new report from Forrester Research examines the consumption patterns and
spending power of young adults in the US and their implications for the future. Forrester estimates that
currently 12.4 million people between the ages of 16 and 22 are online in the US.
More generally, Forrester estimates that almost 10 percent of the US population is aged between 16
and 22, with almost half of these having Net access. In terms of spending power, they have a
personal income of USD37 billion and, through friends and family, influence an additional USD62
billion in consumer expenditure.
The report identified a key difference between Internet consumers aged under and over 22. It
argues that those over 22 consciously decide to adopt the Internet into pre-established consumption
patters, while under 22s have internalised the Net. This unconscious use of the new technology will
ultimately affect all their other behaviour patterns, according to James McQuivey, Senior Analyst at
Forrester.
The new Net powered generation of consumers will have five main expectations.

InternetDay: Customer Service Essentials
http://www.nua.ie/surveys/index.cgi?f=FS&cat_id=47
Aug 06 1999: The core principles of customer service hold equally true on the Internet, and are outlined in an article in InternetDay.
Top of the customer service do list is ‘service with a smile’. Merchants should introduce themselves and their service in a first move to build customers’ trust in the business, according to the report. Ensure to send efficient, well-phrased and friendly email. Customers need to feel businesses are working hard to meet their needs.
Second, is the ‘suggestive sell’, whereby sites offer complimentary added value services to customers. Third, the article points to the need for sites to ‘have the menu in plain site’. By providing consumers with all the product and pricing information they need, merchants build knowledge, which the article argues, reduces consumers’ fear of buying online. In the absence of this information consumers are certain to leave the site.
