About "Understanding customer retention." topic:
Everyone wants to retain their existing customers. Few companies, however, are implementing positive strategies aimed at retention. Most companies are organized for acquisition. Their advertising and sales programs are designed to find and promote their products and services to new customers. The companies are organized on a product or brand basis, not on a customer segment basis. While they all have customer service departments, and most have a customer service toll free number, they lack an integrated marketing strategy that is directed at retention, and that defines retention as the measurement of success.
So lets discuss about How to build a customer retention strategy & how to implement customer retention which can ensure success.

I strongly believe they are not mutually exclusive. Retaining the customers does not mean that there need not be a strategy for luring the new customers. Luring the new customers also required to stay ahead in the race and to spread your base in...

Somnath I agree that petrol diesel prices are hiking. But this debates makes no sense. Customer wants mileage but can't tell whether it can be a petrol or diesel. It depends on the vehicle the customer uses. So give some sides that can be debated.

Don’t forget the power of POSTCARDS. Often that is all you need to get the basic message across, I read this line when I was new to retail, In the age of 21, I started my retail business with a very small loan amount, one thing I was very much sure about was, as soon my retail will be popular in the area I will have too face heavy competitions. Retailers with more money, man power, better space, and better in everything will soon grow for competition, So from the very first day we concentrated on customer relationship, and as I told you I read this line in a book and Implemented the policy, we started collecting the data of the customer and tried to write them before every season, In the beginning as we had lack of money I my self use to write it, it use to take four nights sitting but we use to do it manually to save money, our writing by hand was to save money but it gave a very good message to customer and we had excellent response from their side. This I...

The biggest management challenge in the new millennium of liberalisation and globalization for a business is to serve and maintain good relations with the king-the customer. In the past, producers took their customers for granted because at that time customers were not demanding nor had many alternative sources of supply or suppliers. Since he was a passive customer, the producer dictated terms and had little customer commitment. But today there is a radical transformation. The changing business environment is characterised by economic liberalisation, increasing competition, high consumer choice, enlightened and demanding customer, more emphasis on quality and value of purchase. All these changes have made today's producer shift from traditional marketing to modern marketing. Modern marketing calls for more than developing a product, pricing it, promoting it and making it accessible to target customers. It demands building trust, a binding force and value added relationship with...

Free Style Marketing How many times have you been to a business conference that guided the world to sell things for free? Well, if you never heard about one, then you need to know about Nokia World 2007 Conference where Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief talks to the world referring to this. The campaign broke all the traditional rules of selling a service product. As per Chris, the new way to sell today has changed focus from the actual product to the complementary product or supporting product that could enhance the selling of original product. Chris talks about the new selling concept of 0 + 2 = 2 in contrary to the old concept of 1+1 = 2. Now, what the hell does he mean by this Maths..? Consider Company A that sells both - the products and the services on the same products. As per the traditional earning model Company A earned Rs 1 revenue from selling the product and Rs 1 revenue from the services on the product. The modern way of selling sacrifices the revenue on product to earn...

It’s true that practice makes the man perfect. It was my stint with the leading life insurance company of India under tremendous sales pressure which helped me in learning new tricks of this trade. I have sold thousands of policies in last two and half years. For me, it’s very easy to identify in only two minutes, whether the customer is really serious in doing some investment or he has just called for information gathering activity. I have been the top performer and given various prizes. I have the reputation of converting 7 out of 10 clients if the customer has money in his pocket. I have earned lot of respect and money in this industry. At some occasions I picked policies worth million in just 10 minutes. I have never followed customer more than 2 times. I think any sales people must do that. I have habit of closing the deal at the discussion table in the first meeting with the client. Secret of my success is hard work and dedication. I have never given up. Each policy that I...
