Study Notes
Customer Orientation Fundamentals
- Market-oriented cultures are crucial for creating sustainable competitive advantages.
- Market orientation focuses on continuously creating superior customer value by collecting and coordinating information on customers, competitors, and other market influencers.
- Three key components of market orientation are: customer orientation, competitor focus, and cross-functional coordination.
Steps to Build Customer Orientation
- Customer Needs Assessment: This involves using market research and surveys to understand customer needs.
- Competitor Analysis: Analyzing competitors' strategies and actions is important.
- Customer Segmentation: Identifying distinct customer groups based on shared characteristics.
- Developing/Launching Products with Better Customer Value Management: Managing each customer relationship to maximize lifetime profit from the entire customer base.
- Customer Value Management (CVM): Aims to increase the overall value of the customer base by managing individuals' profitability to maximize total customer lifetime value. CVM focuses on managing the profitability of each individual customer throughout the entire relationship, rather than just managing products or campaigns.
Customer Value Management Cycle
- Right Customers (Acquisition): Attracting customers who will be highly valuable to the business, often those who will do repeat business.
- Right Relationship (Development): Fostering relationships with customers to maximize their value, by tailoring offers and interactions to meet individual needs.
- Right Retention (Keeping Valuable Customers): Keeping valuable customers by understanding their needs, offering personalized experiences, and maximizing their lifetime value.
Lifetime Value (LTV)
- LTV is calculated as purchase size multiplied by frequency and duration.
- Increasing the size, frequency, and duration of customer purchases is key to increasing lifetime value.
- Loyalty measures aid in estimating customer lifetime before the relationship ends.
Right Retention
- Focusing resources on high-value customers is crucial for retention. This avoids wasted resources on less valuable customers.
- Analyzing lifetime value helps determine which customers are most valuable and why.
- Communicating consistently but not redundantly with customers across all contact points ensures a positive experience.
