This is no longer just about price, promotion and quality; Experience also plays an important role. This is why organizations have implemented a method called Customer-centric. Building a quality Customer-centric strategy will help businesses get one step closer to their customers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. What is Customer-centric?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Customer-centric is a business strategy based on putting your customers first, at the core of your business, to deliver positive experiences and build lasting relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Customer-centric requires more than just saying that the Customer comes first. It&#8217;s about the business has to understand the Customer; you can anticipate their communication wants, needs, and preferences, create meaningful experiences, and build lasting relationships with them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6241\" src=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-3.png\" alt=\"customer-centric\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-3.png 1200w, https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-3-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Why Customer-centric is essential for businesses\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When you combine the Customer at the heart of your business with Customer Relationship Management (CRM), you&#8217;ll capture loads of data, giving you a full 360-degree view of customers. This data can then be used to enhance your customer experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>For example:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can use customer data to understand purchasing <a href=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/consumer-behavior\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">behavior<\/a>, interests, and engagement\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can identify opportunities to create products, services and promotions for your best customers\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can use customer lifetime value to segment customers based on who spends the most\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Research by Deloitte and Touche shows that customer-centric companies are 60% more profitable than non-customer-focused companies, and 64% of companies with customer-focused CEOs are good. Higher profits than competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6244\" src=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric.png\" alt=\"customer-centric\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric.png 500w, https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3. 3 ways to measure the success of Customer-centric adoption\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not every organization will have the same customer success metrics to measure Customer-centric. However, the three most important Customer-centric metrics that must be carefully tracked are customer churn, Net Promoter Score, and customer lifetime value (CLV).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3.1. Customer churn rate\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Expanding to new customers is becoming more difficult. As a result, many companies invest in retaining existing customers instead of trying to find new ones. Here&#8217;s why:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It can cost up to 5 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A 2% increase in customer retention has the same effect on profits as a 10% cost reduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On average, companies take approx. 10% of its customer base per year (also known as leaving customers)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, customers are more likely to leave a brand if:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Knowledgeable customer support or a super agent can address customer needs by listening clearly, addressing the issue, and then resolving it promptly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Companies lack automated self-service channels like knowledge bases to solve their problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Customers are not rewarded for their loyalty, while new customers receive benefits and bonuses for joining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3.2. Net Promoter Score\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are your customers satisfied? How do you measure customer satisfaction?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The answer is through NPS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NPS, or Net Promoter Score, focuses on uncovering customer loyalty by asking just one simple question:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Each time a customer answers this question, the answer will be segmented based on predefined criteria:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Marketers (9-10): These people love your product or service and will likely refer you to potential buyers. Customers who rate you 9 or 10 are repeat customers and will have a high customer lifetime value.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Passive (7-8): People who rate you 7 or 8 are happy to be your business&#8217;s customers but are more likely to switch to a competitor if they find a new or good product.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Non-supporters (0-6): These people are unhappy with your product or service and are likely to damage your brand reputation by sharing their negative experience with friends, their families and relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">3.3. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you&#8217;re investing in long-term relationships, you can calculate that by customer lifetime value or CLV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Three ways to measure the success of Customer-centric adoption Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CLV measures how much revenue a customer contributes to your business if they are a paying customer. It starts with their first purchase and ends when they stop doing business with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To calculate CLV, add up the total revenue you&#8217;ve earned and multiply that by the length of the business relationship. Then deduct the initial cost to get them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Example<strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0If a customer spends $1,000 annually and the average customer &#8220;lifetime&#8221; is ten years, then you multiply $1,000 by ten years ($10,000). Now, subtract the acquisition cost (in this case, we&#8217;ll estimate $1,000), and the CLV is $9,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Calculating your CLV helps you understand why you should invest in customer retention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6243\" src=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-1.png\" alt=\"customer-centric\" width=\"308\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-1.png 308w, https:\/\/cleverads.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/customer-centric-1-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Good examples of Customer-centric\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tech giant Microsoft has shifted to put the Customer at the center of its culture. Instead of pleasing shareholders, the brand wants to improve customer satisfaction by creating products that consumers will love.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Video game brand Electronic Arts (EA) has made several changes to put customer satisfaction above profit. EA has removed online fees added to used games. Plus, it offers a money-back guarantee for PC games (which are often prone to glitches).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fast food giant McDonald&#8217;s has discovered that its customers are looking for organic foods, antibiotic-free chicken and dairy-free products to artificial hormones. As a result, McDonald&#8217;s now puts customer preferences first as part of its business strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The above article is the basic definition of Customer-centric and three ways to measure the success of applying this strategy to optimize the business&#8217;s success.
