Customer Experience Analysis: Retain Revenue

52% of organizations with Customer Experience programs in place have customer retention rates higher than 75%.

So just what is Customer Experience Analysis?

It is the study of current customers to learn what you can do now to retain more revenue in the future. Customer experience measures a customer's loyalty between purchase decisions.

Customer Experience Uncovers:

• Where to build loyalty
• What customers want
• The customer journey
• Upsell potential
• Product enhancements

The Four Pillars of Customer Experience

Customer experience should be able to deliver these benefits for your company in order to be successful.

Customer retention: will we survive a contract renewal?

• Revenue realized: are customers spending less than anticipated?
• Revenue retention: are customers spending the same this year as last?
• Revenue expansion: are we identifying all upsell opportunities with this client?

Why does Customer Experience Analysis work?

• It goes to the source: customers and account managers
• It tells you what happens: what drives value
• It tells you what to do next: benefits must be realized by the customer
• It delivers an outcome: retain and grow the customer's business

"The only customer experience that matters is the one that leads your customer to continue buying from you."
—Ken Allred, CEO, Primary Intelligence

• Find out the likelihood of there being repeat business

Why? Discuss with your account team

• Ask them what major reasons caused the customer to feel that way
• Identify action items to retain this customer

Now what? Create an action plan

• Explain to key stakeholders what is driving poor and excellent experiences
• Give everyone in the company access t o the customer experience insights
• Benchmark your revenue retention and growth rates consistently
