Religence Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

21. The measurement of all interactions with customers could be enormously expensive. How do we decide what we need to capture?

There is no pat answer to this. There are several factors that can mitigate the decision.

  • One, the granularity you choose to capture in our operational CRI tracking system depends on what kind of decisions you need to make with the data. Not all interactions are of equal importance to your customers. Some companies are doing extensive research to understand this.

  • Two, if you have been doing predictive modeling, you may have a better idea of which interactions are causal, and therefore important. It may also be possible to extrapolate the value of the interactions in moving the relationship forward or backward.

  • Three, companies who use the Internet extensively are likely to have clickstream data that can add greatly to the understanding of the customer relationship process.

Whatever data is available is calibrated to the framework, and critical missing interactions are anticipated for the ongoing process. But whether you've applied these methods or not, working with Religence, you don't have to start from scratch.

We have an interaction database, based on 30 years of experience in sales and marketing to draw upon to help you decide what is important. What we've found is that at different stages in the customer lifecycle you'll want to know a different level of detail. For example, early in the relationship, you're likely to want to know more than you will later on because you don't know what to expect. Or if your customer becomes unhappy, you'll want to ratchet up the amount of detail.

We help you find a practical, economic balance—and use what you are already capturing to your advantage.
