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.
