Slide 1The CRM Process includes the following stages: target,
acquire, transact, service, retain, and grow.
Identifying Customers – Every piece of user information a firm
receives goes into a database that helps firms identify the best
(highest value, longest loyalty, highest frequency of purchase,
etc) customers.
Differentiating Customers – Many firms differentiate customers by
value, which is evident by the 80/20 principle (80% of a company’s
business comes from 20% of their customers). Technology allows
firms to identify high-value customers and respond with offers in
real time over the Internet.
Customizing the Marketing Mix – Once the firm has identified and
differentiated the customers, it can customize offerings to
segments or individuals. Customization occurs when firms tailor
their marketing mixes to meet the needs of small target segments
using electronic marketing tools. Personalization involves ways
that marketers individualize in an impersonal computer
environment.
Interaction – Interaction with customers is what allows firms to
collect the data necessary for identification and differentiation
and to evaluate the resulting customization effectiveness on a
continuous basis. The idea is that both the firm and the customer
learn from each experience and interaction.

TO YOU: Talking with not at customers and responding to their needs
throughout your organization’s lifecycle with them:
Acquire & Retain
Understand & Differentiate
Develop & Customize
Interact & Deliver
TO YOUR CUSTOMERS: You know me no matter where or when I deal with
you. You treat me better the more you know me, and give me
personal, friendly service.

Re-examine all of your customer management business
processes.
Re-/define where CRM provides the greatest value to your “best”
customers and your organization.
Don’t “repave the cow paths”
Incrementally implement CRM to improve top targeted
processes.
Ex. Subscription Renewal processes
E-Surveying: Progressive Profiling Management
Viral Marketing: Tell-a-Friend Management
E-Commerce: Memberships, Event Registration Management
Affiliate Management: Sponsorship Management (Boston
Symphony)
Reporting / Analysis: Profiles, Behaviors…
CRM Strategies
Customer Acquisition
Gain the greatest number of new “Best” customers as early in their
“lifespan” as possible.
Customer Retention
Retain and expand your business and relationships with your
customers through up-selling, cross-selling and servicing.
Customer Loyalty
Offer programs to ensure that your customers happily buy what you
offer only from you.
Customer Evangelism
Cost Reduction
Reduce costs related to marketing, sales, customer service and
support.
Improve Productivity
BRAND VS DIRECT RESPONSE:
“Seeing is believing.” vs. “Put your money where your mouth
is.”
Measuring Clickthroughs undercounts branding success, yet overcount
direct response. Know your goals.
Brand builders (Buy later): Buy Branding campaigns and measure CPMs
only.
Direct marketers (Buy now!): use “Click to Buy” and measure
conversion to sales.
Examples:
B-to-C: Direct response: online catalogs, banner ads or links with
“Buy Now”. Branding: Sponsorships, articles, events, plain banners,
all print or non-direct TV ads.
B-to-B: Direct response: Configurator tools, ordering Extranets.
Branding: all print and non-direct TV, trade fairs.
Noida
Differentiation, innovation and convenience
Increased bundling, reduction of costs, improved customer
service
Retention: Keep your profitable customers for life.
Delivering not what the market demands but what your customers want
and more.
Enabling total listening and multi-way conversations between
companies (including formerly “isolated” internal employee
experts), customers, and trading partners.

Customer Acquisition and Viral Marketing
CUSTOMER ACQUISITION: “Don’t start choppin’ ‘til you’ve treed the
bear.”
Create differentiated offerings, particularly in convenience, to
attract new profitable customers that are similar to your current
best customers.
VIRAL MARKETING: “To hear a secret is human, to air it is
divine!”
Use the natural tendency to spread the word (gossip) to your
advantage. Incent customers to bring in others through recognition
and rewards.
Ex. iVillage “Send a Friend”, Kira Points upon registration, user
is told to get friends to sign up in exchange for “Kira
Points”.
Noida
CUSTOMER RETENTION
RETENTION: “You don’t know the worth of water until the well runs
dry.” and “Don’t muddy up the well that you get your water
from.”
Spend generously to keep your best customers with superior service,
rewards, and recognition. You can’t afford to lose your “great
ones”.
RECOGNITION:”I’m so durned glad to be home, I’m glad I went.”
Use integrated systems to remember your customer from all
touchpoints. (Not done at AAA)
Make them feel “at home” with your business. (Ex. Hotel profiles,
Hertz Gold Clubs, Amazon.com personalized home page )
REWARDS: “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”
Reward your best current customers differently than new ones.
Customers’ pet peeves include getting discounts for new
subscriptions and none for loyal readers (Ex. Most print magazines
give you discount when you sign up as new reader, then charge full
price for renewal, penalizing loyal customers).

STRENGTHS, INFRASTRUCTURE & FOCUS
BUILD OFF YOUR STRENGTHS: “Call a spade a spade and start
diggin’.”
Perform an e-CRM SWOT Analysis to assess Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats across all core areas of your business.
Know your core competencies and build off them. Eliminate or
downplay weaknesses that leave you open to the competition.
Blueprint your e-CRM project. Follow 9-step methodology once to map
current business, then review what other best practices companies
are doing at each step, then repeat 9-step to map your ideal
e-business.
INFRASTRUCTURE: “He doesn’t have enough studs for his dry
wall.”
It takes time, money, people and integrated systems and processes
to implement eCRM across the organization to create a
Customer-Driven Enterprise (See chart). You can’t afford NOT to do
it, but do budget for it.
PRIORITIZATION: Companies who lack focus are “like a hog on
ice”.
Most companies fail at eCRM by doing it all at once. Use a phased
approach (see chart) and set the dominos up in order, knocking them
down one at a time.

Attention
I am unwilling to waste attention. You must earn It.
Value
I expect to receive 2-3x value in return for investing my
attention.
Desire For Knowledge and Individuality
I desire information that is valuable to me because it enables me
to decide what to do, and how best to do it.
Decoded Complexity
I will turn to reliable sources of “evaluated” information and may
find it convenient to complete my purchase at the same time, and at
the same point.
Noida
Not Deliberately Misled or Confused
Your uncoordinated marketing communications result in a lack of
congruency or no “single version of the truth” to me.
Organizational Memory
I expect all employees that I interact with to “know” me.
Respects Privacy
My data is not shared with anyone and is only used to improve your
value and service my needs.
Problems and Needs
I expect you to solve my current and future problems and needs
quickly, professionally and efficiently.
Can Quickly Find Information Pertinent to Current Interests
Ideal: Let me define what information I am interested in, and “an
agent” would go and find it for me, and report back later in a
form, at a time, on a device, and over a medium appropriate to
me.
