The purpose of business is to create and retain a customer.
Much has been written about customer orientation, customer relationship management (CRM), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) metrics air jordan clearance sale , Customer Centric organization models, customer retention, customer care-add any high sounding word with -customer- preceding or succeeding that word and you have a new model, a new theory. Headline hitting books air jordan shoes clearance , celebrity author seminars and training till another theory comes along.
And we see the poor customer is still the most dissatisfied lot (that includes all of us specialists too, as customers).
What a manufacturer or service provider often thinks as a market or value proposition, customers respond in a diametrically different fashion. Why does it happen?
While business thinks in terms of products and derived values, customer is looking at satisfaction. The key question is whether all the strategy air jordan clearance , product features, add ons and value creation lead to ultimate customer satisfaction.
Now this may seem a little contradictory. To illustrate it better let's take the example of Cell phone services. Companies are rolling out a new product every fortnight offering more value, in their perspective.
Then the point is why does the customer keep switching over to different service providers and products or packages so often, if the products are offering value.
The key here is more value propositions are being rolled out without looking at the very basic. Whether the value proposed gives satisfaction to the customers. If not it is not valuable. The customer is buying satisfaction. Highest value is derived when the customer is fully satisfied with his purchase.
Some common myths in Value Creation
Myth # 1 More is often considered value
Buy one get one free schemes are rolled out. There is of course an instant sales push. However at the end of the scheme the customer feels that he had all along been paying 100% more for the products and perceives that very product as costly once the scheme is withdrawn. May switch to another product at the same price. Conclusion: Dissatisfaction leads to value erosion
Myth # 2 Price is value
Many business considers lower price as offering more value. More often than not lowest price products end up as the second best with a higher priced product with similar product attributes leading the market. The simple reason is the higher price product may be offering a higher satisfaction due to perceived values and imagery. Car markets are a prime example of this syndrome.
