Customer Intelligence & Key Account Management Outsourcing for Improved Wallet Share

Customer Intelligence & Key Account Management Outsourcing for Improved Wallet Share

  • By: magistral
  • December 14, 2022

Introduction

The process of acquiring and analyzing personal customer data to ascertain the most efficient methods of communication with each consumer is known as customer intelligence. In today’s digitally driven economy, customers provide information about themselves every time they contact your business, including their interests, demographic data, preferences, needs, and wishes. Businesses may enhance interactions and offer more individualized customer experiences by leveraging customer data to better understand their clients. Additionally, it provides organizations with the crucial information they need to efficiently plan their campaigns and improve client communications. All of this encourages the business to grow since it improves the client experience.

Businesses must improve the consumer experience if they want to stay competitive. Businesses must gather crucial insights into customer behaviors, such as what customers need and where they are in the purchasing process, to create an upgraded customer experience. Customer relationship management depends on customer intelligence, which also increases marketing effectiveness (CRM). CRM and customer intelligence work together to help businesses manage their contacts with both present and potential customers. Additionally, they can produce more timely, relevant, and tailored ads that please clients and produce excellent outcomes for the business.

Benefits of Customer Intelligence

You will be able to transform all of your customer interactions to be data-driven and highly tailored after you have a well-implemented customer intelligence backbone in place. Your most critical customer KPIs will rise both temporarily and permanently as a result of higher customer happiness, loyalty, spending, and retention. There is no better approach to developing comprehensive and in-depth perspectives of your customers and your interactions with them. The entire visibility it provides you into how your marketing efforts are doing overall, per campaign/offer, per marketing channel, per lifecycle stage, per client persona, and so forth is another facet of customer intelligence done correctly.

Benefits of Customer Intelligence for businesses

Benefits of Customer Intelligence for businesses

-Forecasting and Sales Growth:

Increasing sales is one of the main motives for implementing customer intelligence by successful businesses. Understanding the preferences of present and potential customers can help businesses develop better products and services that will encourage business growth because, at the end of the day, being profitable is the ultimate goal of any firm.

-Understanding the consumers:

It is another important factor in the growth of customer intelligence because it aids companies in understanding customer analytics. In addition to helping businesses and marketers increase sales, customer intelligence also enables them to fine-tune their messaging, supply chain, market research, and social media campaigns by enabling them to understand what is connecting with their target audiences.

-A more customer-centered culture:

While sales are a crucial component of operating a business, no organization can get away from failing to give customers a positive and relaxing experience. Customers come first, according to global leaders, who are fostering the CX culture across all departments. Customer intelligence enables businesses to comprehend and enhance the whole customer journey.

-Better Data-Based Decision-Making:

Promoting Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) across your teams is one of the crucial but frequently ignored benefits of using customer intelligence. Hard facts are the loudest thing there is. Businesses frequently make judgments based solely on their gut, but to stand out in the present competitive environment, well-informed strategic decisions must be taken.

Process of Customer Intelligence

Gather data

The first step in the customer intelligence process is to gather consumer data from a variety of sources, including emails, websites, phone calls, mobile apps, text messaging, paper forms, and recordings from contact centers. These details could be racial, ethnic, religious, philosophical, transactional, behavioral, or psychographic. Customer information can be gathered in a variety of methods, such as:

-Surveys: – Surveys are a great way for your support team, sales team, marketing team, and product team to gauge client satisfaction. Market research, Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), and Customer Effort Score (CES) are all options that can be used to gather various types of customer data.

-Interviews: If you have a lot of questions for your clients and want to learn the answers they frequently withhold in a questionnaire, interviews are fantastic. You may learn a lot about a customer’s personality from an interview by observing their body language and emotions.

-Customer service platform: A client service platform maintains customer information from emails, chats, phone calls, and social media dialogues. It is also known as a customer support tool, helpdesk, or ticket management system.

-Customer relationship management (CRM): Customer profiles, sales emails, sales calls, meeting notes, etc. are all stored in your customer relationship management (CRM) system. Your sales staff needs this kind of information if they want to increase sales performance.

Categorize data: 

After gathering consumer data, the firm must categorize it to improve analytics and insights. Direct feedback, indirect feedback, and inferred feedback are the three main categories of data.

Analyze the data: 

Numerous analytics tools and algorithms are accessible for analyzing client data gathered from numerous channels. These technologies make it easier to segment or group audiences based on similar data patterns. Customer lifetime value forecasting, customer behavior modeling, machine learning, predictive customer analytics, etc. are a few of these technologies.

Share insights: 

In the following analysis, pertinent stakeholders are shown actionable insights in an easily understandable format, such as dashboards, alerts, or customer journey maps. These insights aid in streamlining customer support processes and directing the next marketing activities to enhance client journeys, satisfaction, and experiences.

Customer Intelligence Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Metrics like these can give you a firm grip on your internal procedures, which in turn would enable you to monitor all channels, data, and clients in real-time.

Insights into Customer Support:

Businesses may assess the performance of their goods and services by seeing and analyzing data from the Help Desk. They can better position their product offering for their customers and allocate resources to speed up their customers’ presales and post-sales processes if they have a deeper grasp of this. Making the appropriate choices about customer service initiatives, such as investing in Chatbots or better resource allocation and staffing, can be aided by tracking KPIs like Average Response Times, Support Channels, Tickets across Product Categories, and Customer Satisfaction.

Transactional Insights:

Information from a CRM like Salesforce can assist companies to identify what is and is not selling. What do customers enjoy and find objectionable? To sell more successfully, it is useful to understand leads, prospects, and even prior clients. Better customer relationship management and revenue growth might result from segmenting your clients based on their sales volume or product preferences.

Magistral’s Services for Customer Intelligence

Magistral Consulting provides various levels of services to support businesses. The steps for successful customer intelligence support are as follows:

Customer Needs Analysis: 

Focus groups let researchers collect data on anything from goods and services to beliefs and perceptions to disclose actual customer attitudes and opinions. They are used to acquire qualitative data and in-depth insights. We choose focus groups, do thorough market analyses, and then launch exploratory research to uncover any overlooked possible factors.

Customer Segmentation: 

Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning enable you to position a product or service more to target various client segments. Simply said, it is a marketing strategy in which you segment your audience, target the audience groups that are most appropriate for your product, and position your product to successfully reach your target segment.

Account-Based Management: 

Focused planning for each B2B account, analyzing annual spending for sales enablement for each account and a share of wallet study to identify the spending made by customers for the company and the clients.

Sales Battle Cards: 

Support the sales team to improve the pitch for the respective segment of customers for a better conversion rate.

Customer Journeys: 

Customer experience research identifies, gathers, and examines information regarding the touchpoints a business has during a customer’s purchasing process. Current patterns are gathered by surveys, in-person interviews, research specifically designed for the topic, or a combination of these. With the experience research in hand, we can understand the customer satisfaction graph and through the feedback survey, actionable insight can be drawn.

Channel Planning and Effectiveness: 

Channel Partner Selection based on the goal, benchmarking the Channel Metrics for better decision-making, and designing distribution channels.
