Motivating management

And it starts at the top with senior management.

A company can never be more customer centric than its decision-makers. Regrettably, it’s not enough for middle management or your marketing manager to have seen the light.

To succeed in gaining more customers, and more loyal customers, you need to get all the top decision-makers to buy in. In other words: management must be motivated to invest the needed resources. This is the only way to embed the customer-centric mindset organisation-wide.

Speak a language senior management understands

What motivates your company’s decision-makers? The answer is simple: financial implications.

You won’t be able to sell customer centricity and customer loyalty with arguments like ‘it’s what the competition’s doing’, or ‘it’s the right thing to do’. You have to quantify the value with hard financial data. In other words, you need to present a business case:

• What would happen if your company lost just 5% of the customers who are currently the least loyal? And conversely, if you were able to sell 10% more to your most loyal customers, what would that do for your bottom line?
