Executive Summary)

Customer Care As the
Mindset of Business Success
Customer care is not a technique, it is
a mindset. It is a customer-focused corporate mindset and culture
that inspires teams to keep creating and delivering extraordinary
customer value and thus helps companies acquire new customers,
provide superior customer satisfaction, and build customer loyalty.
New Definitions of
Value
In the new rapidly changing economy,
the focus must be on the way in which the nature of value is
changing, involving new ways to price goods, information and
emotion. The implication of these new forms of exchange is a
transfer of power from the producer to the customer. There are
multitudes of values present in every buyer-seller exchange:
economic, informational and emotional. These exchanges increasingly
happen so fast that there is no time to translate them into precise
monetary terms. Businesses will need to identify these hidden values
and think more accurately about their worth before accepting the
price proposed. The implications are profound. Companies will need
to think in terms of offers, which involve merging products and
services to exploit their knowledge to give customers a value-added
experience, not just "selling them stuff".
(Adapted
from: "Blur", Davis, S. and Meyer, C.)
New Systems Approach
To Marketing and Selling
“Selling, in the old days, was largely
and act of personal heroism,” writes Michael Hammer in his book
Agenda. “The key to successful selling was knowing the products and
the customers. The effective sales rep would present his or her
product or service in the best possible light, forge a bond with the
buyer, and triumph over the competition.”
“This approach has little to do with
the way sales are made in today’s real world. Today's customers
don't want products; they demand solutions, and solutions don't come
in a box. They must be designed, fashioned to meet the customer's
specific needs. Making such sales takes a lot more than personal
charisma. Today's selling is SYSTEM SELLING, solution selling,
consultative selling; it entails analyzing customer needs, designing
alternative solutions, scrutinizing costs, developing and
implementing systems, and more. This is not the work of a heroic
individual sales rep. Modern selling is a team sport, and a complex
one at that. Winning at it takes discipline and structure. Making it
up as you go along is a recipe for disaster.”
