Strategic Customer Retention
Customer Experience and Sales|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Customer Retention looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on needs analysis, telephone and contact centre skills and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because customer complaints are logged far more often than they are analysed. Delegates leave able to work confidently with upselling and cross selling, complaint handling and pipeline management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve upselling and cross selling within their own organisation, measured against consultative selling methodology
- Review complaint handling and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring pipeline management into line with current good practice
- Make a decision about difficult conversations without waiting for a specialist
