Delivering Superior Customer Experience

Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM) at Epicenter

The traditional approach and cost optimization to Customer Relationship Management is morphing into a new concept of Customer Lifecycle Management. Traditional CRM systems mainly considered answering calls and dealing with customer cases or problems. Today, as organizations look to differentiate on the basis of Superior Customer Service, managing the entire customer life cycle, i.e., from the inception of the service, the creation of the service, the billing of the service, the addition of the service, and ultimately maybe even the reduction or replacement of some services has become a mammoth task. Once you hone this process, it is easier to maintain and increase your customer base with customer delight. Let’s understand Customer Lifecycle management from an outsourced business perspective.

Customer lifecycle management, in a nutshell, is about every aspect of your interaction with the end customer. Organizations today primarily focus on achieving greater operational efficiency, customer service innovations, and reduced costs. At the same time, they cannot afford to spend their team’s time fully optimizing every aspect of the product/service since the customer loyalty life span now has a short shelf life. At the same time, the organization’s business strategies in the next five years may look fundamentally different than they look today. In that case, we would want to move towards greater cost optimization, but not at the expense of agility and not at the expense of being able to introduce new products or services rapidly.

Customer Lifecycle Management begins with the customer acquisition process. Businesses have progressed from a simple cold calling to creating an Omni channel experience by using digital marketing, Account-based marketing, a segment of one marketing platform, and intent data to win over a customer using consultative selling. Brands today are trying to innovate in customer service to compete with this new era of disruptive businesses. After all, not all brands can have the wallet share of the consumer with the likes of Amazon or Google.

In Epicenter’s view, brand equity is directly proportional to the revenue, and therefore it is imperative to have a balanced approach to Customer Lifecycle Management. Even if B.A.N.T. (Budget, Authority, Need, Timing) is nullified, an interest created in your product/service can still turn the lead warm. And this is a prime reason why Digital and AI have a predominant role in Customer Lifecycle Management.

Any organization would run with three different objectives,

1. Brand Awareness

2. Customer Engagements and Life Cycle Management

3. Demand Generation through AI
