  2. Example: NationsBank Telephone Channel • “How do we turn the call center to a revenue generator for the bank while making sure that we’re still cost effective and high quality?

  9. The business case • a revenue story: share of wallet and customer migration to higher profitability; customer retention; household growth • estimating call volumes • estimating potential for x-sell • establishing staffing requirements • establishing training and hiring (if any) needs • establishing IT support needs • impact on associates

  10. The business case: revenue story • Retention: Given new service levels/segment • what is impact on customer retention? • how does this translate to revenue enhancement? • take into account retention related incentives and training needs • additional resource needs

  11. The business case: revenue story • Growth: estimating x-sell revenues • what is the volume of calls on which x-sell is attempted? • What is the conversion into sales? • How much x-sell potential in each segment? (logical,strategic) • what is the value of sales / segment? • Costs in customer goodwill? • Cost in terms of capacity? • Take into account sales incentives and training needs • impact of better service and functionality on household growth

  12. Other benefits • 30-35% reduction in turnover • less burnout? • cost savings elsewhere in the system: branches

  13. HR impact • career paths: impact on turnover? • assignment to segments: impact on service motivation • better skill match: happier people? • better information on customer: happier people? • change in technology: better IT user interface • change in technology: new skills

  14. IT impact • move from legacy to client server • at NationsBank scale, such client server system does not exist • need for outside expertise and help: vendor management • undefined territory: difficulty estimating needs and costs • people support • maintenance and software support

  15. Capacity impact • from fully pooled structure to organization with partial pooling • is it the right scale? • how to staff the new organization? • new service levels • new technology: impact on talk times? • skills based routing: impact on call volumes • x-sell: impact on call volumes, talk times, handoffs

  16. Implementations issues • Estimating revenue growth • Call volumes for different types of customers • Proportion of calls on which cross-sell attempted • Sales closing rate • Value of sales • Estimating costs • Capacity • Training • Incentives

  17. Key factors to get right • Understanding customer behavior • identify segments correctly • classify customers in segments • achieve x-sell targets • VRU design: utilization as planned • Communication • to customers: explain new design, use of new PINs • to employees: assigning to new roles; explaining full design • Implementation of new service levels • anticipating call volumes • staffing: pooling, x-sell, new technology

  18. Points of possible failure • Technology • undefined territory • Over-design • vendor management • cost overruns • underestimating maintenance and support costs • people • new jobs, new roles: people tiering • new technology • sales in service jobs

  19. Points of possible failure • marketing: customer and media response • NationsBank discriminates • conceptual leap: from price differentiation to service differentiation • customers do not use new system as planned • operations • transition problems • staffing • combining service and sales

  20. Strong point of the design: intelligent x-sell • Segment based • targeted: rules • linked to service • frequency of x-sell • nature of x-sell • tries to manage HR challenge: blending service and sales

  21. Strong point of the design: service level differentiation • Start from customer • align strategy and service delivery • service levels matching segment needs • match resources to service delivery • measurement intensity and type aligned with segment needs • employee and customer needs aligned • try to keep dynamic view of segments

  22. Service level differentiation • align segment strategy and service level specifications • optimize use of resources • challenge: determining revenue impact of activities • risks: wrong estimates of segment behavior • risks: customer alienation going too far • enabler: information and technology • people: danger of giving wrong message

  23. Review from previous sessions • strategic service vision: applied to each segment • service delivery design: translating customer strategy to delivery specifications • more on the idea of firing your customers: an example of how you actually do it • Last time: example of quantifying retention related economics • This time: implementation issues…

  24. Lessons learned • a successfully implemented service level differentiation strategy is a very powerful tool in aligning customer needs with the service delivery system. The strategy allows a firm to provide the economically rational level of quality, to balance internal measurement costs with the resulting benefits, and to match employee skills closer to customer needs thereby improving both customer and employee satisfaction. • design and implementation of a service level differentiation strategy requires a good understanding of processes and operations. It is impossible to make a business case without the explicit ties to the underlying processes. • cross-selling works best when it is done in a targeted fashion. This alleviates the common problem of loss of customer goodwill and wasted capacity • understanding customer behavior is the essential ingredient of any service delivery design endeavor.
