Common customer service complaints “I entered my account number and the agent still asks me for it.” “I hate being transferred from one person to another.” “It is frustrating to sit on hold for minutes on end.” “Why can’t everybody know my issue? This is the 10th time I have call about the same problem. Don’t they value my business?” “I might not get a timely answer if I email. I’d rather call.” “How come when I go to the web site I get a different answer than when I call into your call centre?” “I just want to talk to a live person rather than enter 1, 2, or 3 on my touchtone phone.”

Implementing CRM Is it a strategic pain point? Where does it hurt? What specific processes are annoying customers? Examine the customer relationship cycle; usually a few small problems that undermine performance. Do we need perfect real time data? Is it worth spending money on real time data if we do not need it?
A CRM solution: strategic benefits • Most companies have decided to focus their efforts on multi-product relationships with profitable customer segments. Many are developing relationship strategies to identify, attract, grow and retain profitable customer segments - and hence will be targeting your most profitable customers. • Choose service levels by customer segment and channel. CRM will help enable different parts of the organisation to understand and communicate the “value” of each customer and hence the treatment strategy. • Enable a sales led organisation & culture to be implemented. The CRM solutions include sophisticated sales tools and sales management information to assist sales people • Streamlined administrative processes. CRM is likely to reduce levels of central support, manual administration, error correction and time taken to serve a customer. Save money.. • Avoid costly “data clean-up” and re-work programmes. By improving the quality and consistency of information recorded and used there will be far less need to invest in these type of activities.

Variables to track • Actual win or loss • Number of days played • Credit history • Length of stay at hotel • Individual spending preferences • Demographics • Psychographic profiles
Theoretical = (total amount wagered) X (house advantage) 100$ hand x 10 hours x 100 Hands/hour x .01 (house adv. 49/51) = $1,000 Theoretical Revenue
Can you track every single person??? • Not always • Difficult in table games • Theoretical = (total amount wagered) X (house advantage) Where.. Total amount wagered = estimated average bet x estimated time played
Future estimates… • ADT = Average Daily Theoretical Revenue • Assumes that this level is constant • Multiply by estimated # of days of future trip to gain value • Combined with CRM data on consumption of food and beverage, entertainment, pshychographics, etc
Rooms, a scarce resource • Heads in beds: make money on gaming • Comp. Rooms: traditionally a fixed number of rooms given to big gamblers • Used averages to cost out, did not dynamically look at “opportunity cost”
ReInvestment amount • % of the ADT • ADT $1,000 • Reinvestment amount = 30% • = $300 • Total value of the room, F&B, Entertainment, etc. must be less than the • Room 200, F&B 100, Ent. 80..more than ADT x reinvest. • Ergo…try and sell room.. • Sophisticated applications use dynamic pricing to asses opportunity costs..
Requirements • RM – Yield management like the airlines.. • Player tracking systems..Use cards like Harras, to register all activity and psychographic profiles • POS resturants, theaters, spas, retail stores, entertainment, etc… • CRM integrates all of the above!! • Statistical analysis and optimization applications.
