"A business absolutely devoted to Customer Service Excellence will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large."-Sir Henry Ford "The cost of retention is $180 per customer," he says. "But most automotive dealerships are set up for customer acquisition - which is crazy when you consider the average cost of customer acquisition is $1,000 or more."-Arthur Hughes, author of several books on using databases to enhance CRM. "70 to 90 percent of decisions not to repeat a purchase of anything are not about product or price. They are about some dimension of service."-Barry Gibbons, former CEO, Burger King "The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency."-Bill Gates

8 Building Blocks for Successful CRM Exhibit 14 - 4 Eight Building Blocks for Successful CRM Source: Adapted from Gartner Group (www.gartner.com)
1. CRM Vision • To be successful, the CRM vision must start at the top and filter throughout the company to keep the firm customer focused. • One key aspect of CRM vision is how to guard customer privacy. • The benefits of using customer data must be balanced by the need to satisfy customers and not anger them. • TRUSTe provides its seal and logo to any Web site meeting its privacy philosophies. 14-12

2. CRM Strategy • E-marketers must determine their objectives and strategies before buying CRM technology. • Many CRM goals refer to customer loyalty. • An important CRM strategy is to move customers up the relationship intensity pyramid • Another CRM goal involves building bonds with customers on 3 levels: • Financial • Social • Structural 14-14
3. Valued Customer Experience • Consumers are constantly bombarded by marketing communications and unlimited product choices. • According to Jagdish Sheth (1995), the basic tenet of CRM is choice reduction. • Many consumers are “loyalty prone,” and will stick with the right product as long as its promises are fulfilled. • Synchronous and asynchronous technologies can provide automated and human services that solve customer problems. 14-16
4. Organizational Collaboration • Marketers collaborate within and outside the organization to focus on customer satisfaction. • CRM, or “front-end” operations, can be linked with the entire supply chain management system (SCM), or “back-end” operations. • Customer service reps have access to inventories. • Producers and wholesalers constantly receive data that can be utilized for production and delivery. • The use of extranets, two or more intranet networks that share information, allows CRM-SCM integration. 14-18
5. CRM Processes • Firms use specific processes to move customers through the customer care life cycle. 14-19
CRM Processes, cont. • CRM processes are used to: • Identify customers. • Differentiate customers. • Customize the marketing mix. • Interact with customers. • Firms can identify high-value customers by mining customer databases and profiling customers in terms of: (RFM analysis) • Recency of purchases. • Frequency of purchases. • Monetary value of purchases. 14-20
6. CRM Information • The more information a firm has, the better value it can provide to each current or prospective customer. • Firms gain much information by tracking behavior electronically. • Bar code scanner data. • Software that tracks online movement, time spent per page, and purchase behavior. 14-21
7. CRM Technology • Technology greatly enhances CRM processes. • Firms use company-side tools to push customized information to users. • Client-side tools allow the customer to pull information that initiates the customized response from the firm. 14-22
Company-side Tools 14-23
Client-side Tools 14-24
8. CRM Metrics • E-marketers use numerous metrics to assess the Internet’s value in delivering CRM performance. • ROI • Cost savings • Revenues • Customer satisfaction • One study named customer retention, ROI and customer lift (increased response or transaction rates) as the most important metrics. 14-25
CRM Metrics, cont. • One very important CRM metric is customer lifetime value (LTV). • The LTV calculation demonstrates the benefits of retaining customers over time and the need for building wallet share. • LTV also illustrates that no matter how good customer retention is, the firm must still focus on customer acquisition activities. • Exhibit 14.21 illustrates Customer LTV. 14-26
