But Why Are You Treating Them Like They Are?
You’ve done it.
You’ve gotten a sale.
You do your little celebratory dance as you see your ‘sales today’ numbers climb.
And…?
You go back to work, hoping they will be ‘wow-ed’ by your product enough to warrant a repeat purchase.
Quick question — what are you doing on the back-end for an enhanced customer experience? If absolutely nothing is your answer, you might want to reconsider…
It takes a bank approximately $300 per account to acquire a new customer.
However, the CEB report states that 32% of new customers who join a bank leave before their first year anniversary! (It takes a bank roughly 2 years to re-coop that $300)
Here are some additional stats
- 20% of bank customers who leave within the first year do so without a single transaction
- 50% do so in the first 100 days
- 60–70% of car owners never go to an auto repair shop after the first try due to their horrendous first experience
Did you know that across a wide range of industries, a 5% improvement in customer retention rates yield a 25–100% increase in profits? (Frederick Reichheld, Loyalty Effect)
