ilu

What if you could become a company that’s much easier to do business with?

Keep customers longer? Grow profits?

The key to ease of doing business is reducing customer effort.

81%

96%

Of customers with HIGH-effort experiences are disloyal.

50%

will tell more than 10 people about their good experiences.

Further Details

The Ease of Doing Business Accelerator is a comprehensive approach to ease of doing business: identifying, prioritizing, and reducing customer effort across the enterprise.

It is based on our Customer Performance Framework and its 7 leading indicators—customer acquisition, customer rescue/retention, customer effort, customer engagement, customer adoption, customer value, and customer brand advocacy.

We’ll start with an in-depth customer effort diagnostic that you’ll complete within your company and submit before the course begins. We’ll use the data you’ve gathered to help prioritize effort reductions, build a business case, and create an action plan.

We’ll spend an intensive 1.5 days on the following
  • 1 Examining detailed cases of excessive customer effort across the customer lifecycle, the financial impact, and stories of success in reducing effort
  • 2 Ensuring that effort reduction initiatives are grounded in real customer needs. Research suggests that executives are focusing on initiatives that are misaligned with customer priorities
  • 3 Examining the activities and capabilities within our Customer Performance Framework that must be put in place to effectively and systematically reduce customer effort
  • 4 Prioritizing customer effort initiatives according to the framework for maximum impact
  • 5 Creating a customer effort score, benchmark, and measurement process
  • 6 Creating a near-term roadmap to reduce customer effort with a select handful of strategic initiatives
  • 7 Developing the compelling business case to reduce customer effort, including metrics to measure progress

When you’ve finished the course, you’ll walk away with a detailed action plan to address customer effort in your organization. Specifically, you’ll have the:

  • plus_yel Definition and prioritization of customer effort drivers
  • plus_yel Linkage of drivers to operational and financial metrics
  • plus_yel Linkage of drivers to what’s most important to your CEO
  • plus_yel Identification of and first steps/action plan for initiatives to address priority customer effort challenges
  • plus_yel Process for root cause/corrective actions to address customer effort reduction needs by customer segment

You will also have unlimited email & phone access to Curtis & Jeb for one month to aid you in your strategy and implementation.
