Becoming "Customer Worthy"

Being "Customer Worthy" means earning the right to be part of a customer's journey by delivering real value in their context. It’s not enough to offer a product or service; your businesses must demonstrate that you care about the customer’s success.

Here’s how companies can become "Customer Worthy":

• Deliver in each interaction along the customer life cycle reliably and transparently.

• Provide relationship stewardship, product, service and relationshopsupport that anticipates and exceeds expectations.

• Engage customers way that is meaningful on their terms in the customer's context, including elevating customer's perceived status among their peers and ecosystem for exponential growth, affiliation, education and helpful information and community building.

• Measure success interaction by interaction across the customer lifecycle ultimately tied to shared value by customer outcomes, not just point in time sales figures but lifetime value and network, social, referral value.

  
  

For instance, a software company that offers free training and resources helps customers use their product effectively. Place a monetary value on these services and use your "company currency" to grow perceived value, tiered service offerings, and grow complimentary revenue generating services. This support increases customer satisfaction and reduces churn, leading to steady growth while elevating the perceived value of shared success and your business maintaining continuous feedback on market trends, solution relevance and client needs.
