"Our Take" 
"Our Take" is a collection of daily vignettes covering a wide range of CRM topics. It's an attempt to add our own spin to the world of CRM. We will use the column to share our perspectives, opinions, epiphanies, web nuggets, or quite frankly anything that moves us. Get ready to expect the unexpected. And, don't be shy about sharing your thoughts.
 
 
3/21/07 - Active Alerting
We continue to receive great responses from people who are obviously very passionate about measuring customer satisfaction. I take to mean that people are passionate about customer satisfaction. That is a good thing.
 
One reader responded with a list of critical factors. One such factor caught my eye as it relates to measuring customer satisfaction on a regular basis rather than event basis. He said, "There must be an active alert system, in real or near real-time, to facilitate taking action when conditions are met. That is, if a customer's experience merits taking individual action, an alert must be sent immediately so as to void negative actions on the customer's part and gain positive reference from that customer. These alerts must be structured for general trends as well as specific responses."
 
The reader goes on to say, "As this data gets collected, it enables companies to make far more accurate business decisions regarding resource allocation and areas for improvement. It also fundamentally trumps the guess work of many BI processes. It is the Holy Grail of customer intelligence." The Holy Grail of customer intelligence and trumping BI are big claims. Do you agree?
