"Our Take"

(Past Editions by: Date, Title, Topic)

 
"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.
 
 
12/1/06 - More Words of Wisdom
Yesterday, I shared wisdom from Sir Colin Marshall who eloquently stated that customers don't always expect things to go right. Rather, it is what we do to correct the matter that really matters.
 
Indeed, research presented by John Goodman of TARP confirms that a company can actually create higher levels of loyalty if it rectifies an error in a satisfactory manner than if the problem had never happened. Each instance of "something going wrong" is a chance to build loyalty but it also a chance to become better.
 
"Customer complaints are the schoolbooks from which we learn" (Unknown). Or as Bill Gates wrote "Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." What are you doing to systematically learn from unhappy customers?
