Building Customer Relationships, 1:1 According to Harvard Business Review authors
Jones and Sasser, “Increased customer loyalty is the single most important driver of long-term performance.”
Many experts believe that relationship capital is the most important asset a firm can have.
This approach represents a major shift in marketing practice From mass marketing and focus on acquiring lots of new
customers To individualized marketing and retaining and building
more business from loyal, high-value customers 1:1 Consumer Services Market
Internet technologies facilitate relationship marketing One key is identifying key Internet tools

Relationship Marketing Defined Marketers named customer focus relationship
marketing (also 1:1 marketing) Relationship Marketing is about “establishing,
maintaining, enhancing, and commercializing customer relationships through promise fulfillment” (Gronroos, 1990)
Promise Fulfillment is making offers in their marketing communications programs; customer expectations would be met through actual brand experiences.
A firm using relationship marketing focuses more on wallet share than on market share. Wallet share is the amount of sales a firm can generate
from one customer over time, rather than on market share.©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL

Stakeholders Relationship marketing can be used to build
mutually supportive bonds with stakeholders other than consumers, such as employees and suppliers. The four stakeholders most affected by Internet technologies are: Employees.
It is difficult for a firm to persuade buyers when employees are not happy
Employees who need training and access to data and systems used for relationship management.
Many relationship management programs fail due to lack of employee training and commitment

Stakeholders, Cont. Business customers in the supply chain.
With partners relationship management (PRM), firms build and maintain relationships with those companies upstream and downstream
Both business customers and suppliers are extremely important
Lateral partners. Such as other businesses, not-for-profit
organizations, or governments join with the firm for some common goals but not for transactions with other.
Consumers. Consumers who are end users of products &
services. Marketers must differentiate between business
customers and final customers©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL 15-9
3 Pillars of Relationship Marketing Relationship Marketing is more than
promising fulfillment Two-way communication is vital to the success
of this relationship. Experts believe that relationship
marketing has three pillars that support customer relationships with the company’s products and services: Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Customer experience management (CEM) Customer collaboration management (CCM)
©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL 15-10
3 Pillars of Relationship Marketing, Cont. Customer Relationship Management (CRM, 1.0)
“The process of targeting, acquiring, transacting, servicing, retaining and building long-term relationships with customer”
Customer experience management (CEM) “Represents the discipline, methodology and / or process
used to comprehensively manage a customer’s cross-channel exposure, interaction and transaction with a company, product, brand or service”
Customer collaboration management (CCM) Also called CRM 2.0 and Social CRM Social CRM is a strategy to engage customer in
relationship-building conversation, often through social media.
Designed to make the company and the customer collaborate to create mutually beneficial results

Social Customer Relationship Management (CRM 2.0) Social CRM (CRM 2.0) holds all the principles of CRM
1.0, it adds social media technology and customer collaborative conversations to the process.
Social CRM means that companies must interact with customers on their terms, and not based solely on the company’s data, strategy and desires.
Social CRM extends CRM 1.0, but does not replace it. Adds benefits such as:
Monitoring and improving reputations. Learning more about customer needs, wants, and problems. Improving target market selection and revenue potential. Gathering data for market research on products & customer
service. Decreasing customer service costs. Identifying new revenue opportunities.
The explosion of social media has marketers putting “social” in front of CRM
©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL15-16
CRM Benefits Increased revenue from better prospecting
Most companies use customer data and mathematical models to determine who is a “good” customer
Can define prospects that are most likely to respond to promotional offers
Increased wallet share with current customers Current customers will spend more of their disposable
income with the firm Brand loyalty is a must to increase wallet share
Retaining customers for longer periods of time It is five to seven times more expensive to attract new
customers than to retain a current customer. Money would be better spent marketing to current
customer due to the 80/20 principle©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL
15-17
CRM Benefits, Cont. More customer leads to more sales Word-of-mouth communication among
customers is the heart of CRM Cost Saving
US businesses saved $155 billion between 1998 and 2000 by using CRM
A 5% increase in customer retention translates to 25% to 125% profitability in the B2B market
©2014 PEARSON EDUCATION, INC. PUBLISHING AS PRENTICE HALL 15-18
Retention vs. Acquisition Retention is less costly than acquisition
because: Reduced promotion costs both for advertising
and discounts. Current customers are likely to have higher
response rates to promotional efforts . Sales teams can be more effective since they
should know their individual customers well. CRM makes sense because they build loyal,
experienced customers. They know who to call in the firm when they have questions. This means loyal customers should cost less to service. They post positive reviews online.

1. CRM Vision Management must start with a vision that fits the
company culture and makes sense for the firm’s brands and value propositions.
To be successful, the CRM vision must start at the top and filter throughout the company to keep the firm customer focused.
One key aspect of CRM vision is how to guard customer privacy.
The benefits of using customer data must be balanced by the need to satisfy customers and not anger them.

2. CRM Strategy E-marketers must determine their objectives and
strategies for initiating CRM programs and buying technology or setting up social media accounts.
Relationship Intensity Many CRM goals refer to customer loyalty (e.g.
Harley Davidson and Apple computers) An important CRM strategy is to move to move
customers up the relationship intensity pyramid to advocacy (awareness, identity, connection, community, and advocacy, Ch. 9).
Another CRM goal involves building bonds with customers on 3 levels: financial, social and structural.

2. CRM Strategy, Cont. Relationship Levels1. Marketers build a financial bond
Use pricing strategies Price promotions are easily imitated (the lowest level)
2. Marketers stimulate social interaction with customers Ongoing personal communication Aggressive pricing strategies Customers are more loyal due to the social bond Can also use community building
3. Marketing relies on creating structural solutions to customer problems Firms add value by making structural changes that
facilitate the relationship Customizing Web pages
Social networks combine levels two and three, they create community and structural bonds (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook).

3. Customer Experience Management Most customers want brand loyalty as much as the
firms want customer loyalty According to Sheth (1995), the basic principle of CRM
is choice reduction. That, consumers want to patronize the same website
Many consumers are “loyalty prone,” and will stick with the right product as long as its promises are fulfilled.
Communication preferences vary by individual Customer Service Fills every stage of customer acquisition, retention, and
development practices. Most often occurs post purchase E-mail and web self-service are emerging trends Synchronous and asynchronous technologies can
provide automated and human communications that solve customer problems.

4. Customer Collaboration Management / Marketing (CCM) CCM recognizes the change from a transaction focus
online to an interaction focus A learning relationship between a customer and an
enterprise gets smarter and smarter with each individual interaction
CCM is content, people, and interaction driven, while traditional CRM is data-driven.
CCM is about managing customer relationships and experiences by creating and monitoring online content
Listening the online chatter using technology such as Google Alerts and social media dashboards is more important than talking when a company is selling.

emails, telephone calls…) Working to create satisfying experiences at all
customer levels Can be challenging due to different employees
