Creating End-User Stickiness

An Opportunity for Broadband Providers

Customers want more, expect more and demand more

And this isn’t a bad thing for service providers. Meeting the needs of customers directly correlates to customer satisfaction. And a Satisfied customer doesn’t leave.

•  A highly satisfied broadband subscriber is 46% LESS LIKELY to churn from current provider, where as a highly dissatisfied customer is 384% MORE LIKELY to leave their current provider.1

Customer Lifecycle

•  Benefits of managed PC security platform –  Increased take rates through bundling the product with DSL

  Raised average revenue per user for DSL

–  Decreased tech support calls by close to 10%

–  Customer satisfaction survey revealed better customer satisfaction rates since implementing managed PC security

•  Lessons learned –  Bundling works

–  Requires concerted marketing effort

Case Study #1

Case Study #1

•  Began using managed PC security platform in late 2007

–  The promotion was to launch the SecureIT product and continue to drive take rates on SecureIT Plus

•  Offered 30 days free for SecureIT

–  Promotion ran the months of June and July

–  Promotion campaign included

  Mass e-mail announcement

  Newspaper ads

  Bill inserts

  Flyers

Case Study #2

June brought in 149 licenses; 79 SecureIT and 70 SecureIT Plus. The prior 90-day average on the SecureIT Plus was 42!

“We are quite pleased with the success of our promotion. This campaign drove our SecureIT licenses by more than tripling our 90-day average take rate of 42. The new SecureIT base

offering was a major factor and reached a market segment we had not touched before and tripled our overall sales rates.”

Case Study #2

•  Madison concerns/issues

–  Knowledge/experience - Vendor had trouble keeping up with their growth and expanding services

–  Lack of visibility - Madison had no real-time visibility to cases and call reporting was poor

–  Timing/transition impact – Madison was not proactively looking to make a change and was concerned about freeing up resources on their end to assist

•  How it looks today with SecurityCoverage

–  Daily detailed call reporting and real-time access to cases via the Partner Portal

–  Committed management team that delivers on what they promise: 83% service level, 43 second average speed of answer with < 5% abandons projected to date

–  Transition went smoothly; the technical team understood their business with little investment to get them started

–  Enhanced service; customers have noticed a change (for the better)!

Case Study #3

Enhanced service; customers have noticed a change (for the better)!

•  Dynamic local and national news content helped drive traffic to their Web site

•  Created prime advertising space

–  For their products and services

“The SecurityCoverage Customer Portal (Premium Portal) has allowed us to provide our users with the exact content we have been looking to provide. The transition from our previous site was an easy process and the staff at

SecurityCoverage was instrumental in helping us with a smooth implementation.”
