What is Customer Focus? – In 30 seconds or less…

We call it Customer Focus, others call it a customer centric organization. Whatever terminology you wish to use, here's a short definition:

  • Customer Focus is about getting each and every one of your employees to look at their job through the eyes of your customers and understanding what they must do to add value.

  • Customer Focus is about continually listening to the voice of your customers, getting their input and feedback and using this information to make changes which they value – changes to your products and services and how you do business.

  • Customer Focus is about adding value at all levels of your organization – from IT to sales and the shop floor to customer service and every department in between.

  • Customer Focus is much more than good or great customer service...and it’s true Customer Focus that will give you a competitive advantage.

We not only explain each of these in greater detail but, more importantly, we also provide you with a detailed roadmap and clear directions on how to achieve each of these essential aspects of customer focus.

Your book is simply excellent!" Ellise F. - Chicago

Assess your current level of Customer Focus for free!

How Customer-Focused Are You?

You may be thinking that you and your organization are quite customer-focused. You are not alone and you may be right. Consider this...

 

In a survey conducted by Bain & Company 362 firms were assessed. Eighty (80) percent believed they had a high level of customer focus and delivered a "superior experience" to their customers. But when their customers were asked about their own perceptions, they found that they rated only 8 percent of companies as truly delivering a superior experience.

 

In the world of customer focus, whose perception is more important? Obviously, the customer’s perception. In a highly competitive marketplace can we afford to take any chances?

 

If you are not sure how Customer-Focused your company is, why not join the 2000+ companies that have completed this exceptional online assessment tool. It only takes a few minutes, it's completely unbiased, it's confidential and you will get immediate feedback once you complete it.
