Forrester: Transform Customer Processes And Systems To Improve Experiences

Ask any company what’s something that they could improve on, and chances are their answer will have something to do with their customers. Maybe the company’s processes aren’t in line with customers’ expectations, or maybe it’s been a challenge to optimize the customer experience.

With increased scrutiny on businesses in this “age of the customer”, the entire customer experience is more imperative than ever. To keep up, companies have to have the right strategies in place to transform their customer-facing business.

This February 2018 report from Forrester highlights just how much power customers have. In order to gain a competitive advantage, companies need to develop their customer relationship management (CRM) to provide support on the customers’ terms. As noted in the report, Forrester provides a playbook that can help companies with their CRM efforts by:

-Articulating the value of CRM in business terms

-Set a strategy for CRM operations

-Execute the strategy

-Measure and improve CRM operations
