How do we build loyalty? What drives customer loyalty?
Performance - Expectations = Satisfaction = Loyalty
What I What I thought I’m satisfied I’ll continue got I would get to buy from
this company
“Is it this simple?”
3. Recovering from Service Failures
Minimizing complaints is the wrong goal. Enlightened managers try to encourage complaints (feedback).
The majority of unhappy customer do not complain. Why not?
1. Too much hassle. It’s easier to go elsewhere.
2. Don’t think it will make any difference.
3. Feel the problem is their own fault.
4. Do not have assertive personality.
Managers must make it easy for customersto complain. How?
1. Actively, not passively, seek customer feedback.
2. Ask customers for specifics. (“What could we havehave done to make this a better experience for you?” ratherthan “How is everything?”)
3. Thank and/or reward customers for feedback.
4. Follow-up with customers on what was done asa result of their complaint.
What to do when things go wrong
1. Give distributive justice(What did customer get?)
2. Give procedural justice(What procedure did s/he have to follow to get it?)
3. Give interactional justice.(How was the customer treated?)
Good Luck ! May you:
1. Make, keep and enable promises to customers,
2. With whom you have good relationshipsand who are loyal, but,
3. Who tell you about it when they are unhappyso that you may recover from service failure.
