If a company hasn’t yet realized the importance of Customer Experience, then they probably never will. That said, while a company can claim to put the customer at the heart of everything it does, there is a lot that organisations are missing out on by not having their people and practices assessed and improved through some expert external validation and guidance.
IIC can offer a range of services to assist you in developing both your internal practices and people to ensure you are taking the most effective approach to delivering the best customer experience.
• CX mentoring: Alongside our partners, we’ll develop bespoke training programmes that enable you to energise and empower your employees and build trust with your customers.
• Advice & Guidance: Real change comes from the inside. Our team of experts will work with you to build a positive workplace culture and a cohesive identity that will power you towards hitting your strategic goals.
• Sales Training: We’ll develop your sales skills through highly bespoke training programmes. Through analysis and adjustment of your ways of working you'll deliver better transactions with your customer – in offline and online environments.
• Ambassador Programme: An integral part of employee engagement - our award winning training programme will upskill the members of your organisation that have the potential to be your most inspiring brand advocates.
• Closed Loop Implementation: Knowing how your customers rate you is part of the plan but following up on those ratings – good and bad – is an essential part of business success. We’ll guide you on implementing a plan to capture feedback in a timely manner.
• Customer Journey Mapping: Developing a smooth customer journey is no mean feat, and may require investment and internal change. Deliver it well however, and you have solved one of the most frequently criticised areas of customer experience. We can re-model the journey to place your customer at the heart.
• Marketing Strategy: Ensuring that your brand promise is delivered through every touchpoint is vital. Our highly skilled brand and creative strategists will ensure that all of your marketing – off and online – is truly integrated and mirror your customer-centric ambitions.
• Customer Purpose: A joined up and effective brand experience is the Holy Grail for most marketers. We strongly believe that brand and customer purpose are intrinsically linked. We’ll work with you to develop a customer purpose that really packs the punch.
We have worked with iiC for over 4 years now, the team are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and flexible and really work with you to help to make the assessment process as straightforward as possible. The in-depth analysis and insight obtained from the assessment is really valuable to help you understand any areas for improvement and to remain focussed on continuous improvement.
The scale and depth of insight provided through an IIC survey is invaluable. It highlights what you are doing well, and exactly how you can improve customer experience.
