Haven’t we heard “customer is the king”. Steve Jobs famously said “Get closer than ever to your customers. So close that you tell them what they need well before they realise it themselves”. Today, companies are putting customers at the core of their business and adopting strategies to become truly customer-centric. While many companies believe that customer centricity is important only 14% of the marketers says that it is the hallmark of their companies (as per CMO council report) because some companies don’t have the systems and technology to segment and profile customers.

What is a customer-centric company?

A customer-centric company creates a culture around customers’ needs and demands. A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.

Such companies know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits them and sells itself. A customer-centric company follows customer-centric practices through all stages of business; right from the awareness stage to purchasing and post-purchase of a product.

Top customer-centric strategies

• Time: Respecting customer’s time goes a long way in creating long-lasting relationships. Studies reveal that 64% of customers expect real-time interactions.
• Interaction-channels: Use interaction modes that are popular with customers. The channel preferences that are currently in demand include social listening, live chats, discussion forums, AI enabled bots, Feedback surveys and many more.
• Personalize: Statistics reveal that 90[i]% of customers find personalization appealing. From content to emails to products and even more, the consumer is absolutely driven by personalized experiences. Personalized decision-making helps you gain competitive edge among your competitors.
• Asynchronous messaging: Traditional ways of customer-service such as phone calls, emails, live chats are a passé. Asynchronous messaging gives the flexibility to your customers to get notified of your response and respond accordingly.
• Self-service: Self-service is extremely gratifying for customers. Self-service is time-efficient, involves fewer errors and customers love to solve their problems independently.
