High customer loyalty is one of the most important indicators of good performing companies. Since customer satisfaction is directly linked to customer loyalty it is evidentthat measuring customer satisfaction without taking customer loyalty into account and vice versa would be misleading.
This is best done using a causal model approach where the drivers of satisfaction as well as its resulting effects on loyalty are explicitly introduced.
The approach outlined in this presentation offers such a framework.
Customer Satisfaction & Loyalty

What gets measured….gets done!
“Where there is individual accountability, things get done.
What get measured creates accountability. With no standard
reliable customer satisfaction metric, employees can’t be
held accountable for them and relationships gets lost in
shadows.”
“As far as customers are concerned you are the company.
This is not a burden, but the core of your job.
You hold in your hands the power to keep customers coming back,
perhaps even to make or break the company.”
Focus your core intention on doing the right things.

Customer Satisfaction and loyalty?Start Listening to Your Customer!
There will always, one can assume, be need for some selling. But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous.
The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells it self.
Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy. All that should be needed then is to make the product or service available.
(Kotler)

Customer Satisfaction & LoyaltyFirst Some facts to be aware of….
It is a highly personal matter for the customer, which is influenced by a number of factors.
Customer satisfaction is directly linked to customer loyalty, hence it is evident that measuring customer satisfaction without taking customer loyalty into account andvice versa would be misleading.
Customer satisfaction is a multidimensional concept; what is needed is:1. a way of measuring customer satisfaction in an inter-relational Environment…2. where relevant factors for determining satisfaction and also loyalty are measured
simultaneously.
Measurement of customer satisfaction thus needs to take a number of interrelated factors into account. This is best done using a causal model approach where the drivers of satisfaction as well as its resulting effects on loyalty are explicitly introduced.
High customer loyalty is one of the most important indicators of good performingcompanies.

Secondly, What is Customer Satisfaction?
Satisfaction represents a veritable key of modeling the acquisition behavior of the customer, being supported by three groups of variables:
1. Cognitive variables, based on the qualitative superiority of the products given by the performance.
2. Affective variables, based on the emotions produced to the customers.
3. Conative variables, based on the interaction between the provider and the customer in the buying act.
Customer satisfaction is an overall customer attitude towards a
service provider, or an emotional reaction to the difference between
what customers anticipate and what they receive, regarding the
fulfillment of some need, goal or desire.

General Characteristics of Customer Satisfaction.
General characteristics involve features or qualities related to customer satisfaction serving to identify this phenomenon among other customer relationship management propositions.
1. Customer satisfaction is a highly variable personal assessment that is greatly influenced by individual expectations based on his/her own information, expectations, direct contact and interaction, and circumstances (time, location and environment).
2. Customer satisfaction involves the sum of personal (product and service) experiences driven by its antecedents.
3. Customer satisfaction is most often related to purchase, loyalty and retention behavior with a effect on an organizations profitability.
a. A totally satisfied customer contributes 2.6 times as much revenue to a company as a somewhat satisfied customer.
b. A totally satisfied customer contributes 17 times as much revenue as a somewhat dissatisfied customer.
c. A totally dissatisfied customer decreases revenue at a rate equal to 1.8 times what a totally satisfied customer contributes to a business.
4. Customer satisfaction characterizes itself by a high degree of word-of-mouth where satisfied customers are most likely to share their experiences with other people to the order of perhaps five or six people. Equally well, dissatisfied customers are more likely to tell another ten people of their unfortunate experience.

General Criterion of Customer Satisfaction
1. A criterion for this purpose is seen as dimensions for the customers’ satisfaction assessment. I have drawn 23 criteria from the theory as studied.
2. The criteria can be classified in multiple groups which could fulfill a significant antecedent function in causal models towards customer satisfaction.

Promises you have made….
Positioning the brand in highly over-communicated B2B environments could easily fail when the minds of customers and prospect obviously get confused. Trout suspects that people discriminate information to access their mind as a self-defence mechanism. For this reason, management needs to understand five mental elements in the positioning process, to position the brand successful in the mind of customers and prospects (Trout, 1995:3-8)
1. Minds are limited2. Minds hate confusion3. Minds are insecure4. Minds don't change5. Minds can lose focus

Customer Information & Feedback
The level of analysis is high and gives good guide to your business eg:
– Identifying why customers choose your product/service
– Image, branding and positioning in the mind of customers (USP match or mismatch)
– Pricing levels (perceived value for money)
– Perceived level of customer service
– Possible gaps in product and/or service line-up
– Extent of customer satisfaction and maybe even more important the reason why
– Extent of customer loyalty and maybe even more important the reason why
– Identifying customer future service and/or product and/or organizational needs
– Do you focus your core intention on doing the right things or on doing things right?
