Course Summary

Brand loyalty is essential for a successful business. It means that your customers are completely satisfied with your offer and will continue returning to your company to purchase again. If a customer receives great service, they’re also likely to tell other people they know that you’ve done a great job or even leave good reviews online or on social media, which is a great way of achieving organic marketing. 

 

To ensure you continue to increase brand loyalty and keep customers coming through your doors, you need to focus company-wide on customer satisfaction. To achieve this, you should involve every person in your business and emphasise the importance of good customer service. Even those people who aren’t typically customer-facing will need to understand their role in the customer journey. 

 

Customer journey mapping is an excellent way to increase brand loyalty. Looking back on past pain points and revisiting the customer's journey through your service is a great way to pick out areas where your service needs improvement. Handling the smaller points and making strategic changes could be the difference between a negative review and a positive one. 

 

It’s also important to rectify customer complaints well. Things go wrong in every service, but if your team, from top to bottom, understands how to resolve a complaint properly, then that customer may even commend you for your dedication to their needs. Creating a customer focus throughout your business is the best way to achieve brand loyalty. 


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

 

  • Improve your brand loyalty by creating a company-wide focus on customer service. 
  • Create effective customer journey maps to identify pain points in your processes. 
  • Develop strategic project plans to aim for continuous improvement. 
  • Create loyalty schemes to generate customer interest. 
  • To understand customer segmentation and offer what your customers want. 
  • Train your employees from the top down to consider the customer journey in everything they do. 
  • Focus on customer interaction and offer different methods of contact based on their needs. 
  • Reach out to customers for feedback to help improve your brand for the future. 

This course is designed for anyone who is responsible for the continuous improvement of the customer journey within a company or needs to create valuable project plans focused on customer satisfaction. It would be most beneficial for:

 

  • Business Owners
  • Directors
  • Executives
  • IT Personnel
  • Operations Managers
  • Team Leaders
  • Project Planners
  • Change and Control Managers
  • Frontline Customer Service Teams

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid understanding and comprehension. Participants will watch videos to understand the impacts of good and bad customer service and how these affect brand loyalty. Group discussions and activities will allow participants to create innovative loyalty schemes to encourage more conversion and develop appropriate methods of tracking and monitoring these schemes to develop a customer segmentation matrix. 


Role-playing activities will also be implemented to review communication styles against the customer journey and identify pain points where changes should be made to develop more positive customer satisfaction survey results.
