1. A satisfied customer is a loyalcustomer
Most companies use the terms customer loyalty and satisfactioninterchangeably. In reality, satisfaction is not the same as loyalty andfocusing on drivers of satisfaction can be misleading for your loyaltyplans
Satisfied customers often switch when competitive offers
emerge or switching costs decrease. Not surprising, given
that satisfaction and loyalty show very little correlation.
First understand the drivers of loyalty, which could be very different
from drivers of satisfaction. Loyalty is an attitude that leads a customer
to consistently repurchase, increase spending and recommend yourbrand.

2.Loyalty efforts help you retainbusiness, not acquire new business
Loyalty efforts can support revenue growth through their impact onportfolio penetration, new product adoption and share of walletgrowth. This requires marketers to go beyond their preferred approachof merely eliminating issues that cause customer dissatisfaction.
Nearly three-fourths of customer experience investments are skewedtowards eliminating customer dissatisfiers as these are easier toidentify, justify expense and act on.
To leverage loyalty efforts for growth, you need to shift focus to
increasing loyalty (and not just reducing disloyalty) by creating
momentsof delight in customer experience and working with the objective of
increasing the likelihood of preference (instead of merely reducingrejecters).

3.Loyalty efforts should focus on theattributes that
customers say are most important
Customers usually consider the functional attributes of aproduct more important, but emotional attributes are muchmore important in driving loyalty.
The ability of a brand to differentiate itself on emotionalattributes can lead to a 60% greater impact on loyalty.
High-loyalty brands deliberately over-invest in emotional
attributes. To achieve emotional differentiation, high-loyaltybrands identify those
emotional attributes"shared values"they can own.

will result in loyaltyImprovements in loyalty from loyalty programmes are
fleeting unless programmes can be made exclusive
Marketeers can expect to see a 6% positive boost in
loyalty from programme membership. However, thepositive effects wear off as consumers join competitiveprogrammes
Rather than focus on programme penetration, lean
towards programme exclusivity. Concentrate on acquiringcategory entrants and stealingnot sharingprogrammemembers

5. Developing personal relationshipswith customers is the best way for
sales to drive loyaltyThe true potential of sales interactions is in leading the
customer to learn something new, as this has the greatestimpact on customer loyalty.
The traditional role of sales representativesdevelopingdeeper relationships with customers and responding well totheir requestsactually has very little impact on developingloyalty. These attributes contribute to just about 1% impacton loyalty. Teaching customers about the category hassignificantly higher impact (nearly 8% impact on loyalty).
Do not underestimate the power of the sales interaction todrive customer loyalty. Equip your sales representative toteach customers and not just serve or sell to them.

6. Employees who dont face customerscannot
affect customer loyalty
Marketing usually sees itself as the sole guardian of loyalty initiativesand thus rarely involves other line functions in loyalty programmes.Involving other functions can not only drive loyalty, but also result inother benefits
Empowering employees who dont face customers not only improved
loyalty scores but also enhanced employee satisfaction scores by 14percentage points for a leading company.
Marketers should view their role as facilitators of customer loyaltyactivities in the organization and equip colleagues from other functionsto contribute to the process. Systematic customer immersion
programmes that enable staff to gain first-hand knowledge of acustomers experience can sensitize employees who dont facecustomers to the impact on customer loyalty, enabling improvementsin previously undervalued internal processes.
