    Customer Retention ManagementProcesses

    1: INTRODUCTION:

    The sole purpose of a business Peter Drucker (1973) once famously claimed was tocreate a

    customer. However, keeping the customer has become regarded as equally, ifnot more

    important, since Dawkins and Reichheld (1990) reported that a 5 per centincrease in customer

    retention generated an increase in customer net present value ofbetween 25 per cent and 95 per

    cent across a wide range of business environments.

    This finding generated a huge amount of interest and activity in academic andbusiness

    communities, as researchers and consultants attempted to examine and verifythese claims. There

    was a growing recognition that customers, like products, have alife-cycle that companies can

    attempt to manage. Customers are acquired, retained andcan be grown in value over time. They

    climb a value staircase (Gordon, 1998) or valueladder (Christopher et al., 1991) from suspect,

    prospect and first-time customer, tomajority customer and ultimately to partner or advocate

    status. A number of marketing scholars have begun to explore the link between the practicesof

    customer management and shareholder value (Doyle, 2000; Payne et al., 2001; Guptaet al.,

    2004). In particular, the connections between customer retention and shareholder value have

    been subject to scrutiny. Gupta et al. (2004), for example, found that a 1 percent increase in

    customer retention had almost five times more impact on firm value thana 1 per cent change in

    discount rate or cost of capital. As a result of this research, thebusiness case for marketers to

    focus on the management of customer retention isbecoming more clearly established. However,

    the mainstream marketing literature offersvery little guidance on specific managerial practices

    that are associated with high levelsof customer retention (DeSouza, 1992). This gap is the focus

    of our research.

    2: LITERARTURE REVIEW:

    Relationship marketingAlthough a number of authorities have suggested that relationship

    marketingrepresents a paradigm shift (Christopher et al., 1991; Sheth and Parvatiyar, 1995)

    froma longer established transactional orientation to customer management, Gronroos(2000, p.

    23) noted that the relational perspective on marketing is in fact older than thetransaction

    perspective in marketingand is probably as old as the history of tradeand commerce.

    Gronroos (2000, p. 22) concluded that the management of customerrelationships in business is

    not a new phenomenonalthough the term relationshipmarketing was only recently introduced to

    marketers by Berry (1983).

    For over 20 years there has been growing interest in relational aspects of customermanagement.

    Conventionally, relationship marketing has been seen to be particularlyrelevant to industrial

    (Hakanss, 1982; Ford, 1997) and service markets (Berry, 1983;

  • 8/12/2019 New Report of Propsal

    4/27

    4

    Gronroos, 1990). For example, business-to-business relationships have been found to

    berelatively stable and enduring, and to exhibit adaptation to the other partys requirements

    (Ford, 1980). Adaptations act as structural bonds, and serve as investments in arelationship,

    which may or may not be recovered when a relationship breaks down

    (Turnbull and Valla, 1986). In many service environments there is face-to-face

    interactionbetween service providers and customers from which social bonds may develop.

    Arelational perspective fits well within these contexts, where there is an opportunity

    forcompanies to promote longer customer tenure, and gain the associated economic benefits.

    However, research by Nicole Coviello and her colleagues has called into question these

    conventional beliefs about relationship marketing. Coviello et al. (1997, 2001,2002) have

    developed an empirically-derived taxonomy of marketing practices thecontemporary marketing

    practices (CMP) framework which generally supports theidea that relational aspects of

    marketing are implemented in all types of firms(Coviello et al., 2002, p. 42, emphasis added).

    Of the five forms of marketing identified intheir research, four database marketing, network

    marketing interaction marketingand e-marketing have a strong relational component. The fifth

    form is transactionalmarketing which is more widely practise in manufacturing firms than

    service firms,and consumer rather than business-to-business firms (Coviello et al., 2002). The

    CMPresearch program confirms the ubiquity of relational approaches to customermanagement

    across all commercial environments: business-to-business,business-to-consumer, manufacturers

    and service producers. Customer retention

    Customer retention has been shown to be a primary goal in firms that practicerelationship

    marketing (Gronroos, 1991; Coviello et al., 2002). While the precisemeaning and measurement

    of customer retention can vary between industries and firms (Aspinall et al., 2001) there appears

    to be a general consensus that focusing oncustomer retention can yield several economic benefits(Dawkins and Reichheld, 1990;

    Reichheld, 1996; Buttle, 2004). As customer tenure lengthens, the volumes purchasedgrow and

    customer referrals increase. Simultaneously, relationship maintenance costsfall as both customer

    and supplier learn more about each other. Because fewercustomers churn, customer replacement

    costs fall. Finally, retained customers may payhigher prices than newly acquired customers, and

    are less likely to receive discountedoffers that are often made to acquire new customers. All of

    these conditions combine toincrease the net present value of retained customers. Lindgreen et al.

    (2000, p. 295), forexample, compute that it can be [up to] ten times more expensive to win a

    customerthan to retain a customer and the cost of bringing a new customer to the same levelof

    profitability as the lost one is up to 16 times more..

    Given the opportunity afforded by the four relationally-oriented forms of marketingidentified by

    the CMP research team, and the economic arguments in favor of customerretention, we became

    interested in examining how companies actually managed theircustomer retention processes. A

    number of organizational processes can be associatedwith customer retention, including the

    following: customer satisfaction measurementprocess, customer retention planning process,quality assurance process, win-backprocesses and the complaints-handling process. Our research,

    however, focuses on twoof these processes: the customer retention planning process and

    thecomplaints-handling process, for reasons explained below. We investigate which ofthese two

    processes is more strongly associated with excellent customer retentionoutcomes.

    Customer-retention planning process. The notion that companies should engage inplanning if

    they want to achieve desired business outcomes is deeply embedded inmodernist management

    literature. Kotler (2003), forexample write that successful companies. . . practice the art ofmarket-oriented strategic planning, with the clearimplication that failure can be traced to

    artlessness in planning disciplines. Mostmarketing management texts contain material on the

    development aimplementation of marketing plans. Although critics of the strategic planning

    schoolsuch as Mintzberg (2000) promote a more fluid and emergent approach to strategy,

    Miller and Cardinals (1994) review of management research finds that formal

    planningprocessesinvolving executive responsibility and budgeting are generallyassociated

    with better business performance.There has been very little specific research into the

    development and content ofcustomer retention plans, per se (DeSouza, 1992). However, there

    have been somereports indicative of the relative weight attached to customer retention budgets.

    According to Weinstein (2002, p. 259) most companies spend a majority of their time,energy

    and resources chasing new business. He suggests that 80% or more ofmarketing budgets are

  • 8/12/2019 New Report of Propsal

    6/27

    6

    often earmarked for getting new business(Weinstein, 2002, p. 260) Thisis in line with Payne

    and Frown(1999) finding that only 23 per cent ofmarketing budgets in UK organizations is

    spent on customer retention. Aspinall et al.(2001), in contrast, found that 54 per cent of

    companies reported that customerretention was more important than customer acquisition.

    Our research tests three hypotheses grounded on these modernist principles ofmanagement. We

    specify these later, but broadly we expect companies that have adocumented customer retention

    plan, or a dedicated budget or an executive with Customer-retention planning process. The

    notion that companies should engage inplanning if they want to achieve desired business

    outcomes is deeply embedded inmodernist management literature. Kotler (2003), for example,

    management to generate better customerretention outcomes than companies that have none of

    these characteristics. Thus, weexamine the impact of fundamental planning structures and

    processes on customerretention outcomes.

    Customer retention metrics and segments. Despite the scarcity of research intocustomer retention

    planning, investigators and commentators have begun to reporton a number of related questions,

    such as how to define and measure customerretention, how to segment customers for customer

    retention efforts, and whatstrategies to employ to recover at-risk or lost customers. We review

    some of thatresearch now, and later we report some of our own descriptive data connected to

    thisbody of knowledge.Aspinall et al. (2001) investigated the issue of definition and

    measurement ofcustomer retention. They found that customer retention was particularly an issue

    inlarger companies, and those serving business-to-business markets, but that relativelyfew

    respondents [whatever their served markets] claimed to have an agreed definitionof customer

    retention(Aspinall et al., 2001, p. 83). Nonetheless, more than half therespondents in their

    survey stated that they measured customer retention. Clearly theabsence of measurable indicators

    makes it harder to gauge the impact of strategyimplementation. Buttle (2004) found that

    companies can employ one or more of severaltypes of retention-related KPIs raw, sales-

    adjusted, or profit-adjusted customerretention metrics. Companies that adopt raw customer

    retention metrics focus on theretention of a given percentage or number of customers, regardless

    of value. Companies that use sales- or profit-adjusted retention metrics will focus their efforts

    oncustomers that generate higher levels of sales or profit. Coyles and Gorkeys (2002)research

    also notes the significance of focusing on the retention of profitable customers,than all

    customers. They suggest that it may be more important for companiesto focus on managing the

    overall downward migration of customer spending thancustomer retention in its own right. They

    note that many more customers change theirbehavior than defect, so the former typically

    account for larger changes in value(Coyles and Gorkey, 2002, p. 80). They report the case of

    one bank that lost 3 per cent ofits total balances when 5 per cent of checking account customers

    defected in a year, butlost 24 per cent of its total balances when 35 per cent of customers reduced

    the amountsdeposited in their checking accounts. The need to manage migration rather

    thandefection is particularly true when customers engage in portfolio purchasing bytransacting

    with more than one supplier.

    Another question that researchers have attempted to answer concerns the focus of customer

    retention efforts (Koch, 1998; Ganesh et al., 2000). Shouldretention of every customer be the

    goal, or should retention efforts be focused onsubsets or even individuals? A report by

    PricewaterhouseCoopers (2002) observes thatpoor management of customer churn is a major

    value destroyer and that the key toprevention is to predict and avert attrition of the right

    customers. The rightcustomersare those that contribute most significantly to the achievement

    of thecompanys objectives. The implication of there being rightand wrongcustomers

    toretain is that companies are advised to segment their customer base for retentionefforts in much

    the same way that they would segment the market for acquisition efforts (Weinstein, 2002).

    Evans (2002) suggests that the right customers are those withthe highest residual lifetime valu

    Problem statement:

    Statistics released by the Life Offices Association (2007), indicated that in the second half of

    2006, surrenders of policies increased. Lapsed premiums also increased by 18% compared to the

    previous half-year, and by 31%compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The purpose of

    CRM is to increase customer satisfaction, improve customer perception of service quality and

    increase customer loyalty (Baran et al., 2008: 397). CRM applied correctly leads to customer

    loyalty, and loyal customers are usually more profitable (Grnroos, 2003:

    To retain existing customers in the current economic climate where customers acancelling their

    short-term insurance policies because of the unsure economic future, short-term insurance

    organisations will have to understand how two-way communication and conflict handling

    through the application of CRM can contribute to customer loyalty. Larger portions of long-term

    customers than short-term customers exhibit high profitability, therefore the theory of an overall

    positive connection between customer loyalty and profitability cannot be rejected (Leverin and

    Liljander, 2006: 235). Short-term insurance organisations will not be able to survive for much

    longer in the competitive short-term insuranceindustry, battling the global recession, if they do

    not understand the importance of these two variables influencing their CRM and how they can

    improvecustomer loyalty. The article will focus on the importance for short-term insurance

    organisations, to better understand the need for CRM and how that will lead tocustomer loyalty.

    METHODOLOGY

    Our methodology involved gathering data by mail-administered survey of a stratifiedrandom

    sample of companies. Details of the sampling strategy, data collectionmethods, instrument

    development and analysis follow.

    Data Analysis:

    Sampling

    Since all companies in all sectors have been found to implement relational aspects ofmarketing

    (Coviello et al., 2002), our population of interest was the full range ofprimary, secondary

    (manufacturing) and tertiary (service) sectors of industry. Astratified random sample of 732

    companies was selected from the Dun and Bradstreetdatabase of the top 1,000 companies in

    Australia. The population was stratified intothree annual turnover groups: $50 to $99 million,

    $100 to $500 million, and above $500million.

    Data collection methods:

    A mail questionnaire was developed. Following an initial telephonesolicitation to participate, the

    instrument was mailed to the sample. Follow-up calls andreminders were issued after one month.

    The invitation to participate was addressed tothe person in charge of customer relations,

    customized by name where this was known.

    We encouraged response by offering a summary report of the study. This has nowbeen

    distributed to respondents.

    Instrument

    Items in the instrument were developed from the literature review, andpiloted and refined over

    several versions of the questionnaire. The majority of thequestions measuring the independent

  • 8/12/2019 New Report of Propsal

    11/27

    11

    variables were nominal in nature, and requiredyes, no, or do not knowresponses. These

    questions investigated the presence orabsence of a range of customer retention management

    practices, objectives and tactics.

    As is clear in the hypotheses, we wanted to identify management practicesassociated with

    excelling at customer retention. In the questionnaire, this dependentvariable, excellence at

    customer retention, was operationalized thus: In the last 12company metyour expectations?

    This variable was measured on a seven-point metric scale,anchored at three points. The point 1

    anchor read greatly under-performedexpectations, the mi point (point 4) read met

    expectationsand the point 7 anchorwasgreatly exceeded expectations. When a company

    reported that their expectationshad been exceeded, this was recoded as excellent at

    customerretention. Even though the dependent variable was measured on an interval scale (1-

    7),non-parametric procedures were used throughout because all the independent variables were

    measured on nominal scales (yes, no, do notknow);

    Limitation of the study:

    There are two notable limitations to this study. First, it was conducted in a singlegeographic

    region, and the results therefore may not transfer into a differentgeography. Second, it employs

    self-reports from executives charged with responsibilitymanaging customer relationships.Their

    self-reports have not been objectivelycorroborated.
