The Metrics
CRM Metrics The Right Questions
•Common Mistake : Customer Service Performance KPI are based on the quantifiable rather than the true level of satisfaction of the Customer
• New KPI should more accurately reflect whether or not the Customer actually feels that they've received a level of service that meets their needs.
• "Are you satisfied with the responses to your queries?" •"Were your questions answered adequately and professionally?" •"Is there anything else we can help you with today?”

Risks
RISKS
“All large gains arise from a bet against poor odds” Paul Strassman
“80% of sales and marketing automation projects will meet or exceed expectations provided that expectations are defined up front and you do your homework first” Barton Goldenberg
RISKS
Assessing the impact of risk shows how to ‘do your homework first’ to minimise risk and gives four techniques to quantify the impact of risk on the business case.Strategy/process consulting: initial cost (try to negotiate on a success fee basis to share risk?) plus budget for more process improvements after the pilot and after rollout.Configuration, interfaces and installation: initial cost (try to negotiate on a success fee basis to share risk) plus budget for more configuration and interface work both after the pilot and after rollout.Productivity lag is the cost of the time spent by your staff being trained, understanding the system, changing the way they do things and ascending the learning curve. A particular risk is that sales staff spend time providing informal support to other users, configuring the system etc. The costs will be a mixture of reduced administrative efficiency (overtime payments) and possible reductions or delays in achieving forecast sales.
Risk Identification and Risk Quantification are sometimes combined and called Risk Assessment or Risk Analysis. Risk Response Development is also known as Risk Mitigation. Risk Response Development and Risk Response Control are sometimes combined and called Risk Management.
Identifying and Managing Risks
Eight errors, which have caused most of the failures in sales, marketing or customer service systems projects undertaken to date:1. The system users2. The processes3. Speed of change4. Politics and vested interests5. Mobile systems6. Over-reliance on unproven CRM project methodologies7. The need for rework8. Inadequate funding
Risks come and go; for each one that goes there will be another two waiting to take its place. Therefore risk management has to be ongoing and contingency plans in place.
Quantifying the impact of risk and intangibles
To get a better fix on the impact of intangibles, here are four techniques that work and are easy to understand:Analyse the costs and benefits twice: using the most optimistic/most pessimistic estimates in turn. The aim here is to identify how sensitive the cost benefit analysis is to your assumptions on the monetary value of, for example, improved customer loyalty. Use probability theory to estimate the expected value of costs and benefits: If you are unsure about the extent of future costs and benefits but a number of possible outcomes are likely, you can use probability theory to calculate their value on a weighted average basis.Identify the cost of achieving the intangible benefits: This method works back from the known costs and benefits to identify the residual level of cost that can not be justified by the quantified benefits.Use a high cost of capital to compensate for risk: This is the least preferable method. The argument goes that the cost of capital for a project should take account of inflation and the risk premium required by investors.
Risk Management Strategies
A number of alternative strategies are available when planning risk responses, These are:1. Avoidance — seeking to eliminate uncertainty.2. Transfer — seeking to transfer ownership and/or liability to
a third party.3. Mitigate — seeking to reduce the size of the risk exposure
below an acceptable threshold.4. Accept — recognizing residual risks and devising responses
to control or monitor them.
Comparing different Packages
ROI !!
•A cheaper way to waste time than making long distance calls – at work!•What makes it cumbersome- challenges?
• Enterprise Wide Impact• Effects both revenue & costs – at many profit and cost
centers• Often strategic impetus than tactical• It gets you Competitive Advantage- that’s intangible• Faster decision making, one point info – Hard to
quantify• Timeframe for assessment? – Perpetual Annuity
Framework to assess ROI
•Return ÷ Investment %•INVESTMENT • Calculating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)• One time costs – Software license, hardware, system
integration, training, change management costs, etc• Ongoing costs - AMC, ongoing training, consultant
charges, license renewal fees, etc.
• GARTNER SAYS : A majority of businesses are going to underestimate the costs of CRM by as much as 40-75 %
Returns
•Defining METRICS for measurable returns• Set feasible goals and KPIs• Classify returns – break it down to granular KPI levels
•Say• Revenue Enhancements• Margin Enhancements• Cost reductions (remember this is different from cost)• Time gain and thus labor hours and money saved• Other benefits
A Closer look at Returns
•Revenue Enhancements• Increase in Sales (sales, revenue/sale, inc. in close rates,
enhanced productivity, etc)• Improved Customer retention (red. In lost customers,
increase in re-order percentages)• Increased cross selling (no of products sold across product
lines/customer)• Less stock outs ( Calculate reduced loss due to immediate
ordering or calc lead time decrease * revenue saved per day)•Margin Enhancements
• Upsell more profitable models (analytics, customer pref. directed sales pitch)
A Closer look at Returns
•Cost Reductions• Reduced customer acquisition costs• Decrease in cost of sales
•Decreased cost to Retain and Serve customers, including:• Red. In Customer Service Representatives (CSRs)• Due to web interface, streamlines work flows, less call
times• Reduced telecommunications costs ((sales force using
web interface vs. long-distance faxes)• Fewer penalties due to more accurate servicing ( less
invoice inaccuracies, less fines)
A Closer look at Returns
•Other benefits• Improved brand equity
Can this be measured? May be increase in repurchase rates, referral programs can help measure this.
• Increased channel partner satisfaction Measure it through surveys, correlate changed perception
with business impactConvert business impact to measurable KPI based $$ impact !!
• Superior Market Intelligence Better forecasts thus better production and inventory planningNot all cost savings can be attributed to this but a part
• Product Development supportReduced number of pilot tests
A daunting task indeed !
•For analyzing returns, • Detailed Benchmarking• Determine TCO – OTC and Ongoing Costs • Have measurable feasible business goals in mind• Derive KPIs based on the 4 domains discussed for Returns –
• Yet, just a breather for the Consultant – CIO Cartel for the Green Signal !!
Where do CRM packages differ?
•No of user licenses in basic vs. Premium plans (renewal plans), AMC•On Demand OR On-premise•Infrastructure Requirements and costs thus•Consultancy charges•Adaptability to the business requirements ( additional modules needed or additional support needed?) - SUITABLE•Scalability? •Flexibility and obviously Fitness !
The Figures
ROI
Although the purpose of CRM is to form lasting relationships with customers, it's sometimes easy to lose sight of the fact that our focus on the relationship is meant for the purpose of making more money.
The goal of CRM - is to sell more and more vehicles at an overall lower operating expense.
ROI is all that matters in any type of marketing. In the end that is what CRM is: a form of marketing.Whatever the goals for CRM, the return on investment is the primary driver.John Wanamaker said it best- I know that half my marketing is wasted, I just don't know which half. Using a well executed CRM system, one will know which half, and be able to do more with the customers. This action is associated with the system and the sales and service team.
The latest study by IDC shows CRM projects yielding animmediate increase of 8% in revenuesa target growth of 16% within two yearsThis is for large projects with avg investment of 3.1million undertaken by large companies in Western Europe and US.
This minority saw – revenue increases of up to 42%sales costs decreases of as much as 35%sell cycle length reductions of 25%margin improvements of 2%customer satisfaction rating increases of as much as 20%
Some typical hard costs for small, medium and large automobile cos
A case example - AUDI
Audi’s emblem of four rings signifies one of Germany’s oldest established automobile manu-facturers.Founded by engineering visionary August Horch in 1909, the Audi name originated by translating Horch’s name, which means ‘listen’ in German, into Latin, ‘Audi’ (audio).With a commitment to implementing progressive technology,Audi became a globally respected producer of automobiles, most recently in the luxury sector.Today, Audi remains focused on satisfying customer needs by building a brand that exemplifies individuality, exclusivity and excellence.
AUDI
Audi believed redefining the customer experience through Customer Relationship Management(CRM) would unlock customer retention.
In 1999, the Board of Directors declared CRM an organizational core competency in order to develop the infrastructure needed to enhance marketing, sales and service across customer touchpoints.
Audi set out to build a central customer database and a plan to act on that data to spark the interactions required to meet customers’ needs.
Central to the plan was mySAP CRM, launched in April 2002.By using mySAP CRM to stimulate customer loyalty,Audi expects a 22% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) on its mySAP CRM investment
The ROI of CRM (AUDI)Measurable gains in the form of increased revenue contribution and improved productivity constituted the bulk of Audi’s return on its mySAP CRM investment.
While Audi launched mySAP CRM in 2002,benefits have been calculated starting in 2003 to allow for employee acclimatization to new processes and technology.
From this point, Audi had an IRR of 22% through 2005. The IRR is based on a net operating benefit of €9.5 million on a technology investment of approximately €4.5 million.
Audi’s mySAP CRM technology investment includes hardware, license fees, software, training and consulting services.
Audi’s annual operating costs, averaging approx-imately €1.4 million, stem from the ongoing hosting fees payable to a third-party hosting company.
Major Benefits from CRM Implementation
Benefits from CRM - QuantifiedIncreased contribution from more targeted lead generationUsing mySAP CRM to generate more targeted direct marketing campaigns,Audi is developing more qualified leads for dealers to cultivate. Audi anticipates this lead generation effort will result in a contribution of over €2.3million through 2005.
Cost-savings from retired legacy systemsBy replacing itscomplaint handling system with mySAP CRM,Audi was able to save costs of €400,000.
Productivity improvements from process optimizationSince the implementation of mySAP CRM, customer care representatives can access customer profiles that enable a more efficient interaction when responding to a customer inquiry. These process improvements will generate over €10 million through 2005.
Contribution from increased loyaltyWith the current functionality enabled by mySAP CRM, combined with future plans for dealer integration and global rollout, Audi calculates over €3.3 million increase in contribution through 2005, realizedaccording to the market situation.
