Why is Service Management Important?
The answer is clear: āIt costs 5-7 times more to create a new customer, than to retain a loyal customer.ā
A lot of organizations focus on the old notion that it costs 5-7x more to get a new customer, but in doing so, they lose focus on what really mattersāconnecting with customers and delivering (service) value ā now and in the future. The most successful organizations find a balance between the two costs.
The infographic of Signalmind says it all. A 10% increase in customer retention can yield a 30% increase in value of a company. And repeat customers spend on average 33% more than new customers. Obviously, quality services delivering service value contributes to retaining customers.
Effective and efficient service management throughout an entire organization continuously increases the quality and the value of your services.
