Customer intimacy is essential for success


Innovative culture promotes a culture of driving customer success & satisfaction - Mike A.

It’s a fact that no one-product can satisfy the needs of customers.  Organizations that focus on customer intimacy try to find a total solution that encompasses a unique range of superior service to maximize the benefit from the product offered.[1]  A company can maintain intimacy with its customers by:
  1. Knowing its customers and gaining detailed knowledge about them and their needs and habits
  2. Increase solutions offered
  3. Enhance share of targeted customer spending
  4. Provide customer information and data to employee so they can better engage and serve the customer
  5. Promote a culture of driving client success
  6. Strive to create long term relationships with clients

A customer-intimate organization should have a strategy to reach different types of customers.  A rigid one-size-fit-all model should be substituted for a dynamic, rich culture to engage all types of customers.
