Q

Selective client-aquisition policies

A

This approach assumes that not every potential client is worth the client-aquisition investment

It is critical because it often costs more to acquire a new client than to retain one, and the majority of the potential client base are not very profitable

Q

Client-aquisition rules

A

Rule 1: Acquire any client as long as the discounted future value of the client exceeds the acquisition costs for that client.
Rule 2: When you broaden the acquisition effort, be prepared for lower response rates
Rule 3: The greater its profit from retention, the greater a company’s client-aquisition investment should be
Rule 4: The bigger the percentage of the initial acquisition investment that a company recovers in the first period, the greater its acquisition investment should be.

Q

Rule 1

A

A company should continue to invest until it can no longer cover its investment on the last incremental client

Q

Rule 3

A

The greater the retention rate or the higher the add-on selling potential, the more a company can invest in future clients

If future profits from a client are high, then the company can afford to lose more on its initial investment to acquire the client

Q

Rule 4

A

Early returns determine the risk level of the investment

Although a discount rate can be used to adjust for risk, most managers prefer faster payoff investments because of the uncertainty of the future

Q

Full throttle

A

High-retention profit potential combined with short-term investment recovery makes now client acquisition a major opportunity

The company invests as much as possible in acquisition until the NPV of the marginal client is negative

The risk of this strategy is low, and its return is high

Q

Pay As You Go

A

Most appropriate when retention/profit potential is low and acquisition-investment recovery time is short.

Short-term profit goals drive the company’s investment

Q

Divest/Restructure

A

A company must restructure its marketing system

Client acquisition will not pay out because the initial payback is low, and retention and add-on sales are low

The company will not be profitable in the long run, and it will have very low client equity

66
Q

Retention

A

The proportion of clients remaining active with the institution over the period of time in question

67
Q

Defection

A

Losing the client to a competitor

Detection in one product area can not be assumed to mean the failure of the relationship

68
Q

Dormancy

A

The client is not contacted; inactive

Measuring levels of dormancy requires a clear definition that will need to take into account the nature of the product and the way in which clients use it

Clients make their policies paid up or stop contributing to certain investments, but will allow their financial planning service to fall into disuse

69
Q

Retention vs. Defection

A

Lapsing a policy or not continuing to pay premiums can be the most emphatic indication that a client wishes to sever his relationship with you, but this does not necessarily imply defection

One product: Client retention will be a simple measure of continued product use

Several products: defection/dormancy in one product area does not necessarily constitute client defection/dormancy, so in pure retention terms, the relationship still exists

70
Q

Measure client flows

A
  1. Measure new client gains
  2. Measure product (cross-sell) gains from existing clients
  3. Measure loss from clients that have defected
  4. Measure the number of clients that were inactive during the year

  3. What is the active product holding at this time?
  4. What was the active product holding 12 months ago?
  5. What are the retention rates of the client and of the products?
72
Q

Client defection

A

An important source of future business growth and profit

73
Q

74
Q

  2. Staff attitudes can change so that messages communicated to clients become more positive
75
Q

Uncontrollable reasons

A

Are more difficult to handle

They result from a multitude of events, many of which affect the clients, causing them to sever their financial planning relationships, but over which the financial planner arguably has control

Some are not necessarily as emphatically outside our influence as others would appear to be

76
Q

Examples of “the uncontrollables”

A
  1. Death of a client (but you can establish the “special financial services needs” for the bereaved and their family)
  2. The breakdown of a client’s marriage

81
Q

Factors in the process of delivering services to create loyalty

A

  2. Proactive post-sales service (PPS): a supplier takes the initiative to contact a customer to provide service after a sale is complete. Leads to faster service delivery

Q

How relationships are eroded

A

It is usually the continual dripfeed of a succession of small mistakes that leads to the collapse of a relationship

84
Q

Important factors in eroding relationships

A
  1. The magnitude of any particular incident
  2. Its relative frequency
85
Q

Probability of client defection

A

These circumstances will be a function of the SEVERITY and FREQUENCY of the individual results

If the severity of these events is such thar it has a major impact on the client relationship, it will need only a few such occurrences to bring the client to the point of defection

Inversely proportional to the historical life of the relationship

86
Q

Organizational behaviors under strategies for client retention

A
  1. Consider your company’s appearance and grooming
  2. Invite customers to sit beside a desk with the employee instead of across from them
  3. Get customers to interact with your business

  5. Correspond regularly
  6. Introduce reward systems that motivate appropriate employee behaviors

Q

Why is quality service important?

A
  1. 90% of all client contact comes through support staff. If these employees are not committed to developing client relationships, or have not been provided with adequate information and have not been sufficiently empowered, there is a very strong possibility that their extensive contact with the clients will have a negative effect on overall relationships.
  2. Services are transient, whereas goofs have a more permanent nature. Services are performances. Quality of service can, therefore, occur in real time.

  2. The total quality concept should influence both the process elements and the people elements in the total product offering.
