Customer feedback puts the wind in SCA’s sails in the Volvo Ocean Race

As part of the SCA global marketing programme, they have entered a boat into the Volvo Ocean Race, a round-the-world yacht race, with an entirely female crew. To find out how race visitors view SCA and its brand presence, a number of different visitor surveys have been set up targeting a range of target markets. During the leg between Newport and Lisbon, I managed to have a chat with Nina Ekstrand, Brand & Marketing Director of Team SCA Ocean Racing, to learn more about how they are using feedback from customers and the public in the Volvo Ocean Race.

A lack of time is no excuse for deprioritising customer loyalty

“No, there’s no time to measure and analyse customer loyalty. We have to focus on preventing churn.” I hear variations on this statement every now and then from representatives of various company management teams. A lack of time is a modern phenomenon suffered by most companies. However, the argument above is like putting a plaster on an injury and hoping it will get better instead of trying to heal it from within. Knowing what makes customers leave is always better than taking a chance, and yet many managers still believe that customer loyalty surveys have to be time-consuming and large-scale. This is not true. It depends on how they are done. The entire process can be done automatically now.

Why you should get the work council on board when conducting employee surveys

Even though you as an HR Manager know about the advantages of employee surveys and about the value they bring for the whole organization, persuading efforts might be necessary before you start a survey. Especially if employee surveys are not yet well established in your company, it is most likely that you meet opposition: The work council might have concerns about data security, the staff worries about anonymity and their jobs and maybe the management does not back the project assuming high costs and low benefits.

5 good points to consider if you really want to start measuring customer feedback

Successful businesses put their customers at the centre of their corporate culture and they always start with the customer’s best interest in mind when developing processes, products or services. Customer data can help you better understand and use segmentation to identify your best customers. Product and service development should always be made for the best customers – they are loyal and engaged in what you do. But you need to be attentive and listen closely to what your best customers have to say, otherwise they will feel disregarded and will soon be found in your competitor’s nest. Here are a few tips for you to consider if you want to put your customers’ voice at the core of your organisation.
