Ethnocentric Customer Centricity
This article is continued from Improve the customer experience by overcoming ethnocentric Customer Centricity article
An executive once told me that he would be happy if his company had only manufacturing and sales functions – only the minimum necessary to manufacture and sell solutions to customers. It was really commenting on the excessive concentration of waste to the inside and that tends to occur in business. Indeed, customers expect additional services around the solutions to buy: safety, quality, financing, improvement and innovation, and so on. And that is why companies exist – to manufacture and sell integrated solutions for customers. After all, is that customers who make our payroll dollars as possible! And really customer-centric companies keep that thought in the forefront, with pure main reasons to make it easier and more enjoyable for customers to get the solutions they need.
Customer Experience Management
Customer Experience Management (CEM) is an essential methodology to be a customer-centric company really. CEM provides an approach from outside to inside and pure motives to all groups within the company. It is the key to creating strong customer perception of competitive differentiation, customer advocacy as truly customer-centric spectrum covers the complete customer experience. CEM makes it easier and more enjoyable for customers to obtain and use solutions.
ethnocentric customer-centricity is easy to fall in! Enterpreneurs champions should be alert to prevent it. Outside-in reasons and prevention of waste and generate great results. The usefulness of any program to build customer relationships is exponential when we put aside ethnocentrism for true customer-centricity.
Customer Experience is Best Defined by Customers
The end customer experience has a wide range of interpretations. For some people that revolves around the purchase or Web browsing. For others it comes to ease of use and customer interfaces with the product or service you purchased.
The experience of the client end has a wide range of interpretations. For others it is the user-interfaces as client with the product or service you purchased. For some, it’s technical and service to the customer . And others see it as the creation of affinity through unique events, communities and promotions. The big question is: how to define their customer s the experience of the customer ?
Customer Experience Management (CEM) has similar ambiguity in business. Definitions include the customization of marketing communications and service to the customer , with the participation of client s in the dialogue with the company or business client s, the observations of development of new products, share success stories among the client s, organization of visits of the client s executive officers, organizing events, and rewarding loyal behavior. The big questions here are: In what way are the customer s a better position because of these programs CEM? Missing something to address the earlier question of how the client s define the experience of the customer ? Read the rest of this entry »
Marketing Restaurant – Better Restaurants offer Better Food?

Not necessarily. Or at least, not always.
Learn how to cook is never a guarantee of success. And we all know of restaurants with “more or less” food and recipes that have managed to create a virtual monopoly in their markets.
One thing is certain: If the product is poor, can not be set with more marketing. The product must be at least “acceptable” or “fairly good”.
The food is only a small part of the equation. Your customers have a number of “wishes” and “wants” when you visit. The “not wanting” are rather basic, really:
(A) is not to be poisoned;
(B) I will not be ignored or – worse – or talked to cried, and
(C) Do not want to wait too long.
The “wishes” are a little more elaborate, but nothing that can not be provided if it is running what could be the beginning of a real business:
(A) They want their dishes hot and cold salads;
(B) They want the wait staff to be helpful still relatively invisible, and
(C) If you are having dinner with someone, that person who wants to congratulate them suggesting his restaurant.
Note that the recipe of the grandmother of the mother country or the background image of luxury on the wall or even enter into the equation yet. Nor does it matter if your recipes are authentic and exciting, or were designed by Gordon Ramsey himself – unless and until it can meet the basic “wants” and “not wanting” their clientle.
And if you’re saying to himself: “Ah, but we have covered, these things never happen in my restaurant,” think again.
Even the best restaurants can not meet the six elements at any level of consistency. They recognize this fact and work on it every day.
Which is what makes them the best restaurants around.
Hey, you just said, “But my business is different”?
Puh-leease!
Improve the customer experience by overcoming ethnocentric Customer Centricity
It is easy to be ethnocentric about the customer-centrism! Ethnocentrism is the tendency to regard the world primarily from the perspective of their own culture. How often we see the customer experience, loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and customer service from the perspective of our own company culture? I dare say that “too often!”
On behalf of the client’s defense, which tend to have a series of exciting programs, customer relationship-building in its place: Advisory Councils, user groups, referral programs, satisfaction surveys, experiential marketing, communication personalized service, and more. These are indeed valuable efforts – but its usefulness is exponential when we put aside ethnocentrism for true customer-centricity. The key is in examining our motives. Read the rest of this entry »
