Customer Engagement in Telecoms


2 DAY COURSE

Forward-thinking communications service providers are starting to shift their marketing focus away from a traditional productand technology-based approach (4Ps) towards building a deeper relationship with their customers throughout their lifecycle, integrating rapidly changing customer requirements in creative and innovative ways and delivering long-term relevance and value to customers and to other stakeholders. In this context, Us to Them one-way communications is losing both impact and relevance as customers increasingly demand equal voice in their dialogue with you and your partners. Alongside other elements of the extended marketing mix, Marcoms in particular has a vital role to play in creating a stronger bond between your organisation and your customers, creating and managing a multi-dimensional engagement and developing a long-term dialogue that contributes positively to the sustainability and protability of the customer relationship Course Contents The 21st century telecoms marketing environment Dening the purpose of customer engagement When to engage and who to engage with The engagement process Designing a customer engagement strategy Implementing a customer engagement strategy

Customer Focus in Telecoms Advanced Business Diploma


5 DAY COURSE

The revolution in the provision of communication technologies, services and applications is placing severe pressure on service providers ability to deliver what customers value protably, and to establish a viable long-term competitive business position. Marketing telecommunications services is no longer about selling technology. Communications service providers need to develop a very deep, multi-dimensional relationship with their current and future customers and understand how the revolution in the wider communications environment is changing customers behaviour, value requirements and satisfaction drivers. Organisations that fail to place the customer at the very centre of all their activities will fail to achieve this kind of relationship and will lose ground. The ve day, interactive programme is designed for managers who need to develop a thorough understanding of the customer and customer-centricity in the wider context of the communications industry. It provides the tools to help communications organisations and their partners to assess where, when and how to become more customer-centric and to use customer focus as the basis for improving overall organisational efciency and effectiveness. The programme focuses squarely on the customer, including: Advanced Marketing Changing Customer Requirements CRM & CEM Branding & Marketing Communications Customer Focus & ROMI
