Customer Feedback Management and the Predictive Analytics Platform

Federico Cesconi
Head of Customer Insights and Retention
Cablecom GmbH
Switzerland

Swiss digital service provider Cablecom has seen a dramatic transformation in their business. The company went from being a television provider in 2000 to offering a full range of broadband, fixed-line phone, mobile phone and digital TV in 2007.  Today, only 50 percent of revenue is from television. In that time, consumer take-up has increased to saturation point and competition has increased, so the need to acquire new customers has been replaced by an urgency to retain existing ones.

Addressing that issue, the company began using the SPSS-based Customer Feedback Management methodology from Peppers & Rogers Group, providing a predictive analytics platform to assess customer satisfaction at different touch points. Data is collected together to calculate a range of values, which are then incorporated into sales and marketing activities to increase customer loyalty, increase customer satisfaction, and decrease churn.

In this session, Cablecom will discuss how it calculated Customer Lifetime Value and Net Performer Scores with SPSS, and how it has turned these results into real actions which can improve relationships with customers. If you would like to learn how to accurately identify customer trends and use that strategic information to make key decisions, you don’t want to miss this presentation.

Surveying Customers on the Move

Simone Hermandinger
Head of Sales Planning and Market Research
KTM Sportmotorcycle AG
Austria

Imagine being able to capture information while on the move. One company that knows the importance of this concept is KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG, a truly global motorcycle manufacturer who has gained all three podium positions in the 2007 Dakar Rally. Their goal was to take surveying technology to events in order to engage with the public, prospects and customers and identify their perceptions -  obtaining and storing their feedback in real-time.

Enter Motion Computing, who has a 32 percent share of the tablet PC market, and worked very closely with SPSS to enable the use of Dimensions survey technology in these mobile environments. The session will demonstrate how this combined solution has been used at KTM to interview their customers no matter where they are. In addition you will see a demonstration of the technology and how it can be used in other industries.

Breakout Session 4: Monday, 14 May 2007

Championing the Voice of the Customer within the Predictive Enterprise

Heena Jethwa
Product Marketing Manager
SPSS Inc.
The Netherlands

CRM analytics, including data mining, have typically centred on behavioural and descriptive data. This has led to a deeper understanding of customers’ buying patterns among various demographic segments. What it has not provided, however, is insight into why constituent populations make certain purchase decisions—or, for example, what motivates consumers to change product or service providers.

In this session, we’ll discuss the value of attitudinal data—information about a person’s preferences, opinions, and desires—within the larger CRM context. We’ll also examine the benefits of treating attitudinal data in the same manner as transactional data and descriptive consumer information, making it a true corporate—and competitive—asset. We’ll explain the advantage of combining attitudinal data with behavioural and demographic information in data mining/predictive analytics modelling efforts and touch on the role of new techniques such as text analysis.

By attending this session, you’ll learn what it takes to champion the voice of the customer in the Predictive Enterprise.

Optimising Product Planning through Online Surveys

Hennes Fischer
