We’ve discovered that today’s financial services customers have become knowledgeable, entitled, and demanding. A perfect example is the “Do Not Call Registry.?In its first six days, 12.5 million people signed on while more than sixty million are expected to register in total.

Customers are feeling empowered. They want instant gratification and they have come to expect a quality and highly personal customization experience.

The impact of the “Do Not Call Registry?points to the absolute necessity of customer retention and the responsibility to fully understand the customer experience and the role that experience plays in keeping customers on board.

Customer Experience Management is predicated on the notion that at the heart of any customer relationship is a series of very personal, often emotional interactions.

CEM seeks to examine and understand the dynamics of those interactions and then to adjust the organization accordingly.

Therein lies the biggest difference between CRM and Customer Experience Management. Specifically, CRM initiatives are inside out endeavors ?that is, they are oriented from the internal structure of an organization outside to the customer base. Unfortunately, the metrics and measurements of internal operating silos are rarely focused on actual customer segments.

CEM seeks to address these fundamental orientation issues with a framework that is maniacally focused on delivering a unified, branded customer experience across all “touchpoints?of customer interaction.

For instance, with CEM, a specific offer is not pointed at one specific customer. The offer is effectively wrapped around the appropriate customer segments or clusters. With CEM, the starting and ending points of the transaction are determined, not by the institution, but by the customer.

CEM is based on getting inside the customer’s shoes. It seeks to understand, in detail, what the customer is experiencing as they interact with the financial institution, especially around high impact events.

But CEM is more than a study in human behavior. Underlying CEM is a powerful data analytic process that seeks, first and foremost, to align IT requirements and spending around maximizing customer experience.

This result clarifies the relationship between the organization and its customers by delivering increased customer loyalty, superior customer service, and a differentiated customer experience.
