The topic of this article is customer-referential accomplishment-measurements. After discovering the main aspects you will read about a real project in that field. In the framework of a quality-management system, I would like to show how measured data and successful actions belong together
It is mostly extremely helpful to bind external know-how for such projects. The daily work in business is usually at the utilization-border - the resource time is frequently lacking in such projects.
Success-strategy No.6: Let your business be assessed by your customers. The perception of your business from view of your customers shows, provided you measure these results well, their opinion of how well you are doing.
Simply use these proven methods for it: Acknowledgment and complaints are filtered especially easily out of a well led CRM data base system. Further possibilities are: Customer-surveys and focus-groups.
These particularly success-promising starting points like, accessibility, products and services, sale and customer service-performances, image and customer-loyalty, are approved levers for your business-success.
My tip for you is this: Our most successful customers concentrated on one starting point each, then they optimized and developed it to a substantial benefit for all participants.
A real project
In a small business from Germany started a project to improve the image and accessibility of their website. The internet marketing department of Arguna Consulting worked out the strategy in order to secure the success of the project.
This small business approached us in order to dramatically increase the success-promising strategic drivers "accessibility and reputation" on their homepage for prospects and customers.
We began by developing a sound plan for the whole project. While project-plan and meaningful goals were developed, we measured the current state of accessibility and reputation and documented the results in those areas.
Altogether 8 internal and external specialists were put together for the project-team: Internally two managers, a sales manager and the marketing-manager. A external graphic designer, web programmer and photographer took on with the technical tasks. Arguna Consulting managed the project and provided a convenient internet marketing strategy.
The most success-promising starting points were found in the carried out inventory of the current state. The rankings of the previous internet-appearance in the search engines Google, Yahoo! and MSN was not very satisfying; additionally, more qualified visitors should come to the web site and become prospects and ultimately new customers.
After a thorough investigation and some result oriented meetings, new markets and niches were found. Copy-writing was written, creatively designed, programmed and photographed. Code-optimizations, competitor-analysis and the specifically worked out value-hierarchy of this small business was transferred into the vision statement and mission statement.
The great commitment of all team-players pushed structures, so that a good work-division and few competence-fights happened. The project-management took care that this phase could be completed after short time period and the new home page had its successful launch.
Within two weeks, we increased the market size of our client and the potential share of it by 310 percent! The attainability simultaneous went up by 1300 percent! In these 14 days, an unusually high number of new prospects contacted our small business and asked for offers.
All these are measurements which could be won from the analysis of the business-internal accomplishment-indicators.
That is the end of the beginning and the continuation remains exciting
Result: Dedicated, smart and thorough working proved here itself in all project-phases once again. The small business owner can have hopes in realistic manner to reach his Break-Even-Goal much earlier than he had planned.
