Examples of this are the established Online shopping portals like about Amazon, who live in this principle. The language of the customer understand and even speak: many companies had to in the context of social networks the painful experience do that very different are the language on Twitter or Facebook, as well as associated rules as in the traditional communication. Personal customer contacts are more sustainable, if customer service representative and customer at the same stage of life (such as raising a family) meet, this principle applies to use it. Data protection across all business processes and channels: it is again remarkable how many companies practice a relationship without any consideration of privacy and legal requirements. The customer discovered the irregularities, the damage is large and often ends the relationship.
Consistency in customer relations: it is also continually surprising how few companies provide a reliable 360 view of the customer. It is also a sustainable customer history among a sustainable customer relationship. Departure from the static behavior of offer: sustainable CRM also means that companies do not respond to dynamic customer relationships with standards. Rather, customers expect a customized solution that addresses a specific customer situation. There arises the question of how to implement a sustainable-oriented customer relationship management can be.
This begins with that for customers, sustainable values are produced by the companies invest more in the understanding of customer needs. At the same time, there is a need to focus on the customer and not the product in the customer contact. Because customers want less mass-produced, but tailor-made solutions at the right time. New technical solutions such as real time decisions based on business intelligence and probability models make this possible. Low purchase probabilities are available, products and services are not offered. Another aspect is from the perspective of implementation, to develop a 360 view of the customer at all customer touch points. Sustainable customer relationships require as comprehensive information about the customers. Companies must invest actively and comprehensively in the integration of customer information. Also fast solutions by generous decision powers (empowerment) are necessary so that employees and customers are put in the position, based on the available customer information in real time to make the right decisions. In addition, it is to establish a culture of data protection. In addition, the management must be ready to take a role. This certainly clashes with the principles of short-term profits in companies, there are different interests, which may be the sustainable management of the customer contrary to cross through the divisions.
