How You Can Get Started

 

Create Your Exceptional Client Experience Model 

​

1. To get started, review Create Brand Loyalty.

2. Begin to map out the activities you would like to include in your Client Experience using the Client Experience Worksheet which provides a sample of client service activities.

   • Carefully think about the client experience you want to create.

   • To be mindful of capacity, be sure to add the number of households in each category in the column indicating Client Classification.

   • To be mindful of variances with profitability between the client types, be sure to add the average revenue generated for each type of client group as well in the Total Contact column.

3. To learn more about each of the client service items listed, review the Client Experience Activities Overview.

   • Carefully consider the activities you don’t currently offer and identify the ones you’d like to incorporate into your client experience.

   • Consider the service activities that you presently engage in and assess the return on investment of the time, energy and money spent on each activity. If you plan to continue it, add it.

4. Once you know which service activities you want to offer, you need to determine the following:

   • Which clients will receive this service?

   • When will it be provided?

   • Who on the team will be responsible for this activity?

   • How will it be implemented?

5. Once you’ve customized the Client Experience Worksheet you are ready to activate it using technology. 

6. Assign a team member to fully automate Your Client Experience on your CRM. 

   • Your CRM may have a service feature to allow for easy implementation or you may use a combination of recurring activities and workflows to do so.

   • If you do not have a CRM, you may have to use an Excel Spreadsheet in combination with Outlook.

7. To ensure consistency and efficiency with delivery, have your team members create procedures for each of the service activities they are responsible for.
