Overview
We're living in turbulent times. At the time of writing this article, we're amidst the global COVID19 pandemic and we're facing a recession worse than the one in 2008. People are unable to meet, both privately and professionally. Small business owners may need government support to feed their families. The world's largest businesses together have lost countless billions in shareholder value overnight.
Regardless of company size, we'll all be taking similar hits: customers may be unable to purchase goods anymore, projects big and small will be put on hold, purchase orders will be postponed, and some of our customers will stop investing all together.
Making our business more resilient to take on challenging times like these, should be a top priority!
Sticky companies are resilient companies. Let's start by stating that customer retention is not just a job for your service or support team. Marketing and sales also have an essential role to play. At least, that is how it should be. Ultimately, marketing, sales and service teams all have a direct impact on your bottom line.
If all the three teams are well-aligned throughout the entire buyer's journey, you'll find that your business adds much more value, prevents more customers from leaving, evens grows more existing accounts, and in the process becomes much more resilient along the way. This does not just happen overnight though, so it's important to get started sooner rather than later!
We've been a productive HubSpot partner since 2018. We've even hired a former HubSpot employee to launch and build our first international office in Amsterdam. We know what HubSpot can do for your organisation, and helping you prevent customers from leaving is certainly one of them. Here's how you could leverage their growth platform:
Many companies also use customer feedback surveys to understand what new products, features or services their customers want them to develop. It would be a shame if competitors can steal away customers, just because you weren't aware of what your customers needed you to build. Really, customer retention comes down to caring about what your customers want you to care about. Nothing more, nothing less!
Collecting customer feedback is just the start. Next comes analysing and categorising this big pool of information. Without proper analysis, it's much harder to prioritise and action the most important feedback. With HubSpot, there's no need to do any of this manually. The platform will bucket and summarise the data for your support team, so they can actually focus on contextualising, strategising and problem solving. In other words, give your team insights they need to avoid losing customers.
Some important questions might want to answer for yourself could be:
Here's where we separate those who lose customers from those who keep customers. Asking for feedback is nice. Analysing feedback is smart. But in the end, actioning feedback is the only thing that really matters. HubSpot's Service Hub can help you do so in an automated way!
For example, if a customer satisfaction survey tells you someone is very unhappy, you could have an automated trigger to go off to make sure a support rep gets a task to call the customer right away. Or if there are regular complaints about the support team, their manager could be notified and she could work with the team to provide better customer service. With an abundance of use cases, HubSpot's automation tools can also make a big difference on the speed and quality of your service actions!
Especially in tougher times, caring about and listening to your customers is what keeps them loyal to your business. HubSpot's feedback tools will make that much easier!
In many cases, customers not leaving is really the bare minimum. Ultimately, you want customers to purchase more products, more often. HubSpot's marketing automation system can help you generate demand from existing customers just as much as it can help generate new business. Especially in combination with HubSpot's feedback tools described earlier, companies have access to a very powerful system to build stronger customer relationships, resulting in a much more resilient business.
Here are just a few examples of how you could use marketing automation in combination with customer surveys:
All of this can be done automatically. You just tell the HubSpot system what you want it to do, and that's it. No more up- and cross-sell leads that fall through the cracks. No need for your sales team to call each and every customer to identify an opportunity. No reason why your customers would feel ignored, unappreciated or taken for granted.
The technologies to avoid losing customers while build stronger customer relationships are widely available. You just have to get started!
