Allianz Appoints MaritzCX as Partner for Their New Global Customer Experience Program

Last Updated: August 5, 2020By Admin

MaritzCX, the leading provider of customer experience software and service solutions, supports Allianz in further strengthening the customer-focused culture of the global financial services market leader.

Customer orientation, simpler products and consistent digitisation stand at the core of Allianz’s new strategic plan. To this end, Oliver Bäte, Chairman of the Management Board of Allianz, recently announced the goal for each division to become the market leader in customer satisfaction.

A key component of this initiative is to give 85 million customers worldwide the opportunity to provide feedback at all touchpoints along the customer journey, which will then be analysed in real time and made available to the various service departments so that they can respond promptly and individually to the experiences and expectations of their customers. As a result, customer satisfaction is to be continuously increased and processes are to be simplified for the customer.

To implement this strategy, Allianz has selected the market leader in customer experience management software, MaritzCX, as its global partner. The MaritzCX software is already being used by more than a third of the world’s 100 largest companies and has received several awards for its effectiveness in helping companies to operate close to their customers and continuously improve customer satisfaction.

In addition to an excellent rating for the software during the RFP process, MaritzCX also stood out for its experience in successfully implementing top solutions for numerous insurance companies and market leaders in other industries.

“We are excited to help Allianz further increase customer centricity and improve customer experiences so that customer satisfaction, loyalty and referral rates continue to increase across all markets,” said Stephan Thun, CEO International, MaritzCX.

To achieve better sales and profits, most companies could be doing more to cultivate business from their existing customers. However, enthusiasm for customer-retaining strategies must not endanger sound customer-getting efforts. How companies balance the two is the big question. To intensify reaching old customers while still seeking new ones, for many firms, will mean changes in market analysis, planning systems, management incentives, and marketing and/or operations organization. In the rush toward growth, consumer marketers have tended to regard success as stemming from obtaining new customers while unwittingly minimizing the importance of satisfying old ones. It is time for more companies to distinguish between their getting and retaining functions, to assess the balance between them, and to remedy any deficiencies in customer retention. This process requires management to value the potential of current customers and to treat them in special ways to get them to keep coming back. Several major elements should be part of the new marketing mix for customer retention: Product extras Keeping customers frequently requires giving them more than the basic product that initially attracted them. Product extras for individual customers over time can play a sales-expansive role. Reinforcing promotions Product promotion works better when aimed at existing customers. If a marketer knows who these customers are, benefits can be obtained by giving them reinforcing communications. Sales force connections The sales force can play a decisive role in the customer-retention function. At a retail or service counter the salesperson is the focal point of the company's strategy and is the firm to the customer. Post-purchase communication A company must anticipate that some customers will encounter either minor or serious problems after purchasing. If the firm is not ready to hear and correct these difficulties, the customer may not repurchase or may cancel the the relationship. Whether company or customer is at fault, standby post-purchase activities can be instrumental in saving these customers.
