Strategy

I T COLLABORATIVE Process EFFORTS

Culture Senior Managers of Vodafone personally supervised the FEEDBACK COLLECTION from customers which they used to prioritize customer related issues, and reinforced the CRM vision of “ANTICIPATING NEEDS & THEREBY CREATING SUPERIOR VALUE”.

INDUS TOWERS are operating at 95,000 sites ! Network Expansion : 2,600 sites per month ! Vodafone is committed to its objective of providing low cost services to its customers. For this it is expanding network aggressively to reduce its total cost of network ownership.

(v) CRM PROCESS

Vodafone’s ability to chart out an average life cycle allows it to market different services. It prospects aggressively through advertizing.

2nd stage combines provisioning and verification. Vodafone activates a customers account and makes a first rating of the customer based on the application.

Vodafone’s well planned welcome process includes a call informing clients of the Vodafone help line & various value added services. At the end of this stage their first bill is generated.

The first collection marks the start of up-selling and cross selling. Analytical module steps in, CRM has to make every attempt count since clients can only be approached only a fixed number of times.

This stage may see a client wishing to leave. To keep churn down , Vodafone uses retention policies and loyalty processes to bring clients back to the fold. Many clients are won back. (vi) CRM INFORMATION

Custom analytics provide meaningful insight for personalized customer communications & interactions. Now, VODAFONE can:

 Identify customers’ value segments

 Understand customer needs and preferences

 Create targeted marketing & sales campaigns for specific customer segments

 Monitor customer responses

The main and overall result is that the new CRM solution has helped Vodafone to REDUCE ANNUAL CUSTOMER CHURN BY ~ 7 %. ASIAN E-BUSINESS MARKET WATCH

CRM solution has helped Vodafone employees to synchronize & coordinate all customer interactions across multiple channels, including telephone, e-mail, face to face, post & fax.

The CRM solution has also enabled employees to improve customer service, increase productivity and maximize revenues.

The workflow automation capabilities of the CRM solution have enabled the company to manage each and every one of these calls efficiently and professionally. Sales agents are now automatically connected to customers and prospects based on product & service expertise, named account, availability and geography. They can also check the status of a calling subscribers’ request or inform him/her of the status of the request.

Call scripting and profiling further improved agent productivity. A workflow-based user interface presents the appropriate questions and information as needed, guiding agents through a sequence of steps based on customers’ individual requirements. IV. ISSUES FACED
