You don’t want your client
relationship to go stale, for them to forget about you or believe you
don’t care about them. To
best develop relationships with and retain your customers, you need to
touch them, proactively, with communications on an ongoing basis.
Customer touches are part of the
CSS Client Relationship Development (CRD) Methodology.
CSS develops a sophisticated spreadsheet-based tracking system
for managers to use to set Touchpoint goals for staff (what touches, how
many, for which types of clients, and when they should occur throughout
the year). The system is
then given to the Sales/Service representatives to use in their
Touchpoint scheduling and to document actual v. planned touches.
As a complement to the Touch Point
System, CSS also creates draft templates for the representatives
to use in making the touches with their account holders. Our goal is to give the staff a
starting point and structure (subject, greeting, body, closing, footer)
for how to efficiently make personalized touches by starting with a
standard template. They
should have access to these and other templates to help expedite their
touches.
