benefits we can give to the
customer, where can we take
the customer…”

13. “What ever you do, do it well. Do it so well
that when people see you do it they will
want to come back and see you do it again
and they will want to bring others and
show them how well you do what you do.”
- Walt Disney
Loyalty Advocacy
14. Some experience
•Need to get alongside the CEO, and get him alongside
the programme
•Help the business ‘see the wood for the trees’
•Take the story on the road, particularly front line
employees
• Rationalise the ‘what’, ‘who’, ‘how’: focus on what really
drives loyalty, advocacy, margin and revenue growth
16. The magnificent seven
1. Strategic alignment – ensure that client insight goals and activities are aligned to the firm’s goals
and objectives.
2. Timeliness – the greatest strength of insight is the ability to foresee the future, e.g., before a
product launch, or before a new brand campaign goes live.
4. Timelessness – the principles that underpin the client insight strategy should have some longevity,
so the design has future tracking envisaged at the outset
3. Actionable – design it to be relevant and impactful to the business
5. Integration – combining client insight data, with market data, performance metrics, employee
survey data, social media and other internal dashboard measures is the ‘holy grail’ of client insight.
It’s difficult to do - but partnering may give richer insight.
6. Customer – focus on customers, as opposed to brand or channel, strategy. Seek deep insight
about the things that are import from the client’s perspective, rather than seek to understand things
that are important internally to the firm.
7. Adoption - does the client insight programme have its own vitality? The really client–centric
companies consider potential customer impact in every decision they make.

18. "What are the most effective ways
of obtaining client feedback/insight
from high-net worth private clients,
or key senior executive clients
(CEO/MD level), who are typically
time poor and whom often prefer to
delegate, or to simply ignore such
requests?"
19.
20. Pitfalls, mistakes and learning
1. Make it engaging, for client and for management
2. Commission, don’t buy data (like ever).
3. Personally know your NPS from NVS from your NFC.
4. Make it important, even emotive
5. Find a brilliant insight partner and bring them
inside
