Impact 12 Customer Value Management Impact Story: Saxo Bank Saxo Bank is one of the global leading investment banks specializing in online trading and investment across international financial markets. With clients worldwide, Saxo Bank is recognized as excellence in service and technology. The online research method is an appropriate choice to reduce the cost with surveys in many locations. Two main methods are used to process data: Multiple regressions. Net Promoter Score (NPS): Percentage of detractors subtracted from the percentage of Promoters. On the recommend question a detractor scores 1-6, a passively satisfied scores 7-8 and a promoter 9-10. THE APPROACH Saxo Bank Headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark ADDRESSING THE ISSUES Epinion conducted an online survey with 817.633 participants, including 9 regions via 14 languages. The two types of respondents are: Client (SaxoBank customer) and Lead (Competitor customer has visited the SaxoBank homepage and given email).  The questionnaire is mainly focused on five dimensions which are extracted from the CVM model: product, service, trading platform, reputation and price. Each question was given a scale of 1 to 10 for a detailed evaluation. Saxo Bank enquired Epinion to implement a customer value added survey which was based on the main concept “Customer Value Management” (CVM).  The concept should be seen not just about customer satisfaction but further about customer perception of value. The survey would continually add significant new action oriented insights for Saxo Bank. SaxoBank provided a list of respondents to answer via web interface.  THE RESULTS Compared performance of Saxo Bank with competitors in terms of perceived quality and price to:  Identify the relative strength and weakness of SaxoBank. Identify the current position of Saxo Bank in the market. Indicate customer overall satisfaction towards Saxo Bank’s service performance in different customer-segments or different countries within the same region. Point out which dimension to be improved and how to make it efficient.

This is an unprecedented attempt to create a whole new industry. ADDRESSING THE ISSUES With an innovative vision for Vietnam’s future sustainable energy production, Green Energy Vietnam and Dragon Capital engaged on a journey to develop locally produced biofuels.

What is the potential for Pure Plant Oil (PPO) and Biomass fuel in Vietnam?” Getting started by this interesting yet challenging question, the team set the direction of the research and furthermore elaborated the issues of identifying industrial demands for PPO as a fossil fuel alternative and Biomass fuel as a wood/coal replacement domestically.  Will Jatropha be a daily alternative for fossil energy in Vietnam? THE APPROACH During the study, Epinion completed more than 500 telephone interviews with potential users in six provinces of Vietnam. The process of gaining trust and achieving a high success-rate was accomplished by using a team of persuasive interviewers and building relationships with interviewees. By top-down methodology Epinion’s consultants established the three logical sub-questions: What is the current market demand? How best to distribute the products? How is the market acceptance of these new products? THE RESULTS The final result became an important element of the commercial due diligence of the Green Energy project and the knowledge was used in the Investment Memorandum as an objective third party assessment of the market potential.

This research method not only minimizes quality risk, but also is cost saving. Information keyed into this system is kept confidential. Together with various statistical applications, a frequency, mean and cross-tab method were used to process the collected data.  Clearing road blocks for the growth ADDRESSING THE ISSUES THE RESULTS It is an essential element of all business enterprises to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its supply chain.

  • 12. Impact 12 Customer Value Management Impact Story: Saxo Bank Saxo Bank is one of the global leading investment banks specializing in online trading and investment across international financial markets. With clients worldwide, Saxo Bank is recognized as excellence in service and technology. The online research method is an appropriate choice to reduce the cost with surveys in many locations. Two main methods are used to process data: Multiple regressions. Net Promoter Score (NPS): Percentage of detractors subtracted from the percentage of Promoters. On the recommend question a detractor scores 1-6, a passively satisfied scores 7-8 and a promoter 9-10. THE APPROACH Saxo Bank Headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark ADDRESSING THE ISSUES Epinion conducted an online survey with 817.633 participants, including 9 regions via 14 languages. The two types of respondents are: Client (SaxoBank customer) and Lead (Competitor customer has visited the SaxoBank homepage and given email). The questionnaire is mainly focused on five dimensions which are extracted from the CVM model: product, service, trading platform, reputation and price. Each question was given a scale of 1 to 10 for a detailed evaluation. Saxo Bank enquired Epinion to implement a customer value added survey which was based on the main concept “Customer Value Management” (CVM). The concept should be seen not just about customer satisfaction but further about customer perception of value. The survey would continually add significant new action oriented insights for Saxo Bank. SaxoBank provided a list of respondents to answer via web interface. THE RESULTS Compared performance of Saxo Bank with competitors in terms of perceived quality and price to: Identify the relative strength and weakness of SaxoBank. Identify the current position of Saxo Bank in the market. Indicate customer overall satisfaction towards Saxo Bank’s service performance in different customer-segments or different countries within the same region. Point out which dimension to be improved and how to make it efficient.

Will Jatropha be a daily alternative for fossil energy in Vietnam? THE APPROACH During the study, Epinion completed more than 500 telephone interviews with potential users in six provinces of Vietnam. The process of gaining trust and achieving a high success-rate was accomplished by using a team of persuasive interviewers and building relationships with interviewees. By top-down methodology Epinion’s consultants established the three logical sub-questions: What is the current market demand? How best to distribute the products? How is the market acceptance of these new products? THE RESULTS The final result became an important element of the commercial due diligence of the Green Energy project and the knowledge was used in the Investment Memorandum as an objective third party assessment of the market potential.
