Overview

Customer Services Building Long-Term Customer Relations

Retaining existing customers is more profitable and cost-effective that looking to secure new business. In fact, it is approximately six-times more expensive to attract a new customer than to hold onto a current customer. Nevertheless, the vast majority of businesses continue to focus primarily – sometimes exclusively – on bringing new customers through their doors. The key to building long-term customer relationships lies in proactivity from the earliest possible stage. From that all-important first-impression, every customer should be encouraged and inspired to remain loyal to your brand. Which sounds easier said than done, but is surprisingly achievable with an intelligent approach.

This insightful course has been designed for anyone working in a customer service capacity, along with business owners, managers and staff trainers. Explore the true value and importance of long-term customer relationships, effective strategies for nurturing strong business relationships and the primary goals of customer relationship management (CRM). Learn how customer satisfaction and loyalty are directly linked with the overall performance of the business as a whole.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
