Strategy

I T

Culture

Process COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS

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.

(v) CRM PROCESS

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.
