Our challenge?
Continued success in customer acquisition, but
Growing numbers of customer attrition !

How do we define “Engagement”?
Committed to a long-term relationship
Proactively involved
Emotionally, psychologically, and physically connected
Simply “Satisfying” customers is not enough
Customers may be pleased with your service or product but lack an emotional connection to your company
Can result in customer attrition for minor reasons

Organizations that create a high level of engagement with their customers are more successful than those who don’t!

Fully engaged customers represent an average 23% premium in terms of share of wallet, profitability, revenue and relationship growth
Actively disengaged customers represent a 13% discount in those same measures

We believe successful use of our products and services (as measured by engagement) will compel our customers to stay longer, buy more, and advocate for CTCT.
The challenge is to develop an engagement score, all inclusive of the key metrics that measure and drives a customer’s engagement with CTCT’s products and services.
The goal of our Customer Success Index (CSI) is to put a tool into the hands of those employees who influence customers that provides clear direction for educating and coaching them toward a higher level of engagement.
Why Customer Engagement is critical to our long-term success
