How we’ve helped our clients
The issue
An automotive manufacturer in Germany sought to improve and standardise the quality of after-sales services, to increase cross-selling opportunities and encourage customers to upgrade.
Our approach
With insights from TRI*M we developed action-planning workshops for dealerships that focused on their specific drivers of customer loyalty. We prioritised the actions required, according to their business impact.
The insights
Our workshop approach enabled strong buy-in from client-facing employees. The specific action plans helped to improve operational efficiency and quality for each dealership.
The impact
Dealerships participating in the TRI*M workshops significantly improved their customer retention and were much more likely to meet the manufacturer’s defined quality standards.
The issue
A leader in telecommunications network equipment and services in Germany was losing revenue and customers from an important B2B segment. The business had limited budget to address the issue, putting its growth strategy at risk.
Our approach
A TRI*M survey assessed key drivers for relationship strength. Mirror analysis compared customers’ service experience with employees’ perception of their performance.
The insights
Customer retention levels were low - much lower than the competition and among the bottom third of the TRI*M database. Results showed an urgent need to clarify the responsibilities of sales and project management. 
Employees overestimated their performance and underestimated the need to deliver better customer service.
The impact
Delivery improvements at key customer touchpoints generated an estimated value to the business of over €35 million through significant churn reduction, increased average spend and customer advocacy.
