Customer intelligence objectives should focus on: 1. Understanding Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) Smart analytics can help you understand the current value of your customers. Many Clubs collect transaction data and can quickly measure total spend. By adding some basic predictive models on top of your existing data, you can very easily determine each customer’s potential future value. This intelligence helps allocate resources more specifically, ensuring that every tactic ultimately increases customer value. 2. Predictive modelling: Don’t be scared of predictive modelling. Despite what may be promoted, the domain of predictive modelling is not owned by big Business Intelligence companies. You would be surprised, and pleasantly relieved, at how basic business applications can be layered over your customer data to determine next best action. Predictive modelling points your business towards: Predictive modelling is also effective as a proactive tactic to determine which customers are at risk of defection and what tactics are most likely to keep them engaged. 3. Voice of the Customer (VOC) Analytics: VOC analytics help companies listen, interpret and act on what their customers are really saying. This insight informs what is really important to customers and helps organisations prioritise what will make the greatest impact on the customer experience and their bottom line. VOC analytics enable companies to take informed, proactive action to either drive growth or reduce risk. 4. Customer segmentation: As Club managers we understand the need for multidimensional segmentation. Real customer intelligence goes beyond traditional demographic definitions to bring together value, needs and behaviour. This holistic approach helps identify (and quantify) new opportunities and helping to prioritise market segments and tactics for optimal results. proactively identify any risks and opportunities within your existing customer base. These metrics are designed to not only assess the health of the customer relationship in the short and long run; they also identify reasons for trends in the metrics, and help to identify actions needed to drive business growth. So where to start? It is tempting to consider investing in a large data warehouse with smart Business Intelligence tools. However, before selecting the most appropriate solution, Clubs need to look at their existing infrastructure and assess how they can best use the tools currently available. Clubs quite often have the tools in place, but not necessarily the right person asking the right question of the data. Start with asking the right question and the answer will unfold.
