Posted on Mon, Jul 11, 2011 @ 11:09 AM
The most important thing next strategy? Great strategic partnerships
Now that you've built an online portal to communicate with customers, the question becomes: How can you take advantage of that online strategy to add value to your customers and expand your business? One way is to build a value added community online by expanding the kinds of services you provide...and this service may not always be something you provide in-house.
Customers and consumers are more educated and demand access to services with a click of a button. In order for companies to thrive, it is critical to engage partners to deliver that last mile of service in order to gain and retain happy customers. For example, a credit union could offer easy access to personal financial planning services, or a bank could provide access to partners providing credit counseling. These additional services and resource options make your site more than simply an online statement portal; you have now created a value-added resource and online community.
Today organizations have the ability to engage service partnerships, expand business processes and grow customer bases with little or no capital expenditure. This blending of strategy and partnerships will enhance the customer experience for you and take advantage of the cross-sell opportunity with your strategic partners. As a result, you can reduce time to market and minimize operational costs. But more importantly, by partnering with third-party service providers you win new customers by just picking the right partners and related services.
