Creating Loyal Customers (CLC)

Creating fans of the brand to drive loyalty.

For those in a service, helpdesk, or customer-facing role, helping to drive loyalty, retention, and creating fans is essential for the business.

Creating Loyal Customers (CLC) focuses on how to create personalized interactions, connecting on an emotional level and being able to understand the impact of reciprocity in creating genuine, trustworthy value.

The programme also focuses on how to help the customer think ahead and create contact plans that build engagement and create a Trusted Advisor relationship that will enhance customer value.

Participants will explore how to interact with customers when proactively engaging with them to gather their views. The program will also focus on providing the skills and techniques to make the customer feel heard and create collaborative action plans with the customer to resolve any issues/complaints if necessary.

This modular course is based on more than 20 years of quantitative, qualitative, and field-based CX research. It forms part of Imparta’s 3D CX Curriculum, which helps CX and Service professionals deliver a differentiated customer experience.

This highly interactive program develops lasting skills and CX techniques through a comprehensive set of simulated activities, application, and real-life exercises, tools, and reinforcement techniques within Imparta’s continuous improvement ecosystem.
