Customer Interactivity (Benefits to Customer, Benefits to Company)

As Peppers and Rogers (2001) suggest “A customer strategy enterprise interacts directly with an individual customer. The customer tells the enterprise about how he would like to be served. Based on this interaction, the enterprise, in turn, modifies its behaviour with respect to this particular customer. In essence, the concept implies a specific, one-to-one enterprise relationship, as in the case when the customer’s input drives the enterprise’s output for that particular customer”.

The Benefits to the Customer include among others time savings, technical assistance, assurance of performance, access to latest developments, superior responsiveness to service requests problems, superior fit to his needs because of personalised solutions etc.


The Benefits to the Company on the other hand from gathering customer’s information and trying to strategize on this creating a sustainable competitive advantage is among others lower rates of defection, greater loyalty and retention, higher profit margins than competitors.
