To take into account • Inside a company, we are all customers and suppliers at some point. • The general direction of the company is a provider of the board of directors and, at the same time, is customer and supplier of different management areas • Every business unit plays the role of a customer as well as a supplier in between its own departments and towards the other units. • All this part of the organization may be called the back office of the first line. The support of the final customer’s delivery. • The first line is the face of the company for our end customers.
- 8. • Most of customer contacts are made in the first line, so here are the best “customer profilers“ and those who know best the strengths and weaknesses of our products and services. • When the organization acknowledges the first line as an internal customer, the likelihood of providing a better experience to the end customer, increases. • When the customers information, collected from the different areas, is used as feedback for the organization, the greater it is its ability to design more efficient strategies in the different areas. • If the organization is focused on keeping their customer base, it has a certain chance to increase its perceived value, brand loyalty and ROI. • …. if not, there will always be someone out there, who will have a better offer which, if the switching cost is reasonable for the customer, will trigger his/her switch.
