4 Introduction Banks are being increasingly challenged by cautious regulators, higher capital costs and challenges to core business models, while both banks and insurers face weaker demand, hesitant consumers and calls to rethink both internal processes and customer-facing operations. At the same time, the turmoil offers both types of firms the incentive to move farther from a transactional mindset. When banks and insurers are trusted by their customers, they find it easier to tap into the knowledge and emotions that drive customer behaviour. By rebuilding trust, financial services firms can work consultatively with customers to help them meet their personal goals in a tumultuous economic environment. About the survey In July 29, the Economist Intelligence Unit surveyed 86 executives at 86 financial services firms on the challenges of getting customer-facing departments to work together consistently and effectively. Fifty-five percent were from banking, 1% from insurance, and the rest from brokers, asset managers and other types of firms. Respondents spanned the globe, with 4% from the Asia-Pacific region, % from the Americas (primarily the US) and the rest from EMEA. Finance was the best-represented function (%), but marketing (19%) and customer service and sales (24%) were also well represented. Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 29
5 Key findings Presenting a consistent face to the consumer The banks and insurers surveyed feel that they need to work more effectively with customers, providing a consistent customer service approach in person, on the phone, on websites and any other means. Financial services firms are more than twice as likely to cite customer service as a core strength than operational excellence or product innovation. Nevertheless, they acknowledge room for improvement to keep nervous customers on board and build long-term relationships. The need for personal contact The role of personal contact and relationships has never been more crucial. Consumers have unprecedented levels of choice and access to information. They have come to expect more transparency than ever, with real-time data and financial advice available from free or low-cost websites. Stronger consumer protection laws and the rise of consumer-oriented websites suggest that prices and sales terms will become more transparent as well. Survey respondents acknowledge this reality when 2% say that customers see their products more as commodities than five years ago. Although most say that price is not the most important factor that customers consider, they admit that price is becoming more important. Even commodity sellers have some pricing flexibility; competitive prices are the price of admission, but the ability to compete on service, convenience and other non-price factors allows some wiggle room. Increasing customer satisfaction Most respondents say higher customer satisfaction is a top-priority objective, second only to improving efficiency. Higher satisfaction leads to more opportunities to cross-sell and upsell, two areas most in need of improvement. Another way to ensure more satisfied customers is to target the right ones those who respond to the firm s value proposition at the start. Approaching the right customers allows the firm to close more sales and do a better job holding onto the customers once they have purchased. 4 Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 29
6 The view from financial services organisations More respondents disagree More respondents agree Customers view my organisation s products and services more as commodities now than five years ago We are more engaged in developing products or services collaboratively with customers than we were 12 months ago Despite the recession, my organisation has greatly strengthened customer relationships over the past 12 months My organisation has more flexibility than its competitors in pricing its products Compared to our competitors, my organisation s customers are more loyal My organisation prioritises sales and marketing resources based on each customer s lifetime value My organisation has an accurate way to estimate the lifetime value of customers We are currently developing a social media strategy In chosing to do business with my organisation, price is the single most important factor most customers consider -4% -2% % 2% 4% Source: Economist Intelligence Unit survey, July 29. The press for efficiency The companies surveyed also want to make their operations more efficient: 6% say this is their highest priority. All report having at least ad hoc co-ordination and integration among customer-facing units marketing, sales and customer service but few are at the highest levels of integration. Whether in gauging customer satisfaction, responding to demands or complaints, tracking leads or planning and executing campaigns, only a small minority of executives claim broad and systematic integration among departments. The problem of metrics If the old management saying, What gets measured gets done, is accurate, most banks and insurers are not doing enough to serve their most valuable customers. Fifty-eight percent of executives say that customer relationships have improved over the past year despite the global economic downturn. But it is not clear that the right relationships have been improved. Fewer than three in ten have devised an accurate way to measure the lifetime value of customers, and about the same proportion say that they prioritise resources based on lifetime value. In other words, % do not know which of their customers account for the bulk of their profits (and also Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 29
7 How well do customer-facing departments sales, marketing, customer services work together?

Firms that cannot scrutinise customer-level data and model the value of customers not just customer segments, but individual customers will fall short in their efforts to improve both efficiency and customer satisfaction. How the three regions differ In terms of core strengths, institutions in all regions put customer service first, operational excellence second and innovation third. But relatively speaking, EMEA puts the most focus on customer service, Asia- Pacific on operational excellence and the Americas on innovation. Asia-Pacific Asia-Pacific institutions are more likely to point to core strengths in operational excellence. But this strength is not always apparent to the customer: Asia-Pacific institutions rate themselves relatively poorly in terms of gauging customer satisfaction and following up on complaints. They also fault themselves on their ability to cross-sell, upsell and provide a consistent customer experience. And more so than in other regions, they believe that their customer-facing units live in silos. When asked for the biggest benefits of integration, they say Making each unit aware of how others have interacted with the customer and Helping each function support the others. 6 Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 29
8 EMEA, Americas and Asia-Pacific regions see different benefits in integrating customer-facing functions EMEA EMEA wants to know the customer more intimately Americas Americans wants to direct resources to the most valuable customers Asia-Pacific Asia-Pacific wants to break down internal silos Knowing the customer more intimately Directing resources to the most valuable customers Breaking down internal silos % 1% 2% % 4% % 6% Source: Economist Intelligence Unit survey, July 29. EMEA EMEA institutions are most emphatic in saying that customer service is their core strength. EMEA institutions are good at following up on complaints, gauging customer satisfaction and building long-term relationships. They are intensely curious about customers. When asked about the benefits of integrating customer-facing silos, they are most likely to cite the ability to develop a rich and deep profile of customer behaviour. Of all the regions, EMEA is most focused on personal service. Americas More so than other regions, institutions in the Americas focus on measurement: they say that they are good at targeting the right customers measuring the results of promotional campaigns. However, they are frustrated by their inability to forecast the lifetime value of customers, and believe that the biggest benefit from integration will be the ability to identify and prioritise these customers. At the same time, as big institutions get bigger, many mid-size and smaller institutions in the region are having difficulty finding the capital to invest in measurement.

9 Conclusion With incomes starting to inch up again and the financial markets stabilising, consumers are ready to trust the banks and insurers that have shown themselves worthy. In the US, many banks as well as a few insurers are battling the perception that they have violated their social contracts by taking government money while acting unfairly towards their customers. To retain customers, banks and insurers must present a consistent experience and message with every interaction. They need to use those interactions to identify key prospects, while gathering information to improve service and sales. In particular, these firms need to: Align the sales, marketing and customer services departments to provide a consistent experience to customers. Accept the realities of commoditisation and price transparency. Give customers a value proposition that goes beyond economic self-interest. Do a better job of analysing customers, measuring lifetime value, and providing a high level of service to high-value customers. Gain experience with social media (only % of institutions are doing so). Many customers, especially older customers, may not belong to online communities. But the customers of the future do, and small efforts applied consistently today can make a big difference tomorrow. In simple terms, banks and insurers need to listen to individual customers and effectively use what they ve learned. A study published recently in the Journal of Financial Services Marketing finds that customer perception of listening effectiveness is positively and strongly associated with service quality, trust, satisfaction, purchase intentions and sales performance. By listening carefully and integrating what they learn across internal channels, financial services firms will better meet the needs of their customers, rebuild trust, and improve their own performance. 8 Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 29
