19 Tips for Successful Segmentation & SNA Projects Try & combine different types of segmentation in order to address your business goal in the best way. There is not a magic segmentation that will cover all aspects of a customer s relationship with the organization Always enrich segmentation with market research to gain actual customer insight & perform SWOT analysis to support your segmental strategy vs competition. Start SNA for addressing basic business objectives before moving to more sophisticated ones e.g. detection of networks with increased churn rates or low company penetration. In banking the identification of the family circle is a project of major importance. Combine SNA with Segmentation & other Business Analytics in order to strategically acquire opinion leaders of your competition and promote new products & services utilizing the Viral effect. Ask opinion leaders (of both your customers base & competition) what can motivate them to switch providers or adopt a new service/product using market research. Use test campaigns for different products & services testing different referral incentives to identify early adopters & influencers. Keep that info in your databases and decide what works best for the Viral effect. 19
