Coronavirus: Five Rules for Growing Customer Coronavirus: Five Rules for Growing CustomerLoyalty - SOLD OUT

Please join us for a Zoom webinar with MIT Senior Lecturer Dr. Jonathan Byrnes HBS DBA ’80 about growing customer loyalty during the coronavirus pandemic.

The looming supply disruption from coronavirus – along with tariffs, and other factors – offers historical opportunities for companies to build or destroy customer goodwill.

Much is being written about how to manage the supply chain threat of coronavirus. The equally important, longer-lasting challenge is managing your customers through the crisis period to maximize their long-term loyalty and profitability.

For companies that get this right, the upside is enormous. Firms getting this wrong will suffer consequences for years to come.

In this webinar, Dr. Byrnes will explain how to develop a pragmatic customer management strategy for this difficult period based on five rules:
 

  • Prioritize your customers by profitability
  • Incorporate your emerging channel strategies
  • Align sales compensation with your priorities
  • Develop product substitution groups
  • Prevent over-ordering
